Add senior engineers

Support and maintenance

Ongoing ownership of software that is already live, whether we built it or inherited it. A named engineer, an agreed response time, and a backlog that gets smaller rather than longer.

Discuss this work

When to bring us in

If more than one of these is true, the engagement usually pays for itself in the first quarter.

  1. 01

    The person who built the system has left and nobody has opened the code since.

  2. 02

    Small changes wait months because there is no one to make them.

  3. 03

    Dependencies and certificates are out of date and nobody owns the renewal.

  4. 04

    Something breaks and the first question is who to call.

What the engagement includes

  • Intake review

    We read the code and the infrastructure before quoting, so the retainer is based on what is actually there.

  • Response times

    Severity levels agreed in writing, with the hours they apply in.

  • Fixes and changes

    Defects and small changes handled within the retainer, larger work quoted separately.

  • Dependency upkeep

    Runtime, library and certificate updates on a schedule rather than after an incident.

  • Monitoring

    Alerts that reach a person, with a runbook for the ones that recur.

  • Monthly report

    What was raised, what was fixed, and what we recommend doing next.
