Augmented Engineering Program · JST6
Externalized tech lead. No permanent hire.
Replace a senior hire (€120–150k) with an augmented delivery workshop: AI agents + iASSET gates + Founding Engineer. €4,500/month for 10 months — 1–2 focused days/week, cloud included. For CTOs and founders who want throughput, not meeting theater.

A delivery rhythm — not meeting theater
Senior mission without a permanent hire: you keep continuous pulse; the workshop keeps focus blocks to ship.
Classic hire / permanent role
2–4 months to hire, €12–15k/month fully loaded, N imposed meetings, lost context at every sync — the illusion of control at the expense of throughput.
AEP method
Externalized tech lead in 1 week: 1–2 concentrated days per week for deep work, instant sync outside those blocks, weekly Founding Engineer review + iASSET pipeline.
Protected days
1–2 days / week dedicated to shipping — not chaining calls
Instant sync
Slack (or equivalent) for urgencies and short decisions, without an imposed daily
Clear governance
Weekly Founding Engineer review + iASSET gates — control without the noise
The orchestrator in action
The bottleneck is no longer code. It's review, gates and product relationship.
Product spec
Versioned intent, typed contracts
Agents
Claude, Cursor, specialized agents
iASSET gates
Review, tests, security, observability
Cloud prod
Sovereign deployment included
How does the Gate work?
Each iASSET letter = a versioned skill or rule in the repo. The agent executes within this frame; the Gate decides before prod.
- Gate
.cursor/rules/architecture.mdcExplicit structure: gateway/, proto/, services/. No generation in lib/domain/. Respect edge / internal boundaries.
Agentized CI chain
Fixed order on every push — skills operate on the diff, not on runtime.
Founding Engineer review remains mandatory on every prod merge — still master, not be mastered.
Animated journey — hover to pause, click a letter to explore.
3 AEP slots
Each client = 1 isolated pipeline. Admission based on iASSET fit (standard stack, scoped perimeter).
3 pipelines max — gate quality guaranteed
No fake urgency — transparent capacity to guarantee gate quality.
Two workshop modes — same iASSET framework
Same price, same standards, same control pipeline over 10 months.
Team workshop
Agents accelerate your team
Your devs gain velocity under the iASSET framework. Rituals, conventions and gates so AI becomes a measurable lever.
- Shared pipeline: spec, CI, agents, monitoring
- Upskilling: devs in a safe perimeter
- Deliverables: arch diagrams, merge checklists, risk-zone tests
From-scratch workshop
Full pipeline: spec → MVP → prod → hiring
The workshop ships your product to production. Then hiring support for a clean handover.
- MVP in production: product priorities, controlled debt
- Team transition: profiles, interviews, onboarding
- Runway preserved: €45,000 over 10 months vs €120–150k senior

Indicative estimate — AEP includes agents, cloud and gates. Senior side: hiring, management and DevOps often extra.
Why €4,500/month changes the game
| AEP | Senior CDI | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | €4,500 | €12,000–15,000 |
| Model | Agent workshop + orchestration | Human time |
| Rhythm | 1–2 focused days + instant sync | Fragmented calendar, meetings |
| Cloud deployment | Included | Separate DevOps |
| Time to start | 1 week | 2–4 months (hiring) |
| Commitment | 10 months | Permanent, notice period |
Already shipping with demanding teams
Same delivery bar as a founding engineer on mission.
“Ruthlessly effective — he ships a first version with high autonomy and maximum efficiency.”
“He built the front and back architecture, secured for health data. Highly recommended!”
Typical stack & context
Go, NestJS, Python, FastAPI, React Native, sovereign cloud — clear boundaries (API, data, deployment) before complexity.
