Engineering outcomes delivered.

A PermaShip technical lead works with you directly. They scope the work, run the platform, and ship results to your repo. You stay on product. We handle the second track.

managed-engineering-hero

You need more engineering done. You don't need more engineers to manage.

Hiring takes months. Contractors need onboarding. Freelancers need context. And every engineer you add creates coordination overhead that dilutes the velocity you were trying to buy.

The work is real. The backlog is growing. Security patches, reliability improvements, test coverage, tech debt, and the feature work that keeps getting pushed. It all needs to get done. But adding headcount to get it done means managing more people, running more standups, and spending more of your time on coordination instead of product.

What if the work just got done?

Overline

A named technical lead. A proven platform. Results in your repo.

PermaShip Managed Engineering pairs you with a dedicated technical lead who runs our autonomous engineering platform on your behalf. They're not a contractor writing code in isolation. They're a technical partner who understands your codebase, your priorities, and your standards.

Scoping

Your technical lead runs a codebase assessment and works with you to identify the highest-impact work. Security gaps, reliability improvements, test coverage, tech debt, or feature development. You set the priorities. They build the plan.

Execution

PermaShip's autonomous agents run continuously on your codebase, governed by Nexus. Your technical lead oversees the output, reviews proposals, and ensures everything meets your standards before it reaches your repo.

Delivery

You receive pull requests with full context. Every PR includes the rationale, the evidence, and the review notes. Your team approves and merges on your schedule. Nothing ships without your sign-off.

Ongoing Partnership

Weekly syncs with your technical lead. Progress reports. Priority adjustments as your needs evolve. The engagement grows with your codebase.

Three Engagement Models

A project. A partnership.
An entire engineering function.

Three ways to work with us, depending on what you need and how deep you want to go.

A defined project with a clear scope, timeline, and deliverables. Your technical lead runs PermaShip against a specific set of objectives and delivers the results. Start and end dates. No open-ended commitment.

Best for: clearing a backlog of tech debt, hardening security before an audit, improving test coverage before a launch, or tackling a scoped feature build.

An ongoing engagement where your technical lead is a persistent part of your engineering operation. Weekly syncs, continuous execution, evolving priorities. PermaShip runs as your second engineering track with a human partner managing the relationship and the output.

Best for: teams that want sustained engineering leverage without adding headcount. The engagement compounds over time as the system learns your codebase, your standards, and your team's priorities.

Full engineering department coverage. Multiple technical leads, multiple workstreams, deep integration with your engineering organization. PermaShip doesn't just run a second track. It runs an entire parallel engineering function scoped to your roadmap, your standards, and your infrastructure.

This is a conversation, not a checkout. Every Department Partner engagement is custom-scoped. If your engineering needs have outgrown what a single technical lead can cover, let's talk about what this looks like for your organization.

Everything an engineer delivers. Nothing an engineer requires.

Pull requests with full context and review notes. Security patches. Reliability improvements. Test coverage. Feature development. Tech debt reduction. CI/CD improvements.

Delivered to your repo, on your schedule, governed by Nexus, reviewed by a named technical lead who knows your codebase. No recruiting. No onboarding. No standups. No management overhead.

Who This Is For

Built for teams that want output, not overhead.

founders-me

Founders who are stretched thin

You're building product, running the company, and the engineering backlog keeps growing. You need the work to get done without adding people to manage.

hiring-2-me

Engineering leaders who can't hire fast enough. 

You have approved headcount but hiring takes months. PermaShip Managed Engineering fills the gap while you recruit, then stays as a second track after you've hired.

milestones-3-me-1

Teams preparing for a milestone. 

An audit, a launch, a fundraise, a compliance review. You have a defined body of work that needs to get done on a deadline, and your team is already at capacity.

orgs-4-me-1

Orgs that need a parallel engineering function. 

Your engineering needs have outgrown a single technical lead or a scoped project. You need multiple workstreams running across your codebase with dedicated coverage. That's a Department Partner conversation.

Let's talk about what your second track looks like.

Every managed engagement starts with a conversation. No commitment, no pitch deck. We'll assess your codebase, understand your priorities, and tell you honestly whether PermaShip Managed Engineering is the right fit.
