Senior-led production work, delivered in defined phases.

Ship production software without hiring. Every engagement is led end-to-end by a senior engineer, with fixed scope, clear boundaries, and no hidden drag.

Ship with us

const project = {
  scope: "explicitly defined",
  assumptions: "made visible",
  timeline: "aligned upfront",
  budget: "fixed",
};

project.team = GooseBytes.seniorEngineers();

Most teams start here

AI Codebase Stabilization Sprint (1–2 weeks)

For teams that shipped fast and now need reliability. We assess architecture, surface failure risks, and define exactly what to stabilize before production issues compound. We also fix the highest-risk issues when we can do so quickly and safely.

Who this works best for

Ideal for

✓ Teams of any size with a clear vision and defined outcomes
✓ A CTO or senior technical lead
✓ Core team stretched, but decisions still matter
✓ Production work with real downstream impact
✓ Teams that shipped quickly and now need to stabilize before scaling

Not a fit if

× You want to micromanage execution without committing to outcomes
× You’re still exploring the problem space week to week
× You need open-ended or time-and-materials contracts
× There’s no technical owner on your side

Why this works

Production work needs governance.

We don’t optimize for raw velocity.

We optimize for progress that doesn’t create drag.

Clear boundaries

Fixed scope beats silent scope creep

Every engagement starts with explicit deliverables, assumptions, and cutlines, so execution stays aligned when reality shifts.

Senior-led execution

Direct senior ownership, end to end

Production decisions are made and owned by senior engineers who have seen the failure modes before. No delegation layers. No translation loss. When additional expertise is required, we bring in trusted senior specialists, never junior staff.

AI acceleration

AI-accelerated systems, stabilized by senior engineers

We use AI to reduce low-leverage work and accelerate delivery, but senior engineers retain ownership of architecture, security, cost, and long-term maintainability. Speed is useful only if the system survives.

Applied AI for real workflows

We build production-ready AI features that reduce manual work and unlock leverage, integrated into your existing systems, not bolted on.

Scoped. Maintainable. Shipped by senior engineers.

How we work

We stabilize decisions before we build.

Discovery defines boundaries, surfaces assumptions, and makes production work safe.

Once alignment is locked, we move fast.

How we execute

Senior-led production

All work is owned end-to-end by senior engineers.

AI-accelerated, not AI-dependent

AI reduces low-leverage work. Judgment stays human.

Explicit boundaries and change handling

Scope and responsibilities are defined upfront. Changes trigger re-scoping.

Fit to your system

We work within your stack and constraints.
