Embedded Builder Residency
Three to six months inside your team as a senior IC shipping across design, engineering, AI, and brand.
Duration: 3 to 6 months, renewable. Commitment: 30 to 40 hours per week. Pricing: $20K to $40K per month. Product strategy, UI/UX design, full-stack engineering, agentic AI development, brand identity, and hiring guidance all included.
We join standups, own decisions, and ship code. The engagement is intentional, focused, and finite. It ends when the team can sustain the velocity without us.
This is the closest thing we offer to joining your team. We care about the outcome the way a cofounder cares about the outcome, because for the duration of the residency, your product is our product. We're in the codebase, in the design files, in the strategy conversations, and in the room when the hard calls get made.
The work covers whatever the product needs at any given moment. Some weeks that's designing a new feature. Some weeks that's debugging a state management issue for six hours. Some weeks that's telling the founder that the feature they're excited about should wait. The commitment is to the product, and the scope flexes around what it needs.
Founders who want someone invested in their success and working alongside them day to day. Pre-seed to Series A startups with funding and a product to build. Founders who need senior technical and design leadership now and can't wait months to recruit a full-time hire.
Senior product people who can design, engineer, and think through AI systems take a long time to find and cost $250K to $400K per year. A residency gives you that capability with no equity dilution, no long-term commitment, and a clear transition plan when you're ready to build your own team.
