develoom

For engineering leaders at 15–100 person engineering teams

Performance reviews shouldn’t rely on memory. The picture already exists.

develoom connects to the tools your engineers already use, giving you and your team a live, honest picture of growth. Year-round, not just at review time.

The problem

Review season is already too late.

"I've never found an easy solution that gives me a continuous picture of how my engineers are actually doing. I want it badly enough I'm considering building it my damn self."

Managers run performance reviews from memory, scattered notes, and gut feel. By the time they sit down to write them, the full story is gone.

Good engineers get underpromoted because nobody documented the impact. Struggling engineers stay struggling because nobody caught it early enough to help.

The tools that exist today don't solve this. Engineering analytics point everything at leadership dashboards. HR platforms have no idea what a pull request is.

develoom gives you that picture automatically, all year round.

Signal from the field

20+ conversations. One pattern.

Good managers want to enable underperforming engineers, not remove them. The problem is they don't have the data to do that in real time.

VP Engineering · B2B SaaS · Series B

We built a DIY version using Google Docs and Claude Code. The fact that someone is building a proper product for it says everything.

Engineering Lead · Scale-stage company

Every engineer I know has been blindsided at a review at least once. It shouldn't be possible with the data that already exists.

Engineering Manager · Series A SaaS

How it works

Know how every engineer is growing. All year round.

01

Connect in minutes

GitHub OAuth, Jira, and Slack. No agents, no manual input, no data entry. Develoom surfaces what your engineers are already producing.

02

Map to your career framework

develoom understands your career levels and maps every PR, ticket, and Slack thread to the behaviours that actually matter for performance and promotion at your company. No manual tagging, no spreadsheets.

03

Two views. One truth.

Engineers see how they're growing and what to focus on next. You see the whole team: who's delivering, who's stuck, who's ready to level up. No more scrambling for evidence at review time. No more surprises in either direction.

Get in touch

Let's build this with you.

We're not looking for beta testers. We're looking for one or two engineering teams who want to shape what this becomes. Free access, direct line to the roadmap, and a product that gets built around your actual workflow.

Data & Security

Your data stays yours.

Here's exactly how we handle your engineers' data. No small print.

Read-only access

Develoom reads signals. It does not write anything back to your tools. No side effects, ever.

Permissions

We respect your existing access controls. If a manager can't see it in your tools, they won't see it in develoom.

No raw data storage

Activity is processed and summarised. We don't retain your engineers' raw commits, messages, or tickets long-term.

Zero training

Your data is never used to train any AI model. Not ours, not anyone else's.

Delete anytime

Disconnect at any time. Your data is deleted within 24 hours. No questions asked.

Privacy by design

Privacy isn't an afterthought. We collect only what's needed, nothing more.
