Retainers
Ongoing Engineering: a senior engineer on your product, every week
A fractional engineering team that behaves like an in-house one. The same senior engineer works your roadmap every week, ships features, clears technical debt, and handles what breaks — with progress you can see, not status reports you have to trust.

Typical shape: weekly cadence, visible progress every week, cancel any time — the work should earn its renewal.
What it is
Ongoing Engineering, in plain terms
The engagement most clients end up in. A fixed weekly arrangement with the same senior engineer: shipping features, clearing the roadmap, handling what breaks. You get a standing team without hiring one.
Who it’s for
A good fit if you are…
- Founders who have launched and now need a roadmap shipped without hiring a full-time team
- Businesses running on software nobody in-house can maintain
- Products coming out of a rescue or a launch that need continuity
What’s included
What the work covers
- The same senior engineer every week — no hand-offs, no account managers
- A fixed weekly cadence with visible progress in your repository
- Feature delivery, bug fixes, and technical-debt cleanup on one prioritised list
- Code review, tests where they matter, and documentation that stays current
- Direct access to the engineer doing the work
Questions
Ongoing Engineering: common questions
- Is there a minimum commitment?
- The arrangement is weekly and can be cancelled at any time. It is designed so the work has to earn its renewal.
- Who will I actually be working with?
- The engineer who scoped the work. Gitrex is a small senior team and the person you meet on the first call is the person who ships.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. Work happens in your repository and your infrastructure accounts from day one, so nothing is held hostage if you stop.
- Can the retainer start before the product is finished?
- Yes. Ongoing Engineering often begins as the tail end of a Rescue & Launch sprint or a new build, so there is no gap between launching and iterating.
