Engineering story
Atolls operates major commerce and deals platforms used by millions of shoppers. HotUKDeals alone attracts approximately 30 million visitors per month, making reliability, responsiveness and safe iteration essential at this level of traffic. Our partnership began with Social Shopping Group (Pepper), now part of Atolls, and has grown into five embedded Onectus engineers working inside established product teams. We contribute across responsive Vue.js interfaces, PHP application services, MySQL-backed workflows, deal submissions, comment systems, personalized discovery, moderation and controlled experiments. Engineering in this environment means handling legacy and modern systems together, respecting production APIs, protecting performance during change and maintaining disciplined testing, CI/CD, release processes and operational continuity. We also recruit, technically evaluate and onboard specialist engineers for the wider engineering organization.
