Scryent
fractional staff engineer
Staff-level judgment, without the staff-level hire.
You have good engineers and a backlog of problems above their pay grade: flaky pipelines, missing tests, the refactor everyone routes around. I embed with your team, fix the hard things, and leave your seniors stronger than I found them.
What embedding looks like
- CI/CD that ships. Pipelines your team trusts: fast, deterministic, and boring. Deploys stop being events.
- Automated testing culture. Not a coverage number. A team habit: tests that catch real regressions, written as part of the work, not after it.
- The hard fixes. The migration that has slipped three quarters. The race condition nobody can reproduce. The module with a "do not touch" comment. I take those.
- Mentoring seniors. Pairing, design review, and honest feedback. The goal is a team that does not need me.
From a CTO I worked with
Jordan has great communication skills and you can always count on his word, something that is very critical for a distributed team.
Jordan helped bring our team up to speed on best practices around automated testing, continuous integration and deployment. His passion for quality and strive for perfection (100% code coverage!) is inspiring.
How it works
Part-time, ongoing, inside your repos and your standups. I write code, review code, and raise the bar for both. You get staff-level leverage on the problems that matter without a six-month hiring search.
