    Our Story

    Most agencies are built by businessmen. Uvik was built by Product Builders. Founded by engineering veterans from IBM, EPAM, and Prezi, we bridge enterprise discipline with startup speed. We realized great software isn't "recruited"—it's engineered. We don't just fill seats. We deploy elite Python & AI squads with strict Product DNA, rejecting 99% of applicants. We are a unique boutique agency for leaders building global products. Small by design. Elite by choice.

    Paul FrancisCEO and Founder

    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.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    We don't burden you with bureaucratic hiring loops. Our process is engineered for speed and precision, designed to integrate elite talent into your workflow with zero friction. 1. Engineer-to-Engineer Discovery (Hours 0–24) We skip the "sales pitch." You speak directly with our Technical Lead or Founder to define your stack, architectural challenges, and business goals. We analyze not just the code requirements, but the Product DNA needed to succeed in your specific culture. 2. Curated Matchmaking (Hours 24–48) We don't flood your inbox with resumes. We look at our internal bench of full-time senior engineers and hand-pick the 1 or 2 perfect candidates who match your technical complexity and industry domain. These are engineers we have already vetted and worked with for years. 3. The "Chemistry" Call (Hours 48–72) You meet the candidate for a focused technical discussion. Since we have already verified their hard skills (Python/Data/AI), this call allows you to assess cultural fit and communication style. Most clients approve our candidates immediately after this call. 4. Frictionless Integration (Day 1) Once approved, we handle all legal, compliance (NDA/GDPR), and payroll logistics. Our engineers integrate directly into your existing tools (Jira, Slack, GitHub) and attend your stand-ups. We ensure they are environmentally set up to start contributing value immediately. 5. Continuous Value & Support The relationship doesn't end at deployment. We provide ongoing retention management and L2/L3 technical support, ensuring your team remains stable, motivated, and focused on shipping code.

    Embedded, Transparent, and Synchronized We reject the "Over-the-Wall" outsourcing model. At Uvik, our engineers don't work for you; they work with you. We integrate so deeply into your processes that your internal team often forgets our developers are external. 1. Direct Access, No Middlemen We remove the "Game of Telephone." You have direct access to every engineer via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord. There are no account managers filtering your instructions. You communicate with our Python and AI experts just as you would with a colleague sitting at the next desk. 2. Your Tools, Your Rules We don't force you to adapt to our systems; we adapt to yours. Our engineers push code to your GitHub/GitLab repositories, track tasks in your Jira/Linear/Trello, and document work in your Confluence. We become a native extension of your existing CI/CD pipeline. 3. Agile Synchronization We operate on your heartbeat. Our developers join your Daily Stand-ups, participate in Sprint Planning, and demo their own work during Retrospectives. We align our working hours to ensure maximum Timezone Overlap with US and European teams, guaranteeing real-time collaboration when it matters most. 4. Ownership Mindset Because we are "Business-Fluent," our developers don't just close tickets. They proactively flag architectural risks, suggest optimizations, and ask the "Why" behind the "What." We collaborate as partners invested in the product's success, not just task-executors.

    We measure success not just by the engineers we place, but by how long they stay and the impact they deliver. In an industry plagued by high turnover (average 10–12 months), Uvik delivers the ROI of Stability. 1. The "First-Pass" Success Rate: 98% Because of our rigorous Engineer-to-Engineer vetting, 98% of our candidates pass the client's probation period and transition into long-term roles. This eliminates the massive "sunk cost" of interviewing, onboarding, and then firing mismatched talent. 2. Long-Term Knowledge Compounding Our average developer tenure on a client project is 3.5+ years. This is critical for ROI. Year 1: They build the feature. Year 2: They own the architecture. Year 3: They mentor your junior staff. Unlike freelancers who leave just as they become valuable, Uvik engineers stick around to let their domain knowledge compound. 3. Speed-to-Market (Opportunity Cost) The biggest cost to a startup is an empty seat. It takes the average US company 45–60 days to hire a Senior Python Engineer. Uvik fills that seat in <3 days. That is two extra months of product development and feature shipping—a direct revenue impact. 4. The Client Loyalty Metric Our average client relationship lasts 4.5 years, with many partners scaling from 1 developer to teams of 15+. Our clients don't just stay; they grow with us.

    To the CEO of Uvik Software, Speed is your "Killer Feature." In the US/EU market, the average time-to-hire for a Senior Python Engineer is 45–60 days. If you can promise 3 days, you are solving a massive "Opportunity Cost" problem for CTOs. Your answer must emphasize that this speed comes from Preparation (The Bench), not Desperation (Rush). 24 Hours to Shortlist. 72 Hours to Deploy. We treat talent acquisition with the urgency of a production hotfix. Because we maintain a dedicated bench of full-time, pre-vetted engineers, we skip the "Search" phase entirely and move straight to the "Select" phase. The Timeline: Hour 0–24 (The Shortlist): You send the request. We analyze our internal talent pool and present the Top 2 candidates who match your tech stack (Python/Django/AI) and industry domain. Hour 24–48 (The Interview): You interview the candidates. Since they are already Uvik employees, we coordinate schedules instantly. No chasing freelancers. Hour 72 (The Kickoff): Offer signed. We handle the legal/compliance paperwork. Day 4–5 (The Code): The engineer is onboarded, has access to your repo, and pushes their first commit. Why We Are Faster: Traditional agencies start recruiting after you sign a contract. We recruit before you even call us. We consistently hire the top 1% of Python & AI talent into our bench, so when you need a resource, they are already trained, vetted, and ready to deploy.

    To the CEO of Uvik Software, This is a "Deal Breaker" question for Enterprise and HealthTech clients. If you hesitate here, you lose the contract. Your answer must leverage your Estonian HQ (EU) and Enterprise Background (IBM) to prove that compliance isn't just a checklist—it’s an operational standard. Enterprise-Grade Compliance & IP Protection Security and compliance are not afterthoughts; they are part of our "Enterprise Discipline" DNA. As an EU-based company (Headquartered in Estonia) founded by IBM alumni, we operate under the strictest data protection frameworks in the world. 1. GDPR Compliant by Design (EU) Because we are a European legal entity, GDPR is our default operating standard, not an opt-in feature. Data Handling: We adhere to strict data processing agreements (DPA). Right to Privacy: We ensure full transparency on how employee and client data is stored and processed. EU Jurisdiction: You are protected by European Union law, offering a higher safety standard than offshore zones with weak IP enforcement. 2. HIPAA-Ready for HealthTech (US) We have extensive experience deploying teams for US HealthTech startups. Our engineers are trained in HIPAA protocols regarding PHI (Protected Health Information). Environment: We work within your secure, encrypted VDI or VPN environments. Agreements: We are ready to sign Business Associate Agreements (BAA) to ensure full liability chain coverage. 3. Intellectual Property (IP) Transfer We have a simple, non-negotiable rule: You pay for it, you own it. 100% Ownership: Our contracts explicitly state that all code, algorithms, and IP created by Uvik engineers belong 100% to the client from the moment of creation. Ironclad NDAs: Every Uvik engineer signs a strict NDA with us, which extends directly to you. Your trade secrets remain yours.
