Engineers who care about outcomes, not just code
We're a focused team of cloud, AI, and software engineers. We've built infrastructure at Stripe, AWS, and two unicorns — and now we bring that experience to ambitious companies who want to move fast without breaking things.
We exist to make great products possible
The best product teams in the world shouldn't be blocked by infrastructure. But building reliable, secure, scalable cloud systems is genuinely hard — and it's not where most product engineers want to spend their time.
Vastome exists to solve that. We embed alongside your team, build the systems that let you ship faster, and leave you with documentation and practices you can operate independently.
We're not consultants who produce slide decks. We're engineers who write Terraform, review pull requests, and carry a pager when things are on fire.
Our values
Engineers first
We hire exceptional engineers and give them time to do their best work. No account managers, no middle layers — you work directly with the people building.
Pragmatic over perfect
Good architecture is invisible. We choose the right tool for the job, not the most impressive-sounding one. Boring technology, reliably operated.
Outcomes, not outputs
We measure our success by business results: uptime, cost reduction, shipping velocity. Code is a means to an end.
Radically transparent
We document decisions, explain tradeoffs, and tell you when we disagree with your approach. No surprises.
