Everything you need to know about our engineering retainers.
How does an engineering retainer work?
You get a dedicated allocation of senior engineering hours each month, used flexibly across architecture, build, review, and strategic guidance. We agree on priorities together and adjust as your needs evolve.
What kinds of projects are a good fit?
Modernisation efforts, scaling challenges, ongoing platform support, technical strategy, and any work where senior expertise compounds over months rather than weeks.
Can I pause or adjust my retainer?
Yes. You can adjust capacity up or down between billing cycles, and pause with reasonable notice. We design retainers to flex with your roadmap.
How quickly can we get started?
Most retainers begin within one to two weeks of agreement. We start with a short alignment session to understand your context and priorities.
Who will be working on our projects?
Senior engineers and principals only. Every retainer has a named lead who owns delivery and stays with you for the duration.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, always. We treat confidentiality and information security as table stakes.

support without a full-time hire?
