About Aightify

A senior team that ships.

We are 120+ engineers, designers, and operators building software for organisations that take reliability seriously. Our engagements span from two-week spikes to multi-year platform builds.

Founded in San Francisco in 2018, we now operate from offices in San Francisco, London, and Singapore. We work with regulated industries where downtime is not an option and craftsmanship compounds over time.

Read our story

Industries

Built for sectors that don’t tolerate downtime.

We partner with teams in regulated industries where architecture choices have real-world consequences — patient safety, financial stability, citizen services.

How we work

A four-step engagement, designed for clarity.

Each engagement follows the same arc — whether you need a two-week spike or a multi-year platform build.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map your system, stakeholders, and constraints in week one — no surprises later.

  2. 02

    Design

    Architecture, data flow, and integration contracts pinned down before a line of code.

  3. 03

    Build

    Small senior teams ship in two-week slices, demoed weekly, behind a single Slack channel.

  4. 04

    Operate

    We run what we build with on-call coverage, SLOs, and quarterly reliability reviews.

Regulated by default

Testimonials

What clients say after the launch.

“Aightify built the clinical decision support platform that now serves 1.2 million patients across our network. Their engineers understood our regulatory burden from week one and shipped a system our clinicians actually trust.”
Dr. Priya Krishnan · Chief Medical Information Officer at Northwind Health
“We've worked with three other consultancies on cloud migrations. Aightify is the first one that understood our regulator audience as well as our engineers. The platform they built has held up to two examinations with zero findings.”
Marcus Hale · Chief Technology Officer at Atlas Federal Credit Union
“The predictive maintenance platform cut our unplanned downtime by 38% in the first six months. The team that built it is still operating it — that's the kind of continuity we needed.”
Sofia Reyes · VP of Operations at Lumen Manufacturing
“Our new benefits portal launched on time and under budget, with accessibility baked in from day one. Aightify's team understood that government services have to work for everyone.”
Helen Wu · Chief Digital Officer at Granite Public Services

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Engagement model, pricing, hiring, security. If you have a question we missed, drop us a note.

How do you staff engagements?

Every Aightifier on your engagement has 6+ years of production experience. We don't use staff augmentation, junior developers, or offshore teams. Each engagement is staffed by 2-6 senior engineers with a dedicated engagement lead, and we add specialists as the work demands.

What does pricing look like?

We charge a flat monthly fee tied to the team size and engagement length. Typical engagements start at $45k/month for a two-engineer pod and scale based on scope. Pricing is benchmarked against top-tier consultancies and reviewed annually. We share OKRs and back them with skin in the game.

How long is a typical engagement?

Our average engagement is 28 months. The shortest engagements we accept are two-week paid pilots, and the longest client relationships have spanned seven years. We optimise for continuity, not headcount, which is why retention is our primary metric.

Do you sign NDAs and DPAs?

Yes. We sign mutual NDAs before discovery calls and execute enterprise DPAs as part of contracting. For regulated clients (HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA), we will work with your legal team to align on data residency, sub-processor lists, and breach notification timelines.

What is your security posture?

We are SOC 2 Type II certified, with annual audits by an independent firm. Our engineers are trained on secure-by-default patterns, and our delivery process embeds security reviews at every stage. For FedRAMP-bound workloads, we operate in GovCloud and maintain continuous monitoring controls.

Can you work with our internal teams?

Yes — and we prefer it. The most successful engagements pair our engineers with your engineers on shared goals. We use your tooling where it makes sense, document our decisions in your wikis, and aim to leave your team stronger than we found them.

What happens after launch?

Every shipped system comes with a two-year defect warranty at no additional cost. After that, you can keep us on for managed services, hand off to your internal team with a knowledge-transfer plan, or a mix of both. We never hold systems hostage.

Do you work with startups?

We do, with one caveat: we are not the cheapest option, and we are not the right fit for pre-product-market-fit teams. We typically engage with startups that have found traction and need to scale production-grade systems without growing an internal team too quickly.

How do you handle AI safely?

Our AI practice is built around evaluation, observability, and guardrails. Every AI system we ship has an evaluation harness in CI, observability dashboards in production, and explicit guardrails for safety and compliance. We treat AI as a system component, not magic.

Have a system in mind?
Let’s talk.

Most engagements start with a 30-minute call. We’ll listen, ask sharp questions, and tell you whether we’re the right team.
