What exactly is a retainer engagement?
You get one or more senior, AI-native engineers embedded in your team on a flat monthly fee. They work in your stack, standups, and board, and you flex capacity up or down with 30 days' notice.
How fast can you start?
Days, not quarters. After a short scoping call we place engineers and they join your workflow immediately, no long ramp.
What does AI-native actually mean?
Our engineers use agentic coding, eval loops, and codegen as a normal part of the job, so one engineer produces the output of several without dropping quality.
Who owns the code?
You do. Ownership of work product transfers to you on payment. We keep only our generic tooling and know-how.
Can you work in our stack and process?
Yes. We embed in your repo, CI, review gates, and rituals rather than working at a distance behind a hand-off layer.
How does pricing work?
We don't publish a rate card. Every engagement is scoped to your roadmap and priced before we start, as a flat monthly retainer, a fixed sprint price, or a day rate. You always know the number before any work begins.
Can we flex up or down?
Yes. Retainers flex monthly with 30 days' notice, so you scale capacity with your roadmap instead of carrying fixed headcount.
Do you sign NDAs and follow our security rules?
Always. We sign mutual NDAs before sensitive work and operate within your security and AI-tooling policies. See our Security page for detail.
