N1 IT Landscape — People & organization
Section titled “N1 IT Landscape — People & organization”CURRENT-STATE as of 2026-06-09 · part of the N1 IT Landscape (start at Overview). Owner: Arun Venkataraman (Principal Engineer).
Who N1 is — the team, where they work, the Deriv relationship, and who can touch production.
1. ORGANIZATION & PEOPLE
Section titled “1. ORGANIZATION & PEOPLE”N1 Research, LLC (n1.healthcare) is a small, hybrid company. GitHub shows 22 people on the org (Team plan, 25 seats, 22 filled, 2FA enforced for all).
1.1 Where people are and how they work
Section titled “1.1 Where people are and how they work”| Group | Location | How they work |
|---|---|---|
| Onsite team | Malaysia office (Cyberjaya) | Every onsite person is issued a company MacBook Pro (14-inch, M5 Pro; previous-gen for longer-tenured staff — see §2). Arun (N1’s Principal Engineer) instead runs a Deriv-provided Alienware on Kubuntu (Ubuntu + KDE). |
| Remote contract engineers | Mostly India | Mostly use their own personal laptops ; tracked with Hubstaff. |
| Coen | Primarily Netherlands , travels and stays in S.E. Asia a lot | Remote |
| Leah | Portugal | Remote |
- Company-provided MacBook Pros for remote staff: only 2. Everyone else remote is on a personal laptop. Onsite staff are all on company MacBook Pros.
- Remote contractor work hours are tracked via Hubstaff.
1.2 The Deriv relationship (important context)
Section titled “1.2 The Deriv relationship (important context)”N1’s office is colocated with Deriv , the founder’s other company. Arun joined the founder from Deriv to build N1; today he works primarily at N1 but still weighs in on Deriv’s engineering when needed. Practically, this means N1’s office network — and Arun’s laptop — are provided by Deriv’s IT setup (see §2 and §3). N1 is operationally its own company (its own Google Workspace, AWS, GitHub, SaaS) but shares physical space and the office LAN/Wi-Fi with Deriv.
1.3 Who can touch production
Section titled “1.3 Who can touch production”🔒 Production access is restricted:
- Production deployments: only Arun, Darpan, Jasper.
- Production AWS access: only Arun, Eyad, Darpan.
- Production Admin Dashboard (Cloudflare Access allowlist of 7 named emails): arun, leah, siewmei, neshalini, jasper, jy, darpan.bafana.
- Who writes code by hand: development is overwhelmingly done with Claude Code — “nobody writes code” by default. Only Eyad and Arun occasionally hand-write code, usually when typing it directly is faster than prompting.
