ITQuarks

ITQuarks builds AI-first managed R&D pods that ship products, not status decks.

Since 2016, we've embedded senior engineering pods alongside 50+ teams across the US, UK, and EU. Clients have collectively raised €100M+ and we've contributed to 15+ patented innovations across fintech, healthtech, automotive, and SaaS.

The pod model Each pod is a self-contained delivery unit — Engineering Lead + senior engineers — with weekly demos, written sprint updates, and a clear definition of done. You don't manage timesheets; you accept demos. We're not a staffing company.

Capabilities • LLM & GenAI: fine-tuning (SFT), embeddings, RAG, agentic workflows, evaluation & guardrails • Computer Vision: detection, segmentation, OCR, Document AI, edge + cloud • Classical ML: forecasting, anomaly detection, ranking, optimization • Full-Stack AI: web apps, APIs, dashboards, integrations, data services • Cloud & DevOps: AWS / Azure / GCP, IaC, CI/CD, observability, 24/7 support

For US startups CET hours give 3–4 hours of clean overlap with US ET morning, then your pod ships overnight while you sleep. Senior European engineering at a fraction of US bench rates. Start in 4 weeks. Scale capacity with 2 weeks notice.

Compliance & IP GDPR-aligned by default. EU data residency available on request. Work-for-hire IP assignment standard — you own all code, models, training data, and documentation. NDAs and DPAs signed before access.
