# Option Q

> Option Q is a Portuguese software house based in Porto, Portugal, with two practices — Platform & SRE, and Product & Software Development — serving teams in the EU, UK and US.

Innovation, entrepreneurship, and products that are easy to use, affordable, and sustainable over time — applied to your platform, your product, your team.

Option Q is a software house. We do two things: Platform & SRE, and Product & Software.

## What we do

- **Platform, SRE & DevOps-as-a-Service** — The boring parts of running software, done right, so your team can focus on the product. [Read more](https://optionq.pt/services/#ops)
- **Product & Software Development** — Senior teams that embed with you and ship. Define → Design → Build → Launch → Iterate. Local scope, world-class execution. [Read more](https://optionq.pt/services/#dev)

## Specific, not synergistic.

- **Senior by default.** — Staff and Principal-level engineering on every engagement. No junior-heavy pyramids.
- **Based in Porto, Portugal. EU, UK and US reach.** — Portugal time zone, comfortable across the rest.
- **Specific, not synergistic.** — We name the tools, the trade-offs, and the timeline.
- **Sustainable software.** — Code your team can still read in two years. Infra your CFO can still afford.
- **AI-fluent, not AI-drunk.** — We use models where they pay for themselves and refuse where they don't.

## Teams that take software seriously.

We work with companies that need a team for the product, the platform, or both. SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, regulated industries — and the quieter domains nobody puts on a pitch deck. Founders shipping their first MVP. Teams rescuing brownfield. Operators outgrowing their setup: cloud or on-prem.
