Embedded senior engineering. Monthly retainer. No hiring overhead. Scale up or down month-to-month.
You need engineering capacity, but full-time hires are slow and risky. Freelancers are unpredictable. Agencies are expensive and detached. You need someone who actually owns the work alongside you.
30 min to understand your stack, team, and what you need help with.
30 MIN
First week is half-rate so you can evaluate fit before committing.
1 WK
Embedded in your team. Slack-first communication. Weekly syncs.
MONTHLY
Adjust hours or pause with 2-week notice. No long-term lock-in.
FLEXIBLE
Standard retainer is 20 hrs/week ($4,800/mo). Full-time (40 hrs) is $8,800/mo. Senior lead with architecture ownership is $12,800/mo. Custom multi-engineer teams quoted separately.
Yes — that's the point. Same engineer, same context, same Slack handle. If continuity matters more than anything else, fractional is a better fit than ad-hoc contracts.
2-week notice and you're paused or scaled. No exit fees. You can pause indefinitely and resume later.
The SOW commits the scope, timeline, and price. If I underestimate, I eat the cost — not you. The only time pricing changes is if you add features beyond scope, and any change is quoted and approved before work starts.
Normal. Most founders come with a problem, not a spec. The 30-min discovery call is for clarifying. If it's still ambiguous, I offer a 1-2 week paid discovery phase to scope it properly.
Book a 30-min call. I'll send a fixed quote within 48 hours — no pitch deck, no follow-up calls.
