Capabilitiesengineered asone system.

Thirty-two capabilities, organised into six practices and delivered by integrated pods under one architecture authority, one security baseline and one delivery telemetry, so strategy, systems and growth never fragment across vendors.

01Practices

Depth at every layerof the enterprise stack.

Each practice is led by principal architects and staffed by specialists working to shared engineering standards. Select any capability to open its technical brief.

AI & Data Engineering · Practice 01

Agentic systems, retrieval and decision science, engineered for production.

We build AI systems as software systems: typed interfaces, evaluation gates, observability and explicit cost models, integrated with the data platforms that feed them and the core systems they act upon.

Software & Platform Engineering · Practice 02

Domain-driven platforms, from architecture decision records to production.

Custom software, ERP and CRM, web, mobile and commerce systems, decomposed into bounded contexts on event-driven, cloud-native architectures that scale with the business rather than against it.

Cloud, Infrastructure & Cyber Defence · Practice 03

Resilient by architecture. Secure by default.

Cloud foundations, platform engineering, reliability and cyber defence engineered as one discipline, because availability, cost and security are properties of the same architecture, not separate projects.

Discuss cloud & security
Growth Engineering · Practice 04

Acquisition, engineered as a data system. Online and offline.

Performance media, search, content, creators and above-the-line media governed by one measurement architecture: first-party data, incrementality testing and marketing-mix modelling tied to contribution margin.

Experience Design & Studio · Practice 05

Design systems that scale from token to broadcast.

Brand, product and packaging design, campaign systems and film production, operated by an in-house studio and governed by design tokens, user research and measurable conversion.

Academy · Practice 06

Capability transfer, measured in production outcomes.

Programmes that build durable internal capability in AI, data, cloud, cyber security and digital growth for engineers, managers and boards, delivered by the practitioners who build these systems.

The Wreck of a Transport Ship by J. M. W. Turner: a storm at sea, with a sailing vessel and a crowded lifeboat among towering waves.
The Wreck of a Transport Ship · J. M. W. Turner, c. 1810
Resilience · Security · Recovery

Systems are judged in the storm,not in the demo.

Turner painted the moment a voyage meets its limits. Every Magicwork practice designs for that moment first: failure modes, threat models and recovery paths are specified before a line of production code is written.

02Engagement models

Commercial structuresaligned to accountability.

We structure every engagement around the risk profile of the outcome, from time-boxed diagnostics to SLO-backed managed services, with transparent commercials and a single accountable delivery lead.

01 · 2 to 6 weeks

Advisory & diagnostics

Architecture reviews, AI opportunity assessments, cloud and security audits and growth diagnostics, concluding in a sequenced, costed roadmap with a business case per initiative.

02 · Fixed scope

Outcome-based programmes

Milestone-priced delivery of a defined outcome, such as a platform release, a migration wave or a model in production, with acceptance criteria and governance agreed before mobilisation.

03 · Capacity

Dedicated engineering pods

Cross-functional pods embedded in your roadmap and scaled by throughput, governed by shared OKRs, DORA metrics and transparent sprint reporting.

04 · Run

Managed services

SLO-backed operation of platforms, cloud estates, security monitoring and growth programmes, with monthly service reviews and a continuous-improvement backlog.

03Technology estate

Technology-agnostic.Standards-obsessed.

We select technology on fitness for purpose, total cost of ownership and exit cost, and engineer every stack to the same standards for security, observability and maintainability.
