You keep what matters. We handle the rest
You keep the direction. Your roadmap, your priorities, your engineering standards. The team reports to your tech lead.
You keep the talent. Software, AI/ML, QA, DevOps and product engineers in Lithuania — full-time, dedicated, yours to manage, and yours to hire if you ever want to bring the team in-house. (That's how Tide built their tech centre.)
You keep the IP. Everything the team builds is yours from day one.
We handle the rest. Recruiting, contracts, payroll, benefits, office space, hardware, local HR. Everything that gets in the way of shipping.
Tide Business
Tide is an all-in-one finance platform for business owners in the UK, EU and India. Tide supports over 1 million small businesses and is one of the UK’s fastest-growing fintechs, currently the choice of over 15% of SMEs in the UK.
Tide needed to quickly scale their engineering teams to support accelerated growth and international expansion, while maintaining the high standards of technical ability and domain knowledge that are required to develop a global digital banking platform.
New team in three simple steps
Our services
Our approach
We built Architus to be the outsourcing partner we'd have wanted ourselves — when we were running engineering at Deutsche Bank, Schroders and Goldman Sachs. That means real screening, not a CV pipeline. Senior engineers with five-plus years in fintech, not body-shop juniors. A published rate card, not a negotiation. A team that reports to your tech lead, not to an account manager. And a 95% retention rate, because the engineers we hire actually want to stay.
