Engage

Work with Arc Labs.

We take on a small number of engagements at a time, in the same areas we build in ourselves.

Services
01

Product Engineering

From an idea to software people use: web applications, native Apple apps, command-line tools and the services behind them. We design it, build it, ship it, and can keep running what we ship.

02

Security Review

A second look at the systems that rarely get one: internal tools, admin dashboards, small web apps and AI features. We read the code, work out how it could be misused, report what we find in plain language, and help fix it.

03

Applied AI

Features that use language models where they help and hold back where they should not act alone. Drafts a person approves, clear limits on what runs unattended, and a choice of model provider, including local models when the data has to stay put.

How It Runs
01

A Conversation First

You describe the problem. We say plainly whether we are the right people for it.

02

A Written Scope

What will be built or reviewed, roughly how long it should take, and what it costs, agreed before work starts.

03

Working Software Early

You see running software early and often, rather than a reveal at the end.

04

Handover

You receive the source and the documentation. We can keep running it, or your team can.

05

Confidential by Default

We describe client work without names, and name a client only with their permission.
