SaaS Product engineering
A small team of senior product engineers, embedded into your SaaS for a quarter at a time. We pick up the hard parts of the roadmap — billing, onboarding, multi-tenancy, audit, internal tooling — and leave them shipped.
Your roadmap has six items that are critical, hard, and have stalled twice. They’re not greenfield, they’re not a redesign — they’re the load-bearing rewrites. Billing migrations. Multi-tenant carve-outs. Audit pipelines. Onboarding overhauls. We embed for a quarter, pick two or three, and ship them.
A senior pod (2–4 engineers + designer) embedded in your Slack and standups.
Two to three roadmap-critical features shipped per quarter.
Code that matches your style guide, your tests, and your review process.
Architecture decisions documented and reviewed with your tech lead.
Knowledge handover from day one — your engineers ship every PR with us.
Optional 30-day support tail at the end of each quarter.
Inside the engagement.
- 01
Billing & metering
Stripe, Lago, Orb, or rolled-your-own. Reconciled ledgers, usage-based metering, plan changes mid-cycle, dunning, tax. We've shipped this six times; we know where the bodies are.
- 02
Multi-tenancy
Schema-per-tenant, row-level security, or shared-everything with policy. We migrate live tenants without downtime.
- 03
Onboarding & activation
The 30-second-to-value redesign. Sample data, guided flows, empty states that teach. Activation rate is the metric, not session length.
- 04
Internal tools
Admin panels, ops consoles, on-call dashboards. The tools your support team begs for, built in a week each.
- 05
Audit & observability
Structured event logs, SOC2-ready audit trails, OpenTelemetry, dashboards that match your runbooks. Observability that pays rent.
- 06
AI features
When the roadmap item is an AI feature: copilots, embeddings, evals, guardrails. We run our AI-flow practice on top of this engagement.
Stack-agnostic. Style-rigorous.
We adopt your stack on day one. The list below is what we default to when the call is ours — but we’ve shipped in Rails, Django, Go, and .NET when the engagement called for it.

Roadmap triage
A 90-minute call with your tech lead and head of product. We pick two or three items from your roadmap that are stalled, scope them, and tell you what we’d ship in a quarter. No engagement starts without this.

Embed
We join your Slack, Linear, GitHub, and standups. Your engineers pair with ours from PR one. The pod operates on your processes, not ours.

Ship
Two-week sprints, weekly demos, every Friday a feature flag flips somewhere. We ship to production behind flags from week three.

Handover or extend
End-of-quarter review. Either we extend for another quarter on a fresh roadmap slice, or we hand over with a 30-day support tail. No drama either way.

Always alongside. Every PR we open has one of your engineers on it as a reviewer or co-author. The whole point is that when we leave, your team is the team that knows the code best.
2 to 4 per pod, all senior (8+ years shipping production). One acts as tech lead and is the single point of accountability for the engagement. No juniors, no shadow staffing.
Yes. We've shipped meaningful work in Rails, Django, Elixir, Go, .NET, and Java. We'll tell you on the triage call whether we're the right team for the stack.
Yes. We'll send ours; we're also happy to sign yours. We treat everything we see in a brief as confidential by default.
You own everything we ship — code, designs, architecture docs, runbooks. Spelled out in the MSA.
Quarterly retainers start at the cost of two senior engineers for a quarter. Quoted after triage in a one-page fee letter. No hourly billing, no scope-creep change orders mid-quarter.
