For startups after the MVP, and founders without a senior engineer
A senior engineering team on call, without hiring one.
Architecture calls, features, fixes, reviews, infrastructure and AI work. We plan with you weekly, work during US Eastern business hours, and send a weekly written update of what shipped and the hours used.
What you get
- 01Architecture, code, reviews, infrastructure: whatever moves the product
- 02Weekly planning with you; async through Slack, Linear or GitHub
- 03Weekly written update: what shipped, what's next, hours used
- 04Monthly roadmap call
Right for
- Startups past the MVP without a senior engineer
- Non-technical founders who need a technical partner they can trust
- Teams who need senior judgement a few days a month, not a full-time hire
Not right for
- Full-time staff augmentation at the lowest hourly rate
How it runs
From kickoff to handoff.
Call
30 minutes on your product, team and priorities.
Week 1
Access, a codebase review and the first shipped improvement.
Weekly
Shipped work and a written update.
Monthly
Roadmap call; adjust the tier up or down.
Guarantee
First week not worth it? First month refunded.
If the first week doesn't feel worth it, cancel and we refund the first month in full. After that, cancel anytime and it ends with the paid month.
What happens to unused hours?
Up to 20% of your included hours roll over into the next month only; the rest expire. Hours we couldn't deliver on our side roll over in full. If you keep having unused hours, we'll suggest the smaller plan.
Is this an on-call or 24/7 service?
The retainer covers US Eastern business hours. If you need on-call cover, tell us and we'll quote it separately.
Can we switch plans or cancel?
Yes. Switch between Retainer 30 and 50 from the next month, or cancel effective at the end of the paid month, yourself in the client billing portal (linked in the footer), or by emailing us. The portal also has your invoices and payment method.
Who owns the work?
You do, once it's paid for. Everything lives in your repository from the first commit, and nothing is locked to us.
