Atlanta
Senior engineering for
Atlanta founders
Atlanta processes about 70% of all US credit card transactions. The fintech bench is real — Mailchimp diaspora, SalesLoft, Calendly. So is the hiring competition: Coca-Cola's tech arm, NCR, a dozen well-funded fintechs all bidding for the same senior engineers. We don't bid. We ship — flat price, two-week first deploy.

How this works
One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.
One senior engineer 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 Atlanta who need to ship before the next round closes.
The local read
Why this works for Atlanta
Atlanta's fintech and B2B SaaS hiring market is tighter than the headlines suggest. 60+ days average to fill a senior role. $250K all-in for the kind of engineer who can wire Plaid, Stripe, and ACH rails without breaking compliance.
We do that work weekly. One named senior engineer, Eastern Time, overlap with your Atlanta team and your East Coast investors. Java + Spring for fintech. Next.js + Postgres for SaaS. EDI integrations for supply-chain. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.
