What we do

The work, concretely

What you'd hand to a salaried saas developer — we own end to end on a flat-price engagement.

  • Multi-tenant data model with row-level isolation from commit one
  • Stripe subscription, usage-based, or seat-based billing with proper webhooks
  • Customer admin (workspace, members, billing) + internal back-office
  • SSO-ready architecture (SAML, OIDC) even if you ship password-only first
  • Audit logging, role-based access, GDPR/SOC 2-friendly defaults

FAQ

About hiring vs engaging in Austin

How fast can you start?

+
Most engagements begin within seven days of the first call. There's no recruiter pipeline, no notice period, no relocation timeline.

Do you handle Stripe end-to-end?

+
Yes — checkout, customer portal, webhooks, dunning, prorating, trials. Billing is wired correctly the first time, not 'we'll connect Stripe later'.

Is this a full-time replacement?

+
No — we're a senior engineer on a flat-price engagement. For most pre-seed and seed-stage products, that ships more than a salaried hire would in the same window. When you outgrow it, we hand off cleanly to the team you hire.

Who owns the code?

+
You do, from commit one. Repo in your GitHub, infra in your cloud account. When you do hire someone, they onboard onto your code, not ours.
