YLD

About the Company

YLD is a software engineering, data engineering, and product design consultancy, specialising in customer experience and disruptive technologies.

We were among the first adopters of innovative technologies like Node.js, React.js, React Native, Kubernetes, and GraphQL, which are now staples for many businesses. YLD was also an early adopter of Design Systems as a service and founded Design Systems London, a non-profit community focused on design and product.

We leave your teams and tech in a better space by curating bespoke teams of cross-functional experts in software engineering, architecture, DevOps, delivery, design, product and data science to work alongside your teams through close collaboration and, where needed, pair programming or technical training.

We drive rapid iteration towards key business objectives, vision and chosen metrics, creating a long-standing product culture and delivery capability in each piece of work.

We’ve helped companies like DAZN, The Economist, CondeNast, Trainline, NewDay, GoDaddy, and more achieve technical product excellence. As a result, we enable organisations to become their most successful by creating and nurturing a culture that embraces experimentation and learning that lasts beyond the partnership.
