Senior engineers for AI-built products
Forward-deployed engineers who embed with your team to clean up, harden, and scale what you've built — fast.
Built with Cursor, Lovable, Replit, v0 or Bolt? That's exactly what we work on.
Sound familiar?
None of this means you did anything wrong — the tools optimise for "working demo," not "production system." If two or more ring true, an audit will pay for itself.
The launch moment you've worked toward is exactly when the app falls over.
Shipping means copying files and hoping. No safe, repeatable way to release or roll back.
Everything depends on everything — each small feature means touching half the app.
Every finding in your audit comes with a plain-English explanation, a risk ranking, and a fix — most critical issues get resolved during the engagement itself.
Who this is for
Most teams we work best with are pre-seed to Series A. If any of the above is off, we'll tell you on the first call — for free, and before any money changes hands.
Two ways in, one team
Most clients meet us through the audit, then keep us on to build what's next — and if you haven't built anything yet, we'll start from the first commit. Same engineers, same standards; the scope grows only when you want it to.
[ 01 ] Fix what exists
Senior engineers read your entire codebase, list exactly what's fragile — in plain English — and fix the critical issues before they cost you users, money, or a funding round.
[ 02 ] Build what's next
A dedicated senior engineer — or a small pod — joins your team and keeps building the product properly: your roadmap, your tools, our engineering discipline.
[ 03 ] Start from zero
Nothing built yet — or ready to rebuild properly rather than patch? We design and build your product from the first commit: AI-accelerated speed, senior-engineer discipline, and no cleanup phase later, because there's nothing to clean up.
What "forward-deployed" means
No handoffs, no account managers, no weekly status decks. Our engineers work where your work happens — as if you'd hired them yourself.
You talk directly to the person writing the code, so decisions get made in hours, not meeting cycles.
Results
Numbers from recent engagements. Client names are withheld under NDA; industries and stacks are real.
Two founders, 1,400 users, an investor asking for technical due diligence.
Checkout crawling under load, launch coverage landing in three weeks.
Every deploy was a 45-minute manual ritual nobody wanted to run on Fridays.
"They never once made us feel stupid for how we built it. Two weeks later we handed the investor their report — and passed."

Metrics are taken from client dashboards and engagement reports at the end of each project. Individual results depend on where a codebase starts — the audit will tell you exactly that.
How an engagement runs
A real sequence, not a sales funnel. Each step stands on its own — you decide whether to take the next one.
[ 01 ]→
Senior engineers review your codebase and infrastructure. You get a written report: what's solid, what's fragile, what's urgent — ranked and jargon-free.
3–5 business days · fixed price[ 02 ]→
The same engineers join your team — your Slack, your repo, your sprints — and fix the critical findings first.

With the foundations hardened, we build what's next on your roadmap — startup speed, production discipline.
ongoing · scale monthlyTalk to us
Every engagement is fixed-price or a flat monthly retainer — quoted in writing before any work begins, once we've seen the scope. Two ways to start:
Talk directly to a senior engineer — not a salesperson. Tell us what you've built and what's worrying you; we'll tell you what we'd check first and whether we're the right fit.
Send us a few details — your stack, roughly how big the app is, and what prompted the question — and we'll reply with a fixed price and timeline for a full audit.
Your code and details stay confidential — we're happy to sign an NDA before you share anything.
Questions we hear a lot
No — and this matters to us. Building a working product with AI tools is an achievement, not a confession. The patterns we find are the predictable output of the tools, not a reflection of your judgment. Every report is written in plain, respectful language you could forward to an investor without wincing.
No. Audits are read-only — we review a copy of your code, so you keep shipping. During cleanups and embedded work we use the same branch-and-review workflow as any professional team, so our changes and yours land side by side.
Everything the mainstream AI building tools produce: React, Next.js, Node, Python, Supabase, Firebase, Postgres, Vercel, and the surrounding ecosystem — whether it came out of Cursor, Lovable, Replit, v0, Bolt, or hand-written code in between. Unusual stack? Tell us on the first call and we'll confirm fit before you commit.
Three ways. Seniority: experienced engineers who've run production systems, not whoever a marketplace matched you with. Structure: fixed prices and flat retainers — never open-ended hourly billing. Working model: our engineers embed in your team and tools rather than disappearing behind an account manager.
Yes, always. That's what "forward-deployed" means in practice: your Slack, your GitHub, your Linear or Jira, your standups. Everything we write and document lives in your systems, so the knowledge stays with you.
Yes. Our New Product Build is for exactly this: we scope the MVP with you in week one, you approve it in writing, and we build from the first commit with tests, security, and CI/CD in place from the start. You own the repo, the IP, and the documentation, and the same team can stay embedded to grow the product after launch — or hand it over cleanly if you'd rather hire in-house.
Everything is fixed-price or a flat monthly retainer — never open-ended hourly billing. Because the right price depends on the size and state of your codebase, we quote after a short scoping conversation, always in writing and always before any work begins. If you continue from an audit to a cleanup within 30 days, the audit fee is credited in full.
That's the most common path. The audit stands alone — take the report and stop there if you like; the same engineers embed later only if and when you want them to.
Ready when you are
Start with a free vibe code audit consultation. A senior engineer will look at what you've built, tell you what they'd check first, and give you an honest read on where you stand. No obligation, no judgment.
