A working overlap with your morning
UK hours give you dependable overlap with the US East Coast morning and afternoon, and a workable window into the West Coast morning for calls, reviews, and quick decisions.
Remote UK consultancy Working with US teams
Senior UK software help, built to work across the Atlantic.
Pickering Technologies is a British software consultancy that partners with US companies remotely. You get direct senior engineering judgement, a genuine timezone overlap with your working day, and clear commercials agreed before anything starts.
Why a UK partner
Distance is not the problem people expect
Plenty of US teams already work with remote engineers. What makes the difference is a real overlap with your day, plain written communication, and one senior person who is accountable for the work rather than a rotating cast.
PickTech helps by
Senior engineering judgement, without the overhead of a US hire.
Timezone overlap
Enough shared hours to move quickly.
Progress while you sleep
The time difference is an asset when it is used deliberately: focused build and review work happens during the UK day, so you often start yours with something to look at.
Written by default
Decisions, trade-offs, and progress are captured in plain English, so nothing depends on being in the same room or the same timezone.
Engagement model
How working together actually works.
Remote-first, senior-led
You work directly with a senior engineer, not a layer of account managers. Fewer handoffs, clearer accountability, and judgement applied where it matters.
Scoped before it starts
Every engagement begins with an agreed scope, rate, and billing arrangement in writing. No surprises once work is under way.
Contract, not payroll
PickTech engages as an independent UK consultancy, so there is no US employment, benefits, or payroll overhead to manage.
Currency and billing
Priced in pounds, explained plainly
We agree the scope, billing currency, and payment milestones in writing before work starts.
- Pricing is agreed for your scope and engagement, with VAT where applicable.
- Billing currency and payment milestones are agreed in writing.
- Billing currency and amounts are agreed in writing before any work begins, so the number you plan around is the number you are invoiced.
- VAT treatment for US-based clients is confirmed as part of scoping, based on where you are and what is being supplied.
