Senior developers, and no middleman between you and the code
allgree is a product engineering studio staffed by senior developers. Companies bring us the software they depend on and we design it, build it, ship it, and help keep it running.
Ten years and more each, on products that had real users and real consequences. That length of time is less about the code than about everything around it: sitting with a CXO whose budget is on the line, working a roadmap with a product manager who has to defend it, and talking to the customer who actually uses the thing. We have been in those rooms, and it changes what we build.
The people who scope the work are the people who write the code. There's no account manager between you and the engineering, no sales team describing a project they won't be part of, and no handoff to a team you've never spoken to. When you ask how something works, you're asking whoever built it.
That puts a real ceiling on how much we take on at once, and we'd rather say so than fill a gap with whoever is free. We run fewer engagements and stay on them.
We're remote and we write things down, so the work doesn't depend on everyone being in the same room at the same hour, and you can read what was decided, and why, months later.
That the team taking over after us has an easy time.
It's a useful proxy for almost everything else: readable code, real tests, current dependencies, documentation that matches reality, and no dependency on us being in the room.
What we are, and what we aren't
Both columns matter. Choosing an engineering partner is mostly a process of ruling out the wrong ones.
- Senior developers who write the code ourselves, ten years and more each
- Used to working with CXOs, product managers, and the end customer directly
- Able to argue about the product, not only the implementation
- Willing to own the entire technical side, not a slice of someone else's plan
- The same people from first call to handover
- Comfortable inheriting a codebase we didn't write
- Opinionated about tests, migrations, and observability
- Happy to be reviewed by your engineers
- Direct about what we think won't work
- A sales team that disappears after the contract
- A staffing agency billing for seats
- A layer between you and engineers you never meet
- A team that needs a specification to start thinking
- Interested in owning your infrastructure or accounts
- Going to tell you every idea is a good one
Three structural choices
Each of these has a cost. We think they're the right trade, and it's worth knowing what you're trading before you hire us.
Remote by default
No office to justify. We hire where the people are and agree on an overlap window per engagement rather than pretending time zones don't exist.
Written by default
Decisions live in documents, not in someone's memory of a call. It's slower on the day and much faster six months later.
Flat by choice
No management layer and no account managers. It caps how much we can take on at once, and it's the reason nothing gets lost being explained a third time.
The person you'll be talking to
Anshul Jain
Ten years building backend systems, cloud platforms, and AI products, nearly all of it on things with real users and real consequences attached. He still writes the code: founder is the job title, not the day. He's one of the people who will be in your channel, and in your codebase.
Retrieval pipelines over real documents, agents with tool access and human checkpoints, and the evaluation harnesses that decide whether any of it is working. Plus the unglamorous half: cost and latency budgets per feature, and serving models on AWS at production scale. The machine-learning grounding is not recent enthusiasm, it is peer-reviewed NLP research published with Springer.
Ten years of scoping with CXOs whose budget is on the line, planning with product managers who have to defend the roadmap, and talking to the customers who actually use the thing. He runs the engagement and writes code on it, so nothing is lost between the person deciding and the person building, and he'll tell you when the plan is wrong rather than build it anyway.
He works alongside a second senior engineer. We introduce the specific people who'd be on your project before anything is signed.
How a project is staffed
We'll introduce the specific people before anything is signed, and they'll be the ones in your channel afterwards.
Senior developers only
Ten years and more each, so everyone on your project is experienced enough to own a decision and to tell you when the decision is wrong. We don't staff a project with juniors and bill them at a senior rate, and we don't keep a bench that needs filling.
At least two people know your system
Whoever builds it briefs a second person properly, so a question about any part of your system has more than one person who can answer it. No single point of failure on our side.
Specialists only when needed
For work outside what we do well (a specific design or mobile need) we bring in someone we've worked with before, introduce them by name, and stay accountable for the result.
