Product Engineering
A senior engineering team, without hiring one.
After launch, you need features shipped and production kept healthy. We work as your engineering team on a simple monthly arrangement.

Access
Most funded-but-small products sit in an awkward gap: too much real usage to survive on AI-generated patches, too early to hire three senior engineers. That gap is what this engagement covers. We plan with you monthly, ship on a steady cadence, and carry the pager. You talk directly to the people writing the code — being small is the point, and we don't put account managers between you and them.
What's included
Feature development
A steady, predictable cadence of shipped features, planned with you against what customers are actually asking for.
Production ownership
Monitoring, incident response, and postmortems. When something breaks at 2am, it's our problem before it's yours.
Performance & cost work
Ongoing attention to page speed, query performance, and cloud/LLM spend as usage grows.
Technical direction
Build-vs-buy calls, vendor choices, and honest pushback when a feature isn't worth its complexity.
How it works
Scope the engagement
We look at your product and roadmap and agree what a month of work covers. In writing, in plain language.
Ship on a cadence
Weekly demos of working software. You always know what shipped and what's next.
Adjust monthly
Scale the engagement up, down, or end it. Month to month means we re-earn the work every month.
A good fit if
- You have a live product with real users and a roadmap you can't ship alone
- You're not ready to hire full-time senior engineers
- You want one team accountable for both new features and production health
Probably not, if
- You need a one-off fix — the audit or a fixed-scope build serves you better
- You already have a strong engineering team — we'd rather not duplicate what works
