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 Tel Aviv who need to ship before the next round closes.
The local read
Why this works for Tel Aviv
TLV's engineering market is one of the deepest in the world and one of the most expensive at seed stage. Senior offers competing with the cyber unicorns clear $230K all-in with equity that compounds fast. Most of the local agency options are extension-of-team staffing shops that bill weekly.
Different play: one senior engineer ships your build in two weeks, seven-hour overlap with US East working hours, billed in USD. eBPF and Rust for runtime cyber products. Kafka + ClickHouse for adtech pipelines. Next.js + Node for SaaS. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.
