senior software & ai engineering

Bring us the hard thing.
It’s what we’re here for.

Bash Squad is a small crew of senior software engineers. We build websites, apps, integrations, and the systems your business runs on.

Hire us for one project, or make us your whole engineering team.

>01what we do

We solve problems. The tech is just how we get there.

We’re engineers first, so our integrations hold up and our AI does real work, not demos. Here’s the short list of what people hire us for.

Custom software & websites

From a marketing site to a full web or mobile app to the internal tool nobody sells off the shelf. Real engineering, built to last and easy to hand off.

webmobileinternal tools

Integrations & syncs

Make the tools you already pay for talk to each other. A clean sync between two systems, an API you need wired up, data that stops living in three places.

AI that earns its keep

Agents, automation, and AI features tied to a real outcome, not a demo. Where AI generates reliably, we let it; where it quietly makes things worse, we don't pretend otherwise. Every line ships at the same bar as hand-written code.

Legacy modernization

Your old system works, which is exactly what makes changing it risky. We modernize it without breaking what's running or taking down what can't go down, and leave your own people able to run it.

Vibe-code rescue

AI got you 70–80% of the way. The last 20–30% is the part that survives real users, real data, and real payments. We fix the bugs, close the security holes, and take it from “looks finished” to “in production.”

Your engineering team

No senior engineers on staff? Embed us. We own the work like it's ours (planning, building, shipping) and the context compounds instead of resetting with every new vendor. Senior output, no headcount, no ramp.

Not sure which bucket you’re in? That’s normal. Describe it in plain words and we’ll sort it.

>02own your stack

Take control of your data.

Rented tools are fine until one raises prices, breaks, or shuts down. We build on proven foundations you can own: self-hosted where it counts, hosted where it earns it, and never a stack that holds your business hostage.

Integrations aren’t on the list because they aren’t a list. If it has an API and docs, we’ll wire it up. And if a tool is holding your data hostage, we’ll move you out.

Things we've built.

A mix of our own products and open-source tools.

realtime product

A Slack-style team chat app: channels, threads, huddles, reactions, presence, and full message history. End-to-end encrypted and self-hostable, so your team's conversations live on your servers, not someone else's.

A native macOS markdown editor for developers driving AI agents: edit CLAUDE.md files, run agent sessions in embedded terminals, and stay in flow without hopping between windows.

>04who we help

Find the one that sounds like you.

Most people who call us fall into one of these four. Pick your situation. The fix is the same either way: real engineers who’ve done it before.

None of these? That’s fine. Most projects are a mix. Tell us anyway.

>05how it works

We meet you where you are.

No two projects start the same. A single integration and a hospital-wide modernization need very different amounts of planning, so the process matches the work: lightweight when it can be, thorough when it has to be. What never changes: you know what it costs, where it stands, and who’s building it.

>06book

Tell us the hard thing.

Two minutes. An engineer reads every one of these. No bots, no SDR cadence. Whether it's broken, half-built, or just an idea, if we're not the right fit we'll say so.

No spam, no sales reps. One engineer, one reply.

Rather just email?

Skip the form. Write it however you like; the same engineer reads it either way.

what happens next

An engineer reads your note (no triage bot, no lead scoring) and replies fast, usually within 1 business day. If it looks like a fit, we offer a few times for a 25-minute call.
