Lightci (Light Consulting)

Light Consulting (Lightci) started in 2022. We help businesses of all sizes, including high-growth companies, design, build, and launch software. We also help them digitally transform, leverage data, and create engineering functions.

We work closely with operating teams to bring new products to market, modernize platforms, and accelerate engineering roadmaps. We take full ownership of delivery, from design through deployment.

Our work spans various industries: fintech, edtech, healthtech, and SaaS. Our clients include global leaders like Google, Apple, Coinbase, Brex, Walmart, Fidelity, and Canada Life. We also work with portfolio companies backed by investment firms such as Sequoia and Tiger Global.

Our core capabilities include end-to-end product design and development, AI and LLM-integrated engineering, platform and infrastructure modernization, and post-acquisition product execution. We specialize in modern software architecture and AI-native applications, from ML infrastructure to LLM-powered tools that drive scale and efficiency.

Our services include:

• Talent Recruitment: We find currently employed senior engineers with verifiable track records, aiming to fill positions in an average of 10 days at a rate typically 20-25% cheaper than most internal hires. Our process involves identifying required skill sets, providing vetted candidates who have passed behavioral and technical interviews, and offering an Employer of Record service.
• Product Builds: We develop web and mobile products. This allows clients to avoid hiring full teams and to scale resources flexibly. Our process involves defining requirements, in-house team execution and management, and ongoing maintenance.
• Vendor Solution Implementation: We support clients with channel implementation, providing expertise for accurate job completion. This enables clients to focus on core priorities. Our process includes determining use cases, aligning on approach, and offering ongoing maintenance, support, and training.

We’ve placed 161 elite engineers with an average of 9.5 days to an offer and achieved 97% talent retention. We’ve also built 7 quality products.

We build with intent, focusing on speed, precision, and creating long-term value. We aim to demystify technology and are committed to client success with our highly specialized approach. Our team of tech veterans prioritizes domain expertise. We also focus on building long-term relationships with both our talent network and clients.

We have 51-200 employees. Our team consists of tech veterans and domain experts who operate under the philosophy of being ‘by engineers, for everyone.’ Our culture emphasizes a deep care for client success and a focus on specialized execution.
