About Middleware
Good engineers start their careers to change the world but end up just WAITING! Waiting for code reviews, waiting for QA, waiting for their managers to give them the next big opportunity.
Middleware unblocks engineering teams from waiting and hence increases their productivity.
We help engineering leaders catch delivery bottlenecks and enable their teams for growth using insights from existing tools like Github, JIRA, Calendar. Imagine a cockpit for engineering leaders to run their entire team instead of them texting - "Hey, let's catch up on a quick call?" to everyone.
Globally, we lose $400Bn every year just attributed to engineering productivity and we want to diminish this loss with Middleware.
We are a team of passionate engineers, who have previously led teams at giants like Uber, Maersk, Shuttl.
Being good engineers ourselves, we have hated waiting and loved building. If you resonate with those likes and dislikes, we should talk!
