Fig. 10 — JavaScript engineering
Hire JavaScript developers
We write JavaScript for products that have to keep working — not demos, not prototypes handed over and forgotten.
What you are actually hiring
Most JavaScript work fails slowly rather than loudly: it ships, then becomes expensive to change. We spend the first weeks on the decisions that determine that cost — where state lives, what the boundaries are, which parts are allowed to know about each other.
- Shared, typed contracts between client and server, so a rename breaks the build instead of production
- Validation at every boundary the data enters, not only at the form
- Tests where they pay: flows a user actually performs, not coverage theatre
- A build that fails on an error before it reaches a person
How the work runs
Four stages, and you see running software from the first one. Discovery establishes what is actually being built and what it must not do. Architecture settles the shape before there is code to argue about. Build ships in increments you can use. Evolution is the part most agencies leave out — the product keeps changing after launch, and so does our involvement.
Who this suits
Founders and owners without an in-house engineering lead, who need someone to hold the technical decisions rather than execute a specification handed down. If you already have a CTO and want extra hands by the hour, we are the wrong shape — say so on the call and we will tell you honestly.
