Three ways to hire us.
One bar for the work.

Every engagement gets the same senior team, the same shipping cadence, and the same honesty about what is — and is not — possible in the time you have.

01AI-native

Timeline

4–12 weeks

Starts at

From a scoped 4-week sprint

AI-native product engineering

Production LLM systems that survive contact with reality — evals, retrieval, agents, observability and the kind of guardrails that make a CTO sleep.

  • Eval harnesses (offline + online) tied to product KPIs, not vibes
  • Retrieval pipelines with measurable recall, not vendor demos
  • Multi-step agents with planning, tool-use and reliable hand-offs
  • Cost & latency budgets enforced at the system level
  • LLM router design — small/big model orchestration
  • Fine-tuning, distillation, and prompt-program engineering

02Platforms

Timeline

6–16 weeks

Starts at

After a 1-week discovery

Platform & developer tooling

Internal platforms that turn a 9-month learning curve into a one-day onboarding. Workflow builders, SDKs, multi-tenant systems, and tooling engineers tell their friends about.

  • Visual workflow builders & low-code engines
  • Multi-tenant SaaS architecture with per-tenant isolation
  • SDK and CLI design (TS, Python, Go)
  • Self-healing connectors and ingestion pipelines
  • Migration playbooks — legacy → modern stack
  • Developer experience audits & DX overhauls

Timeline

4 weeks

Fixed-price

Frontier product sprints

A weeks-not-months engagement to ship the thing your roadmap has been failing to ship. Senior engineers, fixed scope, real production hand-off at the end.

  • Greenfield product MVPs — design, build, ship
  • Vertical AI agents for a specific business workflow
  • Mobile + web cross-platform launches
  • Penetration-tested security and SSO from day one
  • Production-ready, your repo, your conventions
  • Hand-off doc + 30 days of post-launch support

04Process

Four steps. Three weeks. Zero theater.

  1. 01

    Triage call

    30 minutes. We tell you whether we are the right shop. If not, we usually know who is.

  2. 02

    Scoped proposal

    A 1-page plan within 48 hours. Deliverables, timeline, price. Either side can walk.

  3. 03

    Build week

    Day one is a working artifact, not a kickoff deck. Weekly demos, single shared channel, no project managers.

  4. 04

    Production hand-off

    Code in your repo, runbook in your wiki, 30 days of paired ownership while your team takes the wheel.

05FAQ

Questions we get most often.

What stage of company do you typically work with?
Anywhere from a Series A with a real customer to a Fortune 500 R&D group. The common thread is technical ambition and a real stakeholder, not company stage.
Do you do staff augmentation?
No. We engage on outcomes, not seats. If you need bodies, hire a contractor agency. If you need an outcome shipped, talk to us.
Can you work on a fixed price?
For sprints, yes — we price against a defined deliverable. For longer platform work, it is usually time-and-materials with a weekly cap and a hard kill-switch.
Where are you based?
We are remote-first and timezone-flexible. Most of our team overlaps US Eastern through European hours, with weekly in-person sessions when an engagement calls for it.
Do you ship in our stack?
Yes. We work in your repo, your stack, your conventions. Our default is TypeScript/React/Node + the modern LLM toolchain, but we are fluent in Python, Go, Rust and most cloud infras.
