Senior engineering for companies that need to ship — without Bay Area agency rates.
From our San Jose office NHZ Global works with startups and established companies across Silicon Valley and the Bay Area — San Francisco, Oakland, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Fremont and the Peninsula. We take products from prototype to production, scale platforms that have outgrown their architecture, modernize legacy systems without downtime, and add senior engineering capacity to teams under delivery pressure.
Where we help
How we work with Valley teams
- Your process, your tools — we join your stand-ups, repos, CI and review flow rather than working behind a wall
- Squads, not bodies — pods of senior engineers with a lead, onboarded in two weeks with a written playbook
- Fixed-price phases or monthly squads — whichever suits the stage you are at
- Knowledge stays with you — documentation, pairing and a clean handover; convert engineers to permanent hires if you want to
- Three time zones — leadership in San Jose, build teams in the UK and Pakistan, so work moves overnight
Stack
TypeScript/React/Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go and .NET; PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis; Kafka and event-driven architectures; Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform on AWS and Azure; Flutter, Swift and Kotlin for mobile. We are pragmatic about tools and rigorous about testing, security and operability.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can a squad start?
Typically within two to three weeks of a signed statement of work, with a two-week onboarding playbook so the first sprint is productive.
Do you work on equity or deferred terms?
Our engagements are fee-based. We keep phases small so early-stage companies can commit incrementally.
Will our IP be protected?
Yes — NDAs, IP assignment and US contracts as standard, with code living in your repositories from day one.
Can you meet in person?
Yes. We are based in San Jose and meet across the Bay Area by appointment.
