Tessier-Ashpool GmbH, based in Switzerland, provides high-quality software engineering services as well as consulting with a focus on hiring and interviewing.

Founder Maximilian Wolter has over 15 years of experience in software engineering and management, including 10 years in the extremely competitive quantitative finance industry, working for both Jane Street and Hudson River Trading in Asia and Europe. He spent many years in hiring management roles, focusing on interview design, ensuring that his employers were hiring the best talent available.

We provide services on location in Switzerland, and remotely all over Europe, in both English and German.

As a software engineering firm, we can support you all the way from requirements analysis and creating concepts, to prototype development and full system implementation. With years of experience in working with existing, deeply integrated systems, we can also offer support in adapting or replacing existing systems or integrating new components with them. Having worked across a breadth of languages, from C/++ and Python to OCaml, we can adapt to existing environments or suggest the best technology for future developments.

Based on prior professional experience and personal passions, we focus especially on development on Linux, distributed and decentralised systems, privacy and security infrastructure and integration with modern financial markets.

Apart from working directly on your software engineering challenges, Tessier-Ashpool GmbH also supports you in establishing or growing your own in-house software engineering teams. Having worked for years in hiring management positions at some of the most competitive software engineering jobs in the world, Maximilian Wolter brings a wealth of experience in understanding the requirements of a role, selecting the right talent via a rigorous interviewing process and ensuring that any new hires fit well with the company and any existing team. While we are not a talent acquisition agency, we support you in screening the candidates received via such agencies, interviewing them and ensuring you hire only the right talent for your needs.
