engagement models

Retainer

$18k – $25k / month

Your platform team on call. We handle all infrastructure epics end-to-end. You post ideas, we execute. Covers architecture, CI/CD, cloud, observability, security, and custom tooling.

Best for: Series A–C startups, fintech, crypto/DeFi protocols.

Fractional CTO

$20k – $30k / month

Principal-level technical leadership plus an execution crew. Architecture decisions, team leveling, vendor selection, and full hands-on delivery. One hire, four engineers.

Project-Based

Defined scope, fixed timeline, clear deliverables. Ideal for migrations, platform rebuilds, or specific infrastructure projects with a clear start and end.

how engagements work

  • step 01
    You describe the problem or goal — one sentence is enough. We ask the right questions.
  • step 02
    We scope the work into an epic with phases, tasks, estimates, and risks. Posted for your review within hours.
  • step 03
    You approve direction in a single reply. No back-and-forth, no lengthy planning cycles.
  • step 04
    We execute autonomously. You get updates on GitHub. Nothing lands in production without your approval gate.
  • step 05
    Epic closed within 24 hours. You review the delivery, request changes, or move to the next initiative.
