Quantum Data Wave · Sofia · Remote-first

Lead engineers for the system that comes after the MVP.

We design and build the production AI, ML, and data systems that survive real load, for hedge funds, financial institutions, and platforms scaling past their first ten million users.

What we do

Three lines of work. We turn one down for every one we take.

Agentic systems

Production agents that survive contact with real users. We design the planner, the tool layer, the eval harness, and the guardrails. Then we own the model behind a flag for the first ninety days.

Typical engagement · 4–9 months

ML models

Models built for the cost and latency budget you actually have. We close the loop between feature store, training, and the live request path before the model itself is the question.

Typical engagement · 3–7 months

Platform scaling

When a working product starts cracking at the seams. We rebuild the hot path (usually data, often infra, occasionally the team's habits) so the next ten million users don't break it.

Typical engagement · 6–12 months

Names withheld. Numbers are real.

We work under NDA, so you won't see logos here. What follows is anonymised to protect client confidentiality. Same shape on every engagement, same kind of numbers.

A hedge fund that can finally see why its data pipeline keeps breaking.

Problem: Data processing had outgrown what the team could observe. When something slowed down or broke, nobody could tell if the cause was the infrastructure or the pipeline logic — every incident turned into a days-long hunt.

We built: Observability across both the infrastructure and the pipelines first, so every slowdown pointed to an exact cause — then fixed what the evidence actually pointed to, on both sides.

We didn't: Rewrite the pipeline architecture before knowing what was actually wrong.

How we start

The First Hour.

Our intake. Two calls, sixty minutes total. You leave with a written one-pager.

QDW intake

Two calls. A written read. No commitment.

Bring the technical lead. We'll bring ours.

00 : 00

Scoping call

Thirty minutes. What you're trying to build, what's in the way, who's already on it. No slides.

00 : 30

Technical call

Thirty minutes with the engineer who would lead the work. Architecture, constraints, hard questions.

00 : 60

Written read

A one-page brief delivered within 72 hours: how we'd frame the problem, risks we see, a team and timeline.

Whether you hire us is a separate question.
