Short on
seniors.
For engineering leads who have to answer for code nobody on the team wrote, or for a roadmap the headcount cannot reach. Everything here is priced before it starts.
Which one is you.
Three ways engineering leads usually arrive here.
You inherited it
A codebase came with the job. The people who wrote it did not, and the next board meeting wants a number on what it will take.
The agency left
The product is live, the invoices stopped, and nobody on your side has opened the deploy pipeline. How we got a live health app nobody could deploy shipping again.
The roadmap outgrew the team
Hiring takes a quarter you do not have, and a contractor means one more person to manage.
Two ways in.
Start by looking, or start by adding a senior pair of hands. Most people arriving here with something inherited start with the first.
Codebase audit
Fixed price, one to two weeksYou give us read access. What comes back is written to be forwarded as it is, to the board or to whoever has to sign off on the number, with no translation layer in between.
What you get- A written report and a plan in priority order
- A rough size on every item in the plan
- One call to walk through it
The plan is yours, whoever runs it.
Embedded engineer
MonthlyOne senior engineer inside your team, with the rest of the studio behind them for design, infrastructure or anything else outside their lane.
What you get- You meet the engineer before you sign
- In your standups, your tracker and your repo
- Monthly, and the same name all the way through
Nothing to move when it ends. It was all in your accounts.
An audit, week by week.
You tell us what you need to know about the system, and by when. If you need an NDA first, we sign one.
Repositories, infrastructure and logs. An hour with whoever knows the system best, if there is anyone left who does.
We read before we talk: the architecture, the deploy path, the tests that exist and the ones that do not, what is on fire and what only looks like it.
The report lands, with the plan in priority order. Then you decide who runs it: your team, another studio, or us on a fixed quote or a cap.
We read the code before we quote the work.
Thirty minutes on what you are holding.
No deck and no pitch. Tell us what you inherited or what the roadmap needs, and we will say whether an audit or an engineer is the right first move, or neither.
