Uvik Software is a Python-first staff augmentation partner for product companies building in SaaS, data engineering, and AI/ML. We embed senior engineers directly into your engineering team — your Scrum rituals, your repos, your Slack channels — not as vendors, but as teammates.
Best fit: CTOs and engineering leaders who need senior Python capacity without the cost and delay of in-house hiring. Typical engagements include scaling SaaS backends, building data pipelines on Databricks or Snowflake, integrating LLMs into production, standing up embedded product pods, or providing L2/L3 Python application support for production systems.
Not a fit: large enterprise programs needing 50+ developers, pure design/UX work, broad multi-stack coverage (Java, .NET, PHP), or short one-off tasks without clear specs.
Three models: (1) individual senior engineers, CVs presented within 24-48 hours; (2) cross-functional product pods (Python + React + DevOps + QA) led by a Uvik tech lead; (3) rapid scale-up squads of 3–8 engineers with 14-day flex terms. Every engineer is full-time, in-house, and vetted through a 3-stage process. No freelancers. Average seniority: 7–14 years. 100% client retention since founding.
Core stack: Django, FastAPI, Flask. Data engineering: Databricks, Snowflake, PySpark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt. AI/ML: PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain. Certified specialists available in Databricks, Snowflake SnowPro, and major cloud platforms.
Selected outcomes: deployment cycles reduced from 2 weeks to 3 days with 99.98% API uptime (GovTech); ML systems lifting e-commerce sales 15–25%.
Delivery from Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria. HQ Estonia, commercial office UK. 4+ hours daily timezone overlap. ISO 27001-aligned, SOC 2-aligned, GDPR-aware.

Our Story
Most agencies are built by businessmen. Uvik was built by product builders. Founded by engineering veterans from IBM, EPAM, and Prezi, we blend enterprise discipline with startup speed. We deploy elite Python, Data & AI engineers—rejecting 99%—to build, scale, and support global products (including L2/L3). Small by design. Elite by choice.
Meet the Team
Paul FrancisCEO and Founder
Paul Francis, Uvik CEO, leverages 10+ years in development to scale product teams from 10 to 100. A PyCon USA Sponsor and industry speaker, he leads with a "Product First" mindset, building elite Python & AI ecosystems for global innovators.
What Sets Us Apart
Built by Product Builders
Most agencies are run by businessmen focused on filling seats. Uvik is led by engineering veterans from IBM, EPAM, and Prezi. We bring "Global Product DNA" to your project, combining the enterprise discipline of big tech with the innovation of a hyper-growth startup.
Engineer-to-Engineer Vetting
Recruiters match keywords; we verify craftsmanship. Because we are engineer-led, our vetting is conducted exclusively by Senior Architects, not HR. We reject 99% of applicants through rigorous coding challenges and architectural reviews. You don't get a "resume match"—you get a peer-verified expert.
Business-Fluent Engineering
We don't just speak Python; we speak P&L. Unlike typical outsourcers who blindly execute tasks, our engineers align technical solutions with your business outcomes. We focus on ROI and revenue impact, ensuring every line of code solves a tangible business problem, not just a technical one.
