Ongoing development

Engineers who already know your systems.

Add ongoing engineering capacity for maintenance, improvements, and support without hiring a full internal team.

The problem

Hiring a team is a big commitment for a variable amount of work.

Work arrives in bursts. Hiring for the peak is expensive, hiring for the average leaves you stuck, and every new contractor starts from zero on your systems.

We stay involved between projects, so the people who pick up the next thing already understand how yours works.

Capabilities

How we work with you

Dedicated capacity

A set amount of engineering time each month, used how you need it.

Project work

Defined scope, defined outcome, defined end.

Support retainers

Someone who knows the system when something breaks.

Architecture guidance

A second opinion before you commit to a direction.

Handover and documentation

Your team can run it without us if that is the goal.

Escalation

A path to a senior engineer rather than a queue.

How the arrangement works
Work arrives in bursts Too much for the team, not enough to hire for
Standing capacity Engineers who already know your systems Stork builds
Shipped Without a hiring round or a cold start

The value is continuity. A new contractor spends the first month learning what we already know.

How it works

How the arrangement usually works

  1. Learn the systemsReview the code, hosting, documentation, and outstanding issues with the people who currently run the application.
  2. Agree the arrangementSet the available capacity, priorities, communication rhythm, and expectations for support and escalation.
  3. Prepare to contributeEstablish access, local setup, deployment procedures, and a shared backlog so work can move safely.
  4. Deliver from the backlogHandle agreed fixes and improvements, showing what shipped and surfacing decisions that need your input.
  5. Review the prioritiesRevisit capacity and upcoming work regularly, keeping documentation current as the systems change.
