Embed one of our engineers in your team while you hire, or have a dedicated PM and our engineers work as your extended dev team. Either way, you agree what ships each month, and we bill monthly.

Your price is locked for as long as you stay subscribed. Signups from 2027 pay the list price.
EMBEDDED ENGINEER
They join your Slack, work in your repositories and pick up your tickets, backed by our AI coding-agent fleet. Your team keeps ownership of the architecture. Scale down or pause when your hire lands.

EXTENDED DEV TEAM
A dedicated PM runs daily standups with you, and our engineers ship parallel workstreams in your Slack and tools. For when one extra engineer is not enough.
Co-Build Standard
Start smaller than a subscription
Describe the work in plain words and a first interactive draft follows, usually the same day. It is free, and no subscription is needed to see it. If it fits, your engineer or team picks it up from there.
HOW IT WORKS
Six things make this different from renting developer hours.
Your embedded engineer, or your PM and engineers, join your Slack and work in your repositories. You know who is doing the work, and they get to know your product.
Our engineers run our AI coding agents on your tickets. Models from different families review each change, and the engineer accountable for the work decides what reaches your product.
Each month starts with a short list of what will ship: features, fixes, improvements, agreed with you. Not hours. The month is judged by what lands in your product.
Co-Build Standard is the fully embedded setup: daily standups with a dedicated PM, working in your Slack and your tools. Starter is the lighter version, with a weekly check-in call.
We build and maintain end-to-end tests around your product's critical paths, so new work is far less likely to break old work without anyone noticing.
You get a single link where the latest state of the work is running. Open it whenever you like to see where things stand.
HOW WE BUILD
We run our own fleet of AI coding agents. Each one works a ticket in its own environment and opens a pull request. Models from different families review it, tests run, and an engineer who is accountable for the work decides what ships.

“Indra led a rebuild of our multi-step checkout system, significantly improving both stability and user experience. He was proactive, pragmatic, and easy to work with—taking full responsibility for delivery end-to-end and iterating quickly while keeping the implementation clean and scalable. He rebuilt the frontend using Vue 3 and Vuetify, implemented Pinia for consistent state management across the multi-step flow, and integrated Stripe Elements for secure and seamless payment processing. The final result was a faster, more maintainable checkout experience that felt significantly smoother for users.”

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT
Launching is the start. If your product needs steady shipping after that, a monthly pod keeps it moving — you buy outcomes, not an hourly meter. Pods also take on connected-systems work: your tools built into one connected system, progressively.

Not sure which tier fits? Bring your roadmap to the call and we'll work it out together. You can move between tiers as your months change, and pause anytime.
WHO IT'S FOR
The product is live, customers are asking for things, and you need steady shipping without hiring a full-time team for it.
A technical co-founder left, a freelancer moved on, or the agency that built v1 is done. Someone needs to own the codebase month to month.
An engineer with review, testing and process already in place. No recruiting, no onboarding project, and no long lock-in.
Hourly billing rewards slowness. Outcome-framed months put the incentive where it belongs: on shipping.
Several internal tools that no longer talk to each other, or a back office that needs building piece by piece. We build it in stages while your team keeps working.
FAQ
One of our engineers who works as part of your team: in your Slack, in your standups, in your repositories. Some call this a forward-deployed engineer (FDE). The difference from a contractor is what backs them: our AI coding-agent fleet and our review process.
A dedicated PM and our engineers working as your dev team, month to month. The PM runs daily standups with you, and the team ships parallel workstreams in your Slack and tools. It fits when your backlog is far ahead of your team, or when you have no tech team at all.
If you have a team and need one more engineer while you hire, start with an embedded engineer. If the backlog needs several workstreams at once, or there is no team to embed into, an extended dev team fits better. You can move between the two as your months change.
Yes. They work in your repositories and your tools, and your engineers can review their pull requests like any other. Your team keeps ownership of the architecture; we add shipping capacity.
Scale down or pause. The code, tests and notes are already in your repositories, so your new engineer picks up from there. Some teams keep a Starter plan running for the overflow.
We agree on the month's outcomes up front, then ship through the month. On Starter, we meet on a weekly check-in call to plan and steer together; on Standard, a dedicated PM runs daily standups with you and the team works in your Slack and tools. You watch progress on your live URL, and at the end of the month we review what shipped and set the next month's list.
Starter ($1,490/month) is one active workstream with a weekly check-in call: build, hosting, updates, and QA included, pause anytime. Standard ($3,490/month) embeds a dedicated PM and dev team in your workflow: daily standups, working in your Slack and tools, parallel workstreams, and priority turnaround. Above that, we shape a custom Co-Build tier on a call. Both are 2026 signup prices, locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. The list prices ($1,990/month and $4,490/month) apply to signups from 2027.
Plans scale up and down between months. Move from Starter to Standard when the roadmap is full, and drop back when it quiets down. There is no long lock-in.
Yes. That is a common shape for a Co-Build Starter: your tools built into one connected system, one working piece at a time. Your team keeps using each piece while the next is built.
No. You either subscribe to a Co-Build plan or buy fixed-priced requests. You always know the number before we start.
You do. The work happens in your repositories (or ones we hand over), and everything we produce, including code, tests and documentation, is yours. If we ever part ways, you keep a codebase a new team can pick up.
A good freelancer gives you their hours. Our engineers come with a system: our agent fleet, review by models from different families, end-to-end tests guarding your product, and continuity that does not depend on one person's availability.
Prefer pay as you go? No subscription needed. Changes and small features are available as fixed-priced requests, quoted before we start. Never hourly.
