AI assistant inside your product
About a week
Retrieval over your docs and data, tool use with explicit permissions, evaluation suite, cost and latency budgets, and an admin view of every conversation. Shipped behind a feature flag.
For founders who need a senior engineer, not a hiring process
A senior engineer who ships daily, with Claude Code in hand and the Guild behind them.
Not a recruiter, not an agency, not a bench. A named senior engineer working in your repo and your working hours, quoting fixed prices or booked by the week, demoing finished work to you every single day. The Guild's fee is on the invoice.
Fixed price, in writingBefore anything starts.
Sound familiar?
- Agencies quoting a blended rate with the margin hidden.
- Contractors who disappear at the worst moment, with nobody to step in.
- Three weeks of interviews to find out someone cannot ship.
- Time zones that turn every question into a next-day answer.
What changes
- One named engineer who learns your business and answers to you.
- Every piece quoted as a fixed price with a date before it starts.
- Month paid ahead against a cap you set. Cancel at the end of any month.
- You own everything built, code and accounts, from day one.
What a Guild engineer does for a business like yours
- Python, TypeScript, Go, mobile, cloud: whatever your stack is, in your repo, your CI and your conventions
- AI features done properly: retrieval, agents with guardrails, evaluation, cost control
- Integrations, data pipelines, internal tools, admin panels, billing
- Maintenance, upgrades, security fixes and the backlog nobody gets to
Real pieces of work, with real timelines
What we build, how long it takes.
Each is quoted as a fixed price before it starts and demoed to you every day until it is done. Timelines are typical, not best case.
The integration your customers keep asking for
A day or two
QuickBooks, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Slack, Google or the vertical system in your niche: OAuth, sync, webhooks, retries and a settings page.
Internal admin and support tooling
A day or two
The account lookup, refund, impersonation and audit tools your support team has been asking for, with permissions and logs.
Billing and plans done right
About a week
Stripe subscriptions, usage metering, proration, dunning, invoices and the customer portal, with the edge cases handled.
Test coverage and CI that catches things
A day or two
A real test suite around the paths that matter, a CI pipeline that runs in minutes, and preview environments per pull request.
Dependency and framework upgrade
A day or two
The major version bump everyone has avoided, done with a migration plan, a compatibility layer where needed, and nothing left broken.
Data pipeline and reporting
About a week
Events and database into a warehouse, modelled cleanly, with the dashboards the team actually uses and alerts when numbers move.
Dedicated engineer by the week
Ongoing, demoed daily
For a roadmap that never ends: ten to forty hours a week, same person, in your standups, with the Guild to cover if life happens.
The Guild charter
What every Guild engineer has sworn to.
Invited personally. There is no application form, no bench, and no public listing. You meet engineers inside the platform after we have talked.
Assessed on a recorded working session on a real problem, not a coding puzzle.
Every piece quoted as a fixed price, in writing, before it starts. Overruns are theirs, not yours.
A daily standup, at a time the client chooses, where the engineer demos the finished work from the last twenty-four hours. Every day of the engagement. Progress is shown, not reported.
Built with agentic tools under guardrails, and reviewed by a human before it ships. Speed never skips judgement.
One named person from first call to last commit, with another member to cover if life happens.
Month paid ahead to the Guild's US company. One invoice, one W-9. Cancel at the end of any month. You own the code and the accounts from day one.
