The product is the company. Internal systems are how it stays shippable.
Technology companies accumulate a second estate: admin consoles, billing ops, partner integrations, feature-flag UIs, support tools, and the glue between the product database and finance or CRM. That estate is often under-designed because it is not the customer SKU. We take those systems seriously: scoped product engineering, internal tools with real permissions, and integrations that fail loudly. We are not a body shop with anonymous resumes, and we do not claim a famous logo wall.
What “technology company” means on this page
You already ship software. You have (or should have) repositories, environments, and an on-call reality. The work we do is additive: a module your team cannot staff this quarter, an internal app that should not live as a Jupyter notebook, an integration a customer sold that your backlog never loved, or an AI agent on a tool you already expose internally.
Internal tools fail when they bypass the product’s permission model. Support impersonation, credit issuance, and tenant configuration are privileged APIs. They need audit, two-person rules where money moves, and the same tenancy checks as the customer app. A “quick admin” in production is how incidents happen.
Integration work is product work. Versioning, webhooks, idempotency, and a developer-facing status page (even a simple one) matter more than a happy-path Postman collection. If you sell an API, the partner console is part of the product, not a side quest.
Problems product companies bring us
- Support lives in SQL
Every exception is a query from a senior engineer. You need a console with guardrails.
- Billing ops is a vendor dashboard plus fear
Plan changes, refunds, tax IDs. A tool that calls Stripe (or equivalent) with an audit trail.
- A customer-sold integration with no owner
The contract is signed. The mapper is a script on a laptop. You need a job, retries, and alerting.
- Feature work blocked on a gnarly module
You want a scoped team on a bounded surface, with your review, not a hijack of the roadmap.
- Internal AI experiments in chat
Useful, unlogged, over-permissioned. You need a tool-calling agent in a box.
- Docs and changelog are heroic
A content pipeline from tickets to docs, still with engineering approval.
Capabilities
- Internal admin and ops consoles
Tenant search, impersonation policy, config, kill switches.
- Product modules
A bounded feature area with tests and your architecture constraints.
- Partner and public APIs
Auth, versioning, webhooks, partner portal.
- Workflow automation on your APIs
Provisioning, CRM sync, access reviews.
- SaaS hardening
Tenancy reviews, entitlements, audit, when the product grew faster than the model.
- Growth engineering
Events, landing, experiments, with the same care as product analytics.
Use cases
- Series-whatever company with ops debt
The customer app is ahead of the admin. We even them up. No fake round names required, describe the system.
- Platform team overflow
A well-specified integration or console, reviewed in your PRs.
- ISV building on someone else’s ecosystem
App-store-like constraints, webhooks, and your own tenancy.
- Devtools and infrastructure products
Billing for usage, org models, audit, still product engineering, still scoped.
How we work inside a product org
- Interface with your way of working
Repos, CI, code review, on-call boundaries. We adapt to yours rather than importing a theatre process.
- Written blast radius
What we may touch, what is yours only, how production access works (preferably not).
- Architecture against your standards
We will not sneak a second stack in because it is convenient for us.
- Build in the open
PRs, staging, your QA. No mysterious weekend deploys.
- Handover that a staff engineer can hate-read
Docs, runbooks, and a backlog of known sharp edges. Then iterate or stop.
Questions we hear first
- Are you staff augmentation?
- We sell scoped outcomes more than anonymous hours. If you need a named engineer in your standup for a defined module, we can discuss it as a delivery engagement, not a résumé flood.
- Will you work in our language / framework?
- If we can be competent in it. We are explicit about Laravel, React and TypeScript. A greenfield in an unfamiliar stack is a no, or a discovery to see if we should stay out.
- Can you take production on-call?
- Only if the contract says so, with a pager story and access model. Default is you own production; we ship through your process.
- Do you sign our paper?
- NDAs and MSAs are normal. We will not sign a document that claims certifications we have not earned or that invents unlimited IP over our unrelated work.
- Can you help us look bigger for enterprise deals?
- We can harden admin, audit and tenancy. We will not fabricate SOC reports, headcount or customer logos.
