Engineering lab

Engineering at every layer. Proven at every scale.

From embedded firmware in the world's most iconic vehicles to platforms serving over 100 million users a month. We don't take every project — we take the right ones.

What we are

A lab, not an agency.

Herzelab is a collective of senior engineers with an unusual combination of depth and range. Our work spans embedded systems and firmware, high-throughput distributed backends, consumer-facing web platforms, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise software. We operate across industries that demand precision — automotive, fintech, entertainment, e-commerce, telecom, and enterprise.

Embedded systems for the company that invented the automobile. Real-time architecture for one of the world's most visited interactive platforms. E-commerce engineering for Europe's leading audio brand. Three industries. Three definitions of scale. One lab.

Capability

From silicon to screen.

Five engineering layers under one roof. We engineer the whole stack — not just the parts that are convenient.

  1. 01

    Embedded & firmware

    Automotive-grade systems, real-time OS, hardware interfaces. Safety-critical software that lives in vehicles for a decade.

  2. 02

    Backend & distributed systems

    High-throughput APIs, event-driven architecture, real-time data. Built for peak-load moments when failure is not an option.

  3. 03

    Web & mobile frontends

    High-traffic consumer interfaces, live systems, interactive platforms. Performance engineered in, not retrofitted.

  4. 04

    Cloud & infrastructure

    Zero-downtime deployments, carrier-grade reliability, scalable infra across AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform.

  5. 05

    ERP & enterprise systems

    Custom ERP, business-critical integrations, complex domain modelling. Quietly running behind recognised brands.

Selected work

Where we've been useful.

Three industries we can name. The wider portfolio lives elsewhere — behind sectors, not logos.

Automotive

Mercedes-Benz / Daimler AG

Embedded systems and firmware engineering for one of the world's defining vehicle manufacturers. Safety-critical software that lives inside production vehicles for a decade.

Media & entertainment

Chess.com

Platform engineering for an interactive platform serving over 100 million monthly users. Real-time architecture, live game systems, peak-load resilience.

E-commerce

Teufel Audio

E-commerce platform engineering for Europe's leading consumer-audio brand. Built for scale, performance, and a brand that lives or dies on the buying experience.

Held quietly

Fintech, telecom, ERP

Mission-critical systems across fintech, telecom, and ERP. The names live elsewhere; the engineering doesn't.

Industries

Built for precision-critical sectors.

Industries where failure has consequences. Where engineering judgement matters as much as execution.

  • Automotive

    Embedded systems and firmware for vehicles that set the standard. Safety-critical, regulation-aware, built to last decades.

  • Entertainment

    Live event platforms, stadium and venue interfaces, online gaming. Engineered for peak-load moments when failure is not an option.

  • E-commerce

    Consumer platforms at global volume. Performance and conversion engineered in from day one, not retrofitted later.

  • Fintech & banking

    Trading infrastructure and banking systems where latency and correctness are non-negotiable.

  • Telecom

    Network-layer software and carrier-grade platforms built for continuous uptime.

  • Enterprise

    Custom ERP and business-critical systems. Complex requirements, clean delivery, long-term reliability.

The right projects find the right team.

If you're building something where the cost of getting it wrong is real, we should talk.
