In-house feel, nearshore
No-Code Developers
Some products should not be written in code yet, and it takes discipline to admit it. We embed no-code developers fluent in Webflow, Bubble, Airtable and Make who can put a working product, portal or internal tool in front of British users in weeks, at 50 to 75% less than hiring the equivalent talent in the UK.
- Deep in Webflow, Bubble, Airtable, Zapier and Make
- MVPs, CRMs, dashboards and internal workflows delivered fast
- Working with your ops and product people, not around them

Our Service
Builders who know where no-code stops making sense
The honest trade-off with no-code is a ceiling, and a good no-code developer knows exactly where it is for each platform. Ours are vetted for that judgement, will design around the ceiling where possible, and will tell you plainly when the next feature belongs in real code. When that day comes, we can supply the engineers too.
- Vetted for platform fluency and product thinking together
- Plugged into your founding, ops or design team directly
- Rapid timelines on rolling monthly terms, 30 days notice
Fast, Functional, Flexible
Builders who keep one eye on what the tool becomes next
- Web AppsLaunch beautiful, responsive front-ends with Webflow, Softr, or Glide.
- Logic & DatabasesBuild workflows, logic and backend layers using Airtable, Xano, or backend-as-a-service tools.

- AutomationAutomate tasks and connect services with Make, Zapier, or n8n.

- MVP & Prototype BuildsGet to market fast with functional MVPs ready for user feedback or investment.
- Internal ToolsCreate CRMs, dashboards, forms, or portals for your ops or support teams.

Vetting
You see two people - not 200 CVs.
Engineers vet engineers
A senior engineer runs a live technical conversation on the candidate's real stack, not a recruiter working from a keyword list.
Live coding, not take-homes
Real problems solved in front of an assessor, with anti-cheating checks. You see how they actually work, not what they submitted overnight.
A full profile, not a CV
Every candidate arrives with a CV, interview summary, coding-test breakdown and rate in pounds. You decide on evidence.
Every tab is a stage a candidate has to clear. Six of them, all run by our own internal engineers at Cloud Employee, before you see a name.

"Walked me through an assistant that was quietly hallucinating refund policy, how he caught it in evals, and what he got wrong on the first fix. Hire-ready for a senior seat."

The point of no-code is low-risk momentum, so the engagement matches it. One monthly fee, no placement charge, a two-week money-back guarantee and a free replacement if the fit is wrong. Our builders are full-time employees rather than gig workers, so the person who built your tool is still around when it needs to grow.
- Product-minded builders with startup mileage
- Supported by our HR, retention and success teams
- Scale the engagement up or down as the product proves itself

Got questions?
The questions CTOs and founders ask.
Yes. Most of our clients are in the UK, the US and Australia. Your developer works your hours, and a UK-based client success manager is your point of contact throughout.
Cloud Employee is the employer of record, so your developer is our full-time employee rather than a contractor you engage directly. We handle their payroll, benefits and HR in their own country.
Typically 50-75% less than a comparable UK hire once salary, employer costs and overheads are counted. Rates run from roughly £28 to £63 an hour ($35-80, depending on seniority), billed as one monthly fee with no placement charges.
Vetting is CTO-led and covers a technical assessment, a live pair programming session and cultural fit screening, all run by senior engineers rather than recruiters. You interview a shortlist of two matched candidates.
You are typically interviewing matched candidates within 7 working days of a requirements call, and developers are often embedded and pushing code within about two weeks.
There is a two-week money-back guarantee, and if you want to continue we replace the developer free of charge.
Your developer's working hours are aligned to yours, so stand-ups and pairing happen through the UK day, and we keep cover available outside standard hours for anything critical.
There are no placement fees and you pay nothing to interview. Vetting is run by our in-house CTO with peer review from senior engineers, and after the hire we stay responsible for HR, payroll and retention rather than disappearing once the invoice clears.
Yes, always. Your developer sits in your Slack, email and daily channels as a full member of your team, and can even list your company on their LinkedIn if you prefer.
Yes, clients are welcome at our offices, which are set up for exactly that. Hire four or more developers and we cover the flights and accommodation for a visit.
You'll receive a launch-ready product, fully tested, deployed, and handed over with clean documentation, source code, and a clear path for scaling or ongoing support.
Both work. Bring your own designs, or let our in-house designers handle UX and UI as part of the build.
We can audit your existing work and build on top of it, or help you start fresh if it's faster, safer, or more scalable.
Nope. We handle day-to-day project management, progress tracking, and delivery, you just stay in the loop and make key decisions.
That depends on the scope. We'll define timelines during the scoping phase and keep delivery lean and milestone-driven.
We can support post-launch updates, bug fixes, and new features, or help you build your own embedded team to take it forward.
Yes. We deliver full-stack products, front end, back end, mobile apps, and APIs, designed to work together from day one.
Yes. It's your IP. You'll receive full access to the codebase, repos, and all project documentation.
We offer both fixed-price and flexible engagement models, depending on the scope, complexity, and timeline.
We scope tightly up front but remain flexible. If priorities shift, we can adjust your roadmap or re-scope milestones without derailing delivery.
We offer strategic product and technical consulting, scoping features, planning roadmaps, validating AI use cases, and advising on build decisions.
This isn't just discovery fluff. Our consultants are CTOs, engineers and PMs who know how to ship. You'll leave with actionable output, not just slides.
Not at all. We'll help shape your ideas into something buildable, whether it's an MVP, a prototype, or a feature release plan.
Yes. We recommend tech based on your product needs, not on what we happen to know. Stack-agnostic, outcome-first guidance.
No. Our scoping and consulting services are standalone. You can take the plan elsewhere, or build with us when you're ready.
Not at all. We work with both technical founders and non-technical leaders. We translate ideas into build-ready outcomes, no jargon required.
Absolutely. We'll help define the leanest version of your product that delivers real user value, fast and buildable.
Yes. We help teams assess AI feasibility, recommend models, and shape realistic delivery plans, without the buzzword noise.
Yes. You can start with a focused engagement to explore ideas or validate direction. No long-term commitment required.
You are typically interviewing matched candidates within 7 working days of a requirements call, and developers are often embedded and pushing code within about two weeks. From there it is a rolling monthly contract with 30 days' notice, one monthly fee, and no placement charges. You can scale up or down as the work changes, and you pay nothing to interview.
