External IT Department
A senior team, on tap, accountable.
For companies who don't need a CTO yet — but need things shipped, kept running, and improved every quarter. We embed as your engineering team for as long as it takes.
What's included
- Dedicated senior engineers as your day-to-day team
- Quarterly roadmap planning aligned to your business goals
- Operational runbook, on-call rotation, and incident response
- Hand-holding through the moment you hire your own first engineer
Best for
- Companies past the freelancer stage but pre-engineering-team
- Operators who need senior judgment, not just senior hands
- Founders who want a partner who'll happily make themselves redundant
How we work
We start with one full quarter of focused embedding: weekly syncs, shared roadmap, real ownership of one or two systems. By the end of the quarter, you'll know exactly what we ship and what we cost.
From there, scope up or down quarter by quarter. The day you hire your own engineering lead, we hand over cleanly and stay in the wings as long as you need.
