What is Research Engineering?

Research engineering is such a new and dynamic field that if you ask a dozen research engineers what they do, you’ll get a dozen wildly different answers. At The Dev Effect, we consider ourselves dual citizens of the realms of research and engineering. We use our expertise in the philosophy and process of research to devise tools and strategies that allow researchers to do their best work.


How We Can Help

AMPLIFYING RESEARCHERS

Having worked with world-class researchers in biochemistry, neuroscience, and other fields, we understand the hurdles that can preoccupy scientists and hinder project progress. Scientists’ needs often misalign with the approaches taken by software engineers, who often lack the cross-disciplinary insight required to offer optimal solutions to scientific problems. Bridging this gap is at the heart of what we do. We collaborate with scientists to identify their workflow, hardware, and software bottlenecks, then devise technical solutions and best practices that optimize your research and development processes.

BUILDING TECHNOLOGY

Massive scale, singular focus. We are world-class technologists who have built software for a global user base in the billions, but we still know what’s important for research at any scope. From C++ to CUDA to Python and PyTorch, we have top-to-bottom experience working the research stack. We use that expertise to help you determine the support that you need, then deliver the purpose-built, cutting-edge research infrastructure that is right for your team.

STRATEGIC ADVISING

Be future ready. Our experience working within and alongside organizations of all sizes allows us to provide the right support and guidance to keep your team on the path to meeting its goals. Enhance your current research development processes by having us educate your researchers and engineers on how best to use the tools at their disposal, or invite us to provide staffing guidance as you set out to build the research engineering team of your dreams.
