Two ways to work with us

Embed senior engineers inside your team, or hand us the entire build. Same hand-picked squad, two engagement models.

Embedded squads

Senior engineers, inside your team

Tell us the roles you need. Say, three backend engineers, a designer, a QA, and a DevOps. We hand-pick seniors who plug directly into your team, your tools, and your standups. You direct the work; we handle everything behind it.

See the roles
  • Engineers work directly with you, day to day
  • One contract, one predictable monthly invoice
  • We handle contracts, payroll, and replacements
  • Scale the squad up or down as your roadmap changes

End-to-end delivery

Hand us the whole build

Have a product to ship but no team to ship it? Bring us the idea. Our in-house squad scopes it with you, then designs, builds, and takes it to production. Weekly demos, a single point of contact, no coordination overhead on your side.

See what we've shipped
  • A fixed senior team, assembled for your project
  • Design, build, deploy: spec to production
  • Weekly demos and transparent progress
  • You own the code and infrastructure from day one

(02) Roles

Every role you need to ship

A full engineering org, on tap. Hire one role or assemble a complete squad: manager, tech lead, backend, frontend, QA, DevOps, design, product.

  1. Sprint planning, stakeholder management, hiring loops, and the boring-but-critical work that keeps your team shipping every week.

    • Agile / Scrum
    • OKRs
    • 1:1 coaching
    • Roadmapping
  2. Architecture decisions, code reviews, mentoring juniors, and unblocking the team. The person who turns vague PM tickets into shippable specs.

    • System design
    • Code review
    • Mentorship
    • Tech strategy
  3. Production-grade services that don't wake people up at 3am. APIs, microservices, queues, workflows, and the hard parts of distributed systems.

    • Node.js / NestJS
    • PostgreSQL
    • Redis
    • Temporal
    • AWS
  4. Fast, accessible interfaces shipped from spec to production. Type-safe, tested, and built on patterns your team will still understand in 2 years.

    • React / Next.js
    • TypeScript
    • Tailwind
    • Testing
    • Design systems
  5. Test strategy, automation, and release confidence. Catches the regression before your customers do, and turns every deploy into a non-event.

    • Test automation
    • Playwright / Cypress
    • API testing
    • CI pipelines
  6. CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and cloud costs under control. Deploys that are boring, in the best possible way.

    • AWS
    • Docker / K8s
    • Terraform
    • CI/CD
    • Monitoring
  7. From early discovery to polished UI. Wireframes, prototypes, design systems, and the user research that prevents you from building the wrong thing.

    • Figma
    • Design systems
    • UX research
    • Prototyping
  8. Roadmaps that map to revenue. Specs your engineers can actually build. Discovery that kills bad ideas before they cost you a sprint.

    • Roadmapping
    • User research
    • Analytics
    • Prioritization

EduGestion (Tunisia)

Building a live multi-tenant SaaS for Tunisian training centers in five months

Visit edu-gestion.com: EduGestion (Tunisia) (opens in a new tab)

Took EduGestion from an empty repository to production in five months for a founder who came to us with specs and no engineering team. Private training centers across Tunisia run their classes, attendance, and billing on it today. And unlike most case studies, you can click it.

  1. Shipped a working product to real customers in five months. Training centers now run their daily operations on it, and the link below opens the live platform, not a prototype.

  2. Wired the platform into Tunisia's payment rails (D17, Flouci, and ClicToPay) with a dual confirmation path so no payment goes silently missing, even on a gateway that never reports success.

  3. Isolated every training center from day one. Onboarding the next customer is a signup, not a redeployment, and unpaid accounts drop to read-only without anyone chasing invoices.

  4. Installed the delivery process alongside the engineers: review gates, QA sign-off, and automatic deploys on every approved change, so the founder never had to manage the build.

(04) Process

From first call to live engineer in under 10 days

No long pitches. No 5-stage interview loops. We respect your time because we know what hiring costs you in opportunity.

  1. Day 0 · 30 minutes

    Discovery call

    Tell us the role you need filled, the stack, the timezone, the start date, and the budget. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and if not, who can.

    • Role spec written together
    • Stack & timezone confirmed
    • Pricing & start date agreed
  2. Within 7 days

    Hand-picked match

    We send you one or two senior profiles with context: what they've built, what they're great at, what they avoid. No CV blasts. No 12-candidate shortlists you have to wade through.

    • 1-2 vetted senior profiles
    • Past work + references
    • 30-min intro call with each
  3. 2-week trial

    Trial or replace. Your call.

    Embed them into your team for two weeks. If the chemistry, output, or fit isn't right, we replace them. No questions, no termination fees, no awkward conversation.

    • Full embed in your tools & rituals
    • Daily output, weekly check-ins
    • Replace anyone, no charge

Commercials

One contract. One monthly invoice.

You sign a single agreement with KernelSquad that covers your whole squad and receive one predictable invoice each month. We handle the engineers' contracts, payroll, and replacements behind the scenes. You work with the people, not the paperwork.

The squad brought reliability and auditability to a booking process that had been brittle for years. They didn't just ship features. They replaced a class of production incidents.”
