About us
The Codest brings product-building experience to software engineering. We work with your team on the software your business depends on, with clear responsibility for the agreed scope.
Our story
From building advertising products to partnering with engineering teams, our history shapes how we approach software today.
Codest began as part of AdTaily, developing and launching its advertising technology. Building a real product connected engineering decisions with the needs of the business.
AdTaily’s success attracted investment from Agora Group, one of Poland’s major media groups. It became an important chapter in the team’s product-building journey.
The team went on to develop Yieldbird, programmatic advertising and optimisation software used internationally. The product was recognised in a Deloitte technology ranking.
Greg and Jakub, then managers at Codest, completed a management buyout of the Codest business from Agora Group and established The Codest as an independent international software development company.
We bring that experience to product development, staff augmentation and practical AI services. The work starts with the client’s context and clear responsibility for an agreed scope.
Experience building products and engineering teams informs the advice we bring to our clients.

I’ve been impressed that The Codest can deliver high-quality developers within a reasonable amount of time. The Codest communicates well. However, once the developers are integrated into our team, I don’t have to talk to them as much. Our development teams follow sprint methodologies and we have weekly check-ins to discuss progress.

We’d lost months waiting for resource allocation from a large vendor. The Codest assembled a team in weeks and took ownership of our backend refactor immediately. Their engineers were proactive, aligned with our compliance needs, and reduced release time by over 37%. We finally felt like a priority, not a ticket number.

The company is most impressed with THE CODEST team’s motivation throughout the project which the company’s internal staff don’t see often with vendors. The team took it upon themselves to self-educate in their specific areas and the company is happy to work with them.
