Bitwise·Engineering

Services

Engineering for systems that need to hold up.

Our work clusters into agentic AI, systems engineering, and short-form engagements. Pick the shape that matches where you are.

01 / Agentic

Agent infrastructure

The substrate production agents need: memory, tool-use, evaluation loops, observability, guardrails.

good fit when → your agent works in dev, breaks under real traffic

not a fit when → you're still validating whether to build an agent at all

02 / Agentic

AI integration

Embedding LLMs and agents into existing products without rebuilding the product around them.

good fit when → you have a real product and a small AI surface area to add

not a fit when → you want a brand-new AI-native greenfield product

03 / Systems

Distributed systems

Backend architecture, scaling, event-driven coordination, multi-tenant data isolation.

good fit when → traffic is growing faster than the architecture

not a fit when → you need a single-tenant CRUD app — you can do that in-house

04 / Systems

Data platforms

Pipelines, warehouses, analytics infrastructure that holds up when the dashboards stop being optional.

good fit when → analytics is becoming load-bearing

not a fit when → you're still in the spreadsheet era and want to stay there

05 / Engagement

Architect on call

Recurring senior review on a small retainer — design reviews, code reviews, second opinions.

good fit when → you have a team, but no one to bounce hard calls off

not a fit when → you need someone hands-on-keyboard daily

06 / Engagement

Discovery & due diligence

2-4 week engagement that ends with an architecture document and a recommendation you can act on.

good fit when → leadership needs an outside read before committing

not a fit when → the decision is already made and you want validation

What an engagement looks like

Discovery

2-4 weeks

An outside read on the architecture you have or are about to commit to. Ends with an architecture document and an actionable recommendation.

Build / integrate

1-6 months (typical)

We help your team build the integration that's blocking production. Help, not replace — the work product stays yours.

Architect on call

Open retainer

Recurring design and code review. A senior second mind on a small retainer, available for the hard calls.
