Team Trial: two weeks with senior engineers inside your team

You need more engineers, but every one you add makes your days heavier.

Spend two weeks with a team that makes your day lighter, not longer. Then decide. For a season, or for longer.

You need to add to your team temporarily.
You’ve been burned by contractors who padded hours to keep you on the hook.

What’s true now

Every extra pair of hands is one more thing to manage. Even the ones that aren’t human.

What’s true after

You add engineers without your own days getting heavier, and you know it because you watched it happen.

Writing code is the easy part. We’re here to make you enjoy your job again.

How we choose

If we accept the work, it’s because we believe in what you’re building. Our people care more than makes sense on paper, and it shows up in the work.

Your timeline, start to finish

01Kickoff: two or three of our engineers and our engineering lead, live discovery on your repos. You leave with less on your mind than you came with.
02One ticket, yours, taken end to end to a pull request.
03One code review, with your team.
04At the end, we propose the next ticket before you ask.

What you walk away with

A clear answer to one question: would this team lighten your load?

Plus a merged PR, and a code review your team sat in. Whatever you decide next, the work stays.

You have seen us work inside your codebase before you commit to anything.
Your team has met the people, not a sales deck.
The work stays merged whatever you decide next.

Length: Two weeks

Questions you’re probably asking

How much does the two-week trial cost?

A Team Trial is $5,000, fixed. Two weeks.

What do we get for it?

A merged pull request on one of your own tickets, taken end to end, and a code review your team sat in. Plus a felt answer to the only question that matters: would this be a burden?

What happens if we don’t continue afterwards?

Nothing is clawed back. Whatever you decide next, the work stays: the ticket is merged and the review already happened.

How do you decide which work to take?

If we accept the work, it’s because we believe in what you’re building. Our people care more than makes sense on paper, and it shows up in the work.
