Transparent rate: $25/hour

Lower delivery risk

Use scoped responsibilities, review gates, and release-ready handoffs to reduce rework.

Planning target: fewer backend defects over 2-3 sprints

AI-assisted delivery when useful

Use AI to speed boilerplate, test scenarios, data mapping, and workflow documentation while keeping backend logic reviewed.

Applied only where it improves speed, coverage, or cost

Flexible scale path

Start with one specialist and expand to a small pod when roadmap pressure increases.

Client stories

Trusted by teams that ship fast

Real feedback from partnerships where we embedded with product teams, accelerated delivery, and stayed accountable to outcomes.

What stood out was how quickly they understood both our codebase and business constraints. Their developer contributed meaningful pull requests in week one, improved our testing discipline, and proactively flagged architecture risks before they became expensive problems. It felt less like hiring a contractor and more like adding a senior teammate.

EM

Elena M.

VP Engineering, Fintech Platform

Before working with Codexty, feature delivery took us 10 to 12 weeks because we were bottlenecked on implementation. After onboarding their engineer, we cut that cycle nearly in half and launched our new customer workflow in 6 weeks. The quality bar stayed high, and post-release bug volume was lower than our previous two launches.

MS

Mark S.

Product Lead, E-commerce Brand

Our biggest concern was scalability during a period of rapid growth, and their team handled it with confidence. They refactored key backend services, introduced safer deployment practices, and helped us scale traffic without downtime during peak usage windows. We saw immediate performance gains and far fewer late-night incidents.
