How We're Organized

Partners

Arillus is managed by partners, each owning one or more functions. Currently, the partners are:

Partner	Function
Anand	Engineering & Technology
Anandu	Product & Design

Functions

Every Arillusian permanently belongs to one function. Your function is your professional home: it owns your career ladder, your appraisal, your growth.

1. Engineering & QA
2. Product & Design

Clusters

As a function grows, related groups are organised into clusters — a mid-level structure that brings together groups working in the same broader area of capability. A Cluster Lead oversees the Group Leads within their cluster, aligns capability direction, and represents the cluster at the function level. Clusters are not present in every function at every stage — they emerge when the number of groups makes coordination harder without an intermediate layer.

Groups

Within each function (and cluster, where one exists), people are organised into smaller groups based on their specialisation — for example, backend, Flutter, or frontend within Engineering. Your group is where you grow in your field, stay current with trends, and are supported in your career. Each group has a Group Lead who acts as your functional manager for appraisals and growth.

See Groups for the full detail on Groups, Clusters, and the respective Lead roles.

Project Teams

A project team is a cross-functional, temporary team assembled to deliver something. It draws people from both functions — engineers, product people, designers, QA — and works together for the life of the project before dissolving.

Project teams are the primary delivery unit of Arillus. Almost all of the actual work happens inside them. But they are not your professional home — your function and group are. When the project ends, you return to your group; the project team ceases to exist.

See How We Run Projects for how project teams are structured and staffed.
