Engineering Consulting & Staffing

Get rid of the guesswork so you can confidently move forward with product plans. We’ll uncover user needs and focus on business goals to develop a strategy that aligns teams to create products that serve and delight. Then we’ll narrow in on new solutions and create a product roadmap that sets the stage for successful delivery.

Future-proof performance

Ensure your application has the foundation to keep it humming along. We’ll help architect a technical ecosystem that works now and is designed to be scalable without sacrificing function.

Supercharge your staff

Give your team a boost with training from our experienced engineers. They’ll get expert guidance to help take their skills to the next level or feel more confident in their use of a language or framework.

Partner with pros.

We don’t just use innovative approaches to product development — we lead them by heavily investing in open-source solutions (like contributing to the Elixir ecosystem). Our world-class engineers are ready to elevate your team and processes so you can take full advantage of what’s next.

Architecture Consulting

Need help validating that your application is built on solid architecture and design patterns? Or looking for guidance on how to address performance concerns that are hindering the success of your product? DockYard can audit your existing codebase, or partner with your team on the architecture of a new application so you can avoid costly refactors down the road.

We’re hardly just “hands on keyboards.” Our expert engineers have solved some super complex coding challenges for some of the world’s most innovative companies. Whether you need someone to set the technical direction or a team of experienced engineers, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work on everything from new features to major releases, making sure you’re leveraging the right technologies for each particular product. We’ll then transfer the tech in-house and teach your team how to maintain and extract its full potential.

There’s a lot of strategic thinking baked into DockYard’s process. From the very beginning, they’re just kind of end-to-end. As a design firm, they have a very strong focus on the end user. We can come to them with a vision of what the product has to do, but they’re very disciplined about helping us think through various segments of users and how each would use our application.
