AI-Native Development
in Seattle

Agentic tooling as the primary build method. Architecture and review stay human.

We build for founders in Seattle using agentic tools — Claude Code as the primary driver — as the actual engineering method, not a demo trick. The difference from vibe coding: architecture, data model, and security boundaries are decided by a senior engineer, evals run as a CI gate instead of a vibe check, and every commit gets reviewed for the failure modes AI-generated code tends to ship. We're also the team founders call to fix the codebases that skipped this discipline — see Vibe Code Rescue.

How this works

One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.

One senior engineer plus AI agents now ships ai-native development that used to need a four-person team. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in Seattle who need to ship before the next round closes.

The local read

Why ai-native development is hard in Seattle

Seattle founders have access to deep technical talent that's mostly busy. The candidates who do interview want AWS comp, or are leaving to start their own thing. Either way, your 90-day hiring cycle becomes 180.

Different math: one named senior engineer plus AI agents, Pacific Time, ships in two weeks. Flat-price quote after a 30-minute call. AWS-native by default — Bedrock, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 — same stack your team already runs. Code in your GitHub from commit one. Walk away clean at the end.

Hiring one senior engineer here is a ~$310K year-one outlay and a 60–90 day search. Our ai-native development engagement starts at $6,000 with a first deploy in 5–10 days.

What you actually get

Concrete deliverables.
Live in 5–10 days.

No discovery phase that bills for itself. No Figma-only delivery. Every item below is something you can open, click, and ship to a user.

01

Scoped build (feature, internal tool, or MVP slice) shipped via agentic-driven implementation, human-reviewed every commit

02

Architecture, data model, and auth boundaries decided by the engineer — never delegated to the agent

03

Evals and automated checks as a CI gate, so AI-authored code can't regress silently

04

Full commit history — you see what was agent-drafted versus hand-written, not one opaque squash commit

05

Code review pass specifically hunting the failure modes AI-generated code tends to ship

Why us

Why founders in Seattle pick us for this

01

We're the team founders call when AI-native went wrong (see Vibe Code Rescue) — we know exactly which shortcuts not to take

02

Agentic tooling used transparently, with a senior engineer as the architecture and security backstop, not a rubber stamp

03

Evals and CI gates from day one, not bolted on after the first production incident

04

Same flat-price, your-code-from-commit-one terms as every other engagement — no markup for the tooling

FAQ

Common questions about ai-native development in Seattle

How fast can you start?

+
Most builds begin within seven days of the first call. We don't sell discovery — we go from problem statement to first deploy on the same day-one timeline.

Is the price really flat?

+
Yes. After a 30-minute call we send a single number and a scope you can accept or reject. No hourly billing, no change-order games. If we underestimate, we eat it.

Isn't this just vibe coding with extra steps?

+
No — the difference is who owns architecture and review. Vibe coding means accepting whatever the agent outputs. AI-native means the agent drafts, a senior engineer decides the data model, auth boundaries, and what actually ships, with evals as a CI gate instead of a vibe check.

Which tools do you use?

+
Claude Code as the primary driver for most of the codebase, with Cursor for targeted work when it fits better. Tool choice adapts to the codebase — what doesn't change is that architecture and code review stay human.

Who owns the code?

+
You do, from commit one. The repository is created in your GitHub org. Infrastructure is provisioned in your cloud account. We don't host your stack on ours and we don't lock you in.
