Hiring a full-time Senior Rails Engineer costs $150k+ per year (plus benefits). But you might not need one 40 hours a week. You just need someone to make the hard technical decisions and unblock your junior team.
👨💻 For Teams with Juniors
Your junior devs are great, but they get stuck on complex architecture or database scaling. I provide the mentorship and code reviews they need to grow.
🚀 For CTOs & Founders
You're busy raising money or selling. You need a technical lieutenant who can own the codebase and ensure quality while you focus on the business.
What I Handle
- Architecture Decisions: "Should we use microservices?" "How do we scale this query?" I answer these.
- Complex Features: I take the hardest tickets (payment engines, subscription logic) off your backlog.
- Code Reviews: I review every PR to ensure clean, maintainable, and secure code.
- DevOps & CI/CD: I set up the pipelines so your team can deploy 10x a day without fear.
