Who we are

Floads is a boutique platform engineering company based in Switzerland.

We are a team of senior platform engineers with 25+ combined years building and operating production systems at scale.

We keep our team small and senior-only. No account managers, no juniors, no recruiters. When you work with Floads, you work directly with us.

What we do

We work with teams whose production platforms have become hard to operate. Too many tools added over time. Reliability problems that repeat. On-call that’s burning the team out.

We stabilize, simplify, and improve operability. Not by adding more — but by removing what doesn’t belong and making what remains understandable.

How we work

We work in short, focused engagements. A clear scope. A defined outcome. No endless retainers.

You know what you’re getting before we start, and you see results within weeks.

What we don’t do

• Body leasing or staff augmentation
• Junior staffing or outsourcing
• Generic DevOps consulting
• Tool-of-the-month recommendations

Our experience

Between us, we’ve:

• Run Kubernetes clusters at massive scale
• Designed and operated databases handling billions of daily transactions
• Built failover and disaster recovery systems that survived real incidents
• Optimized cloud infrastructure costs by 30-50%
• Led platform migrations from legacy to modern infrastructure
• Managed firewalls, storage clusters, and CI/CD pipelines at fintech scale
