The local read
Why hiring a typescript developer in New York is hard
NYC founders have a worse hiring problem than the funding headlines suggest. Half your top engineering candidates are weighing your seed offer against a $400K Google package. The dev shops in town are agency-of-record operations billing hourly, or staffing shops shoveling juniors into your team.
We're neither. One named senior engineer owns the build end-to-end. Flat price quoted after a 30-minute call. Eastern Time, same as your General Catalyst partner and your midtown customers. When we finish, the code is in your GitHub and the contract is over. No retainer.
A senior typescript developer here is a ~$388K year-one outlay after benefits, payroll tax, and the 60–90 day search. We're a $6,000+ flat engagement that starts inside seven days.

Why this beats a hire
One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.
One senior typescript developer plus AI agents now ships what four engineers used to. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in New York who need to ship before the next round closes.

The work, concretely
What we'd own day to day
The same scope you'd hand to a salaried typescript developer, owned end to end on a flat-price engagement. No coordination overhead, no junior-on-the-bench, no estimation theatre.
- Strict-mode TS with no implicit any, no @ts-ignore creep
- Schema-first runtime validation (Zod) wired to compile-time types
- Shared types between frontend and backend via tRPC or generated clients
- Domain types modeled with discriminated unions — illegal states unrepresentable
- CI checks that fail on type regressions, not just runtime errors
Stack we use
Defaults — we deviate when the project demands it, not because something is fashionable.
