Software engineering

Get your stalled software moving again.

We're the engineers who take a drifting project and get it back to shipping.

Better People, Better Software.

We hire for soft skills first; the hard skills can be trained. Our hiring principles are published, so you can hold us to them.

Autonomous

You hand us the goal and the team moves toward it. Problems come to you early, while there is still room to act, and the work keeps going.

Perceptive

Most of what you need never fits inside the ticket. The team listens for the unspoken half and the worry underneath the request, and answers the person who wrote it.

Craftsman

The build stays small. Every part has to earn its place. You pay for just enough. That enough holds together under real use.

Start with you, not us.

Communication is the most important factor in delivering successful software projects. Don't let anyone else fool you into thinking otherwise. Fast execution is meaningless if the goals don't align first.

01

Understand

We sit with the people who use the software and the people who paid for it, and write down what has to be true when this is done.

02

Assess

We read the code you already have and hand back a written account of its state, including the parts in worse shape than you were told.

03

Ship

The first change goes out small, so you see how we work while very little is riding on it.

Bootstrapped and scalable senior teams.

We staffed multiple small and scalable teams that have successfully bootstrapped ideas into profitable startups without requiring the usual astronomical payroll of a full Scrum team.

Mechanical standards, through AI

ACE shares and distribute learnings from all engineers in all projects to all other engineers in every other projects we build. PRODIGY9 School is not just the way we teach, it's the same high bar we apply, mechanically, in every project.
