About Dev Major

London based, globally minded.

We are a collective of senior cloud, product, and platform engineers focused on AWS. Each engagement is led by someone who has owned mission-critical software, scaled teams, and navigated investor expectations.

Story

Dev Major started as an internal strike team helping portfolio companies stabilise their AWS spend and launch faster. Word spread, and we began supporting product leaders who needed senior guidance without building a large platform org.

Today we partner with founders, engineering leaders, and CTOs navigating pivotal launches, migrations, or due diligence. We show up as calm operators-designing the guardrails, writing the code, and leaving your team stronger.

Control Room at Battersea Power Station

We call the iconic Battersea Power Station home. Working out of the Control Room keeps us close to London's product, venture, and enterprise ecosystems while giving founders an inspiring space to workshop bold ideas.
