Software engineering consultants for business-critical systems
Senior backend, frontend and full-stack engineers who build software your own team can maintain. SwedQ consultants join an existing product team or work as a complete delivery team.
What do SwedQ software engineering consultants do?
They design, build and improve production software: APIs, integrations, distributed systems and cloud-native applications. The focus is on code that is tested, readable and maintainable after the consultants leave, not only on shipping features quickly.
What our software engineers work on
Assignments range from a single senior developer in a product team to a team that builds a new system end to end.
Backend engineering
Services, domain logic, data access and performance work in languages such as Java, Kotlin, C#/.NET, Go, Python and TypeScript.
Frontend engineering
Web applications with React and modern TypeScript, with attention to accessibility, performance and design-system consistency.
Full-stack delivery
Engineers who can take a feature from database to user interface without hand-offs between specialists.
APIs and integrations
REST and event-driven APIs, contracts between teams and integration with existing systems of record.
Distributed systems
Services that must handle failure, retries, consistency and scale, designed with clear boundaries.
Cloud-native development
Applications built for containers, managed cloud services and automated deployment on AWS or Microsoft Azure.
Testing, quality and maintainability
Software that cannot be changed safely becomes a cost. Our engineers treat quality as part of the work rather than a separate phase.
- Automated tests at the level that gives confidence: unit, integration and contract tests.
- Code reviews and shared conventions that the whole team, not only the consultants, can follow.
- Observability built in: logging, metrics and tracing that make production behavior understandable.
- Small, frequent changes that are easier to review, test and roll back.
Modernizing existing applications
Many assignments involve software that already runs the business. We improve it incrementally: adding tests around fragile areas, extracting services where it makes sense and replacing outdated frameworks without a full rewrite. For larger modernization programs, see architecture and modernization.
Inside your team or as a delivery team
Two setups cover most needs.
Inside an existing product team
A SwedQ engineer works under your product owner and with your developers, following your processes. Useful when you need capacity or a specific skill quickly.
As a SwedQ delivery team
A team with its own technical lead takes responsibility for a defined scope, such as a new service or a modernization stream, and reports progress to you.

We begin with a short conversation about the system, the team and what success looks like. You then receive a proposed role or team setup, meet the proposed engineers and agree terms before the start date.
