[ 01 ] Software engineering studio

We build, ship & scale software for teams that move fast.

FORGE is a senior-only engineering studio. We embed with your team to ship production web, mobile, API and AI products — clean architecture, real tests, and code you fully own.

  • Senior engineers only
  • You own the code
  • Ship in 2-week sprints

A process built to ship.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We pressure-test the idea, map the scope and de-risk the unknowns before a line of code is written.

    Week 0–1
  2. 02

    Architect

    We pick the stack, model the data and set up CI/CD, staging and observability so the foundation is solid.

    Week 1–2
  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints with working software demoed every Friday. Tests, docs and reviews on every change.

    Sprint 1+
  4. 04

    Ship

    We launch with confidence — load tests, rollbacks and monitoring in place. Yes, even on a Friday.

    Launch
  5. 05

    Scale

    We stay on to iterate, measure and harden — or hand off a codebase your team genuinely owns.

Before we begin.

Can't find an answer? Ask us directly — we reply within a day.

How quickly can we start?

Discovery usually kicks off within 1–2 weeks of signing. For staff augmentation we can often place an engineer in under a week.

Do you work with our existing stack?

Almost certainly. We're stack-agnostic and have shipped in everything from Rails to Rust. If your stack is unusual, we'll tell you honestly in the first call.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do — fully. All code, designs and IP are yours from day one, in your own repositories, under your accounts. No lock-in, ever.

Can you augment our in-house team?

Yes. Our Surge model is built exactly for this — senior engineers who embed with your squad, attend your standups and ship to your standards.

What does a typical engagement cost?

Projects start around $25k, dedicated squads from $18k/month, and individual engineers from $9k/month. We'll give you a precise number after a short scoping call.
