Where we go deep

Two domains we know better than anyone.

General-purpose engineering is the baseline. These are the sectors where we bring the playbook, the platform patterns and the scar tissue.

Powering the gig economy

Platforms that match, pay and keep thousands of workers moving.

We build and run the marketplaces behind on-demand work: the matching engines, shift and job dispatch, real-time availability, worker onboarding and the payment rails that settle accurately every week. Two-sided, high-volume, and unforgiving of downtime — because every outage is someone's income.

Two-sided marketplaces: supply, demand and the matching logic between them
Real-time dispatch, availability and geolocation at scale
Worker onboarding, identity and right-to-work flows built in
Payout, invoicing and self-billing pipelines that reconcile to the penny
Rating, dispute and compliance tooling that survives regulatory scrutiny

Specialists in ML credentialing

Verifying who someone is, and what they're qualified to do, in seconds.

Credentialing is the bottleneck in every regulated workforce. We apply machine learning to the document-heavy, rules-heavy work of verifying identity, qualifications, licences and background checks — turning days of manual review into a decision in seconds, with a human in the loop where it matters and a full audit trail behind every outcome.

Document classification and extraction across passports, licences, certificates and DBS checks
Automated verification against issuing bodies and registers
Expiry tracking, renewal workflows and continuous compliance monitoring
Human-in-the-loop review for edge cases, with confidence scoring on every decision
Explainable outcomes and an audit trail built for regulators and insurers

In their words

Founders, CTOs, and contractors agree.

"Red-Shift were an exceptional partner — thoughtful, fast-moving, and always open to ideas. We'd be happy to collaborate again anytime."

Ed Hill

CEO, Fiddlie

"They translated ambiguity into concrete Lego-block deliverables — sized, sequenced, validated and pressure-tested. For the first time, everyone had a shared understanding."

Samuel Day

CEO, Sayvr

"Seamless. They grasped the requirements quickly and delivered exactly what was needed. High-quality, responsive, and easy to work with."

James Fryer
