Infrastructure and engineering
We fix the parts of your stack nobody wants to own.
North Pine Work handles infrastructure, backend systems and security review for teams whose product already works, but whose foundation is starting to creak.
What we do
Three disciplines. One team, start to finish.
No handoff between departments. The person who scopes your project is still the one on call for it a year later.
Infrastructure and reliability
Architecture, deployment pipelines, observability. We build for the system's worst day, not its demo day.
Security review
Focused on the paths an attacker would actually take. No 200-item checklist billed by the hour.
Backend engineering
APIs, data models and services sized for the load you actually have, not the load a template assumes.
Process and operations
Incident response, on-call rotation and release practices sized to your actual team, not a template built for 200 engineers.
How we work
Two weeks before any commitment.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-scope assessment. You get a written report either way, even if the honest recommendation is to leave the system alone.

We map the system and the failure modes that actually matter.
Plan
A written scope with priorities and tradeoffs stated plainly.
Build and hand off
We implement alongside your team, then document it so they can own it.
