An AI-first engineering practice

Building the systems that retailers, banks, and health systems run their business on.

InTheCloud is an AI-first engineering consultancy. We design and ship agentic AI systems, enterprise AI implementation programs, and the senior software engineering behind them — for organizations where downtime, drift, and decisions all cost real money.

Case Study 01

Re-platforming
ecommerce at scale

A large ecommerce company

Unlocked a new marketplace revenue channel and hardened the storefront powering it — without slowing the in-house feature roadmap.

A large ecommerce company had a new third-party marketplace revenue channel ready to launch — but blocked by accumulated technical debt in the high-volume eCommerce platform underneath it. We embedded a senior engineering pod inside their storefront team to clear the path.

The pod ran two tracks in parallel — feature delivery in the client's sprint cadence, and the reliability and performance hardening their in-house team had never had room for.

Order Management System Modernization

Unified fragmented order-status visibility into a single real-time customer view and threaded a new partner-marketplace channel through the OMS backbone — expanding the platform to support third-party orders without disrupting active fulfillment flows.

Customer Data Platform & Event Tracking

Replaced vendor-driven pricing tables with a client-specific unit-economic model that anchored CDP contract negotiations in data — and cleared a migration path off the legacy platform without disrupting existing Adobe-based reporting.

Marketing Operating System (MOS)

Compressed cross-system marketing workflow setup from days of coordination to minutes of declarative definition — and surfaced a build-on-existing alternative to a multi-million-dollar platform migration that preserves the client's existing SAP investment.

Storefront API Hardening & Digital Inventory Platform

Hardened a high-traffic storefront API, delivered taxonomy-driven breadcrumbs against a fixed release window, and turned a one-off pooling audit into a reusable engineering practice adopted across the client's pod structure.

Platform Acceleration for an AI Hiring SaaS

Stood up an internal operations portal, a production-grade authentication system, a cross-browser E2E testing pipeline, and a job-board integration POC inside a single quarter — clearing four roadmap items the in-house team had been unable to land in parallel.

Four practices, one engineering organization.

Most of our work spans more than one discipline. We staff every engagement with an integrated pod of builders — not handoffs between siloed teams.

/ 01

Software Engineering

Product engineering and platform builds for commerce, payments, supply chain, and customer experience systems. Event-driven architectures, API platforms, and developer experience.

Cloud Modernization

Landing zone design, workload migration, FinOps, and multi-cloud governance. We modernize what's worth modernizing — and decommission what isn't — with a clear-eyed business case.

Cloud Security

Zero-trust architecture, identity modernization, CSPM, and incident response. Built for organizations where breach blast-radius is measured in regulatory exposure, not just dollars.

We go deep, not wide.

Our delivery teams specialize by industry. That means builders who already know your regulatory landscape, your data models, and the systems your team is replacing — not generalists learning on your dollar.
