Codepole

Codepole is a software development company with offices in Stockholm and Warsaw that builds backends, web, mobile, and DevOps infrastructure primarily for fintech and healthcare startups. The company operates a nearshore model: it hires engineers directly, embeds them in its own offices, and sells them as dedicated teams to clients who need capacity or specific expertise. The founders—Philip Kornmann, Marek Pietrzak, and Mariusz Pietrzak—position the outfit as a turnkey way to stand up an offshore engineering center without the hiring friction. The team spans Poland and Sweden; the source lists 20+ named staff across product managers, developers (JavaScript, Java, Android), and delivery leads.

Services and capabilities

Codepole's service catalog sits at three levels: IT team extension (staff aug), end-to-end product development, and senior-level consulting. For team extension, clients get developers working from Codepole's offices but considered employees of the client. For product builds, Codepole runs the full cycle—discovery, MVP, deployment. The consulting angle targets clients who need short-term help from experienced product owners, product managers, or senior engineers.

On the technical side, the company works across Java, JavaScript, .NET, C++, Android, iOS, hybrid frameworks, and backend systems. It has named expertise in distributed systems, Big Data, machine learning, data analytics, and blockchain. DevOps work includes cloud migration and infrastructure expansion. The source doesn't detail specific cloud providers or managed services, though the fintech and gaming clients suggest AWS and similar platforms are in use.

Notable work

Codepole's client roster skews heavily fintech and gaming, with scattered healthcare and SaaS projects. Named fintech clients include Kompar (SME financing marketplace operating across Sweden, Netherlands, and Finland; Codepole helped the platform "rapidly scale its existing Swedish business and expand to new markets"), Instapay (payment and revenue management platform), Creddo (business financing marketplace), Advanon (Swiss factoring provider where Codepole "developed multiple versions on their credit models"), OKQ8 (card issuing and payments), Berglinde (Bitcoin investment solutions), Glatty (charitable giving), and Yourasset (luxury fintech).

Gaming projects span Svenska Spel (cloud and platform modernization for iGaming), Kindred Group (sports betting and casino operator), and payment implementations across gaming platforms. Healthcare includes Baby Journey (pregnancy and parenting app), Docjo (chronic disease patient-doctor connection), and Cepheid (molecular diagnostics). Infrastructure work includes a pan-European open-banking platform (serving banks, fintechs, startups alongside PayPal and Lydia) and Discoeat/DIDIT (restaurant ordering and payments, billed as "Shopify for restaurants"). Codepole also handled product management for Warner Bros' global streaming platform (scaling for new markets and live events) and the COOP app (online-to-in-store integration). The source provides no concrete project timelines, budgets, or measurable outcomes beyond Kompar's reference to market expansion.

How they work

Codepole positions teams as permanent fixtures within clients' operations. Engineers are hired by Codepole but work from its Stockholm or Warsaw offices as if they were the client's own employees. Clients get visibility into progress via shared tracking tools and regular status updates from assigned consultants. The source emphasizes that consultants rotate through projects internally to build broad experience before assignment. Engagement can be ongoing (dedicated team) or fixed-term (consulting). No pricing is disclosed. The FAQ notes that clients have "full access to the tools that are tracking the progress of their projects," suggesting transparent project management infrastructure, though specific tools are not named.

Team and credentials

Codepole lists three named partners (Kornmann, Pietrzak brothers) and a visible team of 20+ across Stockholm and Warsaw. Staff include product managers, JavaScript and Java developers, Android engineers, and project/delivery leads. The source cites a 5.0 Clutch rating but does not provide review count. No certifications (ISO, SOC 2, HIPAA), partner statuses (AWS, Google, Shopify), or formal languages spoken are mentioned. The company emphasizes an internal rotation policy to ensure consultant depth across different project types, though no formal vetting or training program details are given.
