Lead engineers, not just measure them.
The Engineering Intelligence Platform for team leads, engineering managers and CTOs. DevInsight is live now — recruiting, QA, assets and time-tracking modules roll out next. One platform, in early access.
The problem
Engineering leadership is the most under-instrumented job in tech.
A team lead with eight engineers makes high-stakes decisions every day — who to coach, who to promote, who's about to leave, where the bottleneck is. The data exists — scattered across GitHub, Jira, Personio, spreadsheets, Slack DMs and a notebook. Nobody connects it. So they wing it. The cost shows up later: in attrition, unfair reviews, missed promotions, and 1-on-1s prepped on the train.
| Signal | Where it lives | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| Code activity | GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps | Manager rarely opens it. No aggregation across people. |
| Ticket throughput | Jira, Asana | Story points lie. Cycle times unread. |
| 1-on-1 history | Notion, OneNote, paper notebook | Lost, unsearchable, never consulted before next 1-on-1. |
| Peer feedback | Annual review tool | Stale, performative, invented the week before. |
| HR data | Personio, SAP, spreadsheets | Walled off. Manager can't connect tenure or comp to behavior. |
| Hardware & software | Excel, IT tickets, SAP | Nobody knows who has what license or laptop. |
Our modules
DevInsight at the core. The operational platform around it.
DevInsight is the hero module and live today. The operational modules around it roll out from early access into general availability.
DevInsight
Manager-grade visibility — engineering, finally observable.
Signals from Git, Jira, Claude Code, 1-on-1 notes and feedback turned into manager-ready insights for individuals, teams and departments.
Test Management
QA visibility for engineering managers.
Test cases, test runs, quality signal — legible to the person who has to answer for the release outcome.
Tech Recruiting
From 'we need to hire' to their first PR.
Full recruiting pipeline with an AI-assisted Job Description Generator, applicant tracking and seamless onboarding.
Asset Management
Hardware, software, licenses — one source of truth.
Every laptop, every license, every cable — and every dollar engineering spends on them.
Time Tracking & Absence
Capture where the time went — without making engineers hate it.
Low-friction capture, absence management, project rollups. Time data linked to projects and billing.
Roadmap & Projects
Quarter-to-year horizon without PPM-tool overhead.
Team roadmaps and company-wide project + budget visibility. Light enough that people actually use it.
How we're different
LinearB and Swarmia measure engineering flow. We help you lead engineers.
Our goal is efficient software development — and we get there through the engineers, not around them. LinearB and Swarmia focus on the numbers — DORA, cycle time, PR velocity. Useful for operations, but blind to the people behind the commits. We focus on how people grow, where they get stuck, who needs support and where to train — and how good leadership turns that into healthier teams, faster delivery and better software. Metrics are an input, not the goal: efficient teams are the outcome, and managers equipped to lead them are how you get there.

What it feels like
Concrete moments where the platform earns its keep.
Walk into your 1-on-1 with the right three questions
Tuesday, 9:55am. Your 1-on-1 with Lina starts in five minutes. Open her DevInsight page. Three suggested topics, ranked: a stalled PR, an open item from last 1-on-1 you both forgot, and a quiet shift in her commit pattern. Done. The 1-on-1 is suddenly worth her time and yours.
Spot the engineer about to leave
Three weeks before someone resigns, signal usually exists: less code, fewer reviews, shorter 1-on-1 notes, withdrawn from retros. DevInsight surfaces the pattern as a gentle manager nudge — framed as 'check in,' not 'intervene.'
Run a fair calibration meeting
Quarterly calibration. You walk in with eight engineers' multi-source profiles — code, reviews, collaboration, growth, peer feedback, 1-on-1 patterns. The room argues from data, not from who shouted loudest at the last all-hands.
Catch the license you're paying for and nobody uses
Quarterly business review. Asset Management rolls up SaaS spend across the engineering org. Three tools jump out — Figma seats on ex-employees, two test platforms doing the same job, an AI subscription nobody touched in 60 days. Five-figure savings reclaimed before lunch.
Why we're building this
We built this because we run engineering teams ourselves.
DeViLink has run distributed engineering teams for years — German leadership, Vietnamese engineers, across cultures and time zones. We tried every tool. None of them did the job a team lead actually has on a Tuesday morning before a 1-on-1. So we built it. If it works for us, it works for you.
Platform + people
We don't just give you the platform. We help you build the team.
DeViLink has spent years building, staffing and training engineering teams — German leadership, Vietnamese engineers, across cultures and time zones. The Engineering Intelligence Platform is the tooling we built to do that well. Use the platform on its own, or bring us in to build, scale and train an efficient engineering team around it.
Build
Recruit and onboard engineers — or stand up a whole department — with our tech-recruiting and team-building experience.
Maintain
Run healthy, observable teams with DevInsight as the daily leadership cockpit — coaching, 1-on-1s and fair evaluation.
Train
Spot skill gaps from real work patterns and grow engineers with targeted coaching and the right training sources.
Built for trust
Your data and your stack, handled with care.
EU-hosted, encrypted, GDPR-compliant.
- All data stored in the EU — Frankfurt, Gravelines, Paris
- Encrypted at rest; secrets non-recoverable
- GDPR-compliant by design
- Scoped access: manager ≠ department head ≠ HR
Connects to the tools you already use.
And we connect your custom systems on request.
The ethical line
Development-focused. Not surveillance.
- Engineers see what's collected about them.
- Insights are framed as growth, not punishment.
- Access is scoped — what a manager sees ≠ what a department head sees ≠ what HR sees.
- Every AI recommendation is explainable. No black-box scores.
- Bias audits are part of the product, not a compliance afterthought.
Roadmap
Where we are, where we're going.
Live
Foundation
DevInsight live in early access, plus the core data model and platform the other modules build on.
Now
Manager Copilot
1-on-1 Copilot, Retro Copilot, Calibration Copilot, Hiring Copilot.
Next
