YC & Early Startups <5 Employees • Founder-Led Engineering

I own your backend integrations so they never break your product.

Third-party API changes and webhooks shouldn't steal your core team's focus. Get a dedicated integration engineer—100% async, zero meetings, complete automated test coverage, and bulletproof reliability.

"Hey team! Executed the 4-hour trial task. Fixed the Stripe webhook handler for the new API version, added fallback retries, and wrote 6 Jest integration tests. Clean to merge!"

Time-Bounded & Explicit

What Fits in the 4-Hour Trial Sprint?

To keep trial turnaround fast (delivered within 48 hours) and completely risk-free ($150 if merged, $0 if not), we focus on tight, high-impact micro-tasks.

4-HOUR TRIAL SCOPE 48-Hour Delivery

Included in the $150 / $0 Micro-Trial

  • Fix 1 Broken API or Webhook Endpoint:

    Resolve silent failures, signature validation bugs, or unhandled payloads in Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, etc.

  • Write Automated Test Suite:

    Comprehensive Unit & Integration tests (Jest/Vitest/PyTest) with mocked sandbox fixtures.

  • Add Schema Validation & Retry Fallbacks:

    Implement exponential backoffs and graceful degradation if third-party APIs go down.

  • GitHub PR + 90s Loom Video:

    Complete code breakdown showing tests passing asynchronously without needing a call.

MONTHLY RETAINER SCOPE 10–15 Hours / Week

Saved for Ongoing Retainer ($2k-$2.5k/mo)

  • Building Multiple Multi-Service Integrations:

    Connecting complex custom ERPs, multi-tenant billing systems, or large CRM sync pipelines.

  • Continuous Third-Party API Version Migrations:

    Tracking breaking changes across all external providers and keeping dependencies modern.

  • Proactive Monitoring & Bug Fix Ownership:

    Ongoing monitoring of webhook dead-letter queues and instant fix PRs when exceptions trigger.

  • 30-Day Predictable Offboarding Notice:

    Standard 30-day notice period (or optional 15-day minimum window) for smooth engineering handoff.

Complete Integration Ownership

Focus on your core product. I handle the rest.

You don't need a $180k/yr full-time backend engineer just to maintain 3rd-party APIs and fix breaking webhooks.

New API Integrations

Need Stripe Billing, OpenAI vector embeddings, PostHog events, or custom ERP sync? Drop a Slack request, and I build clean wrappers, handlers, and error fallbacks.

Complete Automated Test Suites

Every single integration I deliver comes with Unit, Integration, and End-to-End tests using Jest, Vitest, or PyTest so regressions never reach production.

Schema Break Prevention

Third-party APIs silently change parameters and deprecate endpoints. I monitor schema shifts, handle version upgrades, and keep your pipelines operating smoothly.

Active Webhook Maintenance

Handling rate-limits, exponential backoffs, idempotent event processing, and dead-letter queues to guarantee zero data loss during high load.

Clean Native Codebases

No messy low-code hacks or fragile Zapier chains. Direct, typed TypeScript, Node.js, Python, or Go code integrated straight into your existing main repo via GitHub PRs.

Continuous Optimization

Proactive optimization of API payload latencies, caching token responses, and reducing third-party cost overruns on services like OpenAI and Resend.

Zero Meeting Overhead

100% Asynchronous Collaboration

You shouldn't spend 3 hours explaining a webhook task on Zoom. Here is how Syncify operates alongside your startup.

1

Async Task Assignment (Slack / Notion)

Founders post a brief specification or snippet in Slack: "We need to integrate Stripe Metered Billing for our API endpoint."

2

Execution & Test Suite Construction

I build the backend integration independently, construct 100% automated test coverage (Unit & Integration), and handle edge cases.

3

GitHub PR + 90-Second Loom Breakdown

You receive a clean PR passing all CI checks, along with a concise Loom video showing tests passing and API behavior in sandbox.

Total Meeting Time Required: 0 Minutes
15 Hrs/Wk High Impact

Simple & Risk-Free Engagement

Test the partnership with zero risk.

Start with a $0-risk trial, then negotiate a flexible monthly retainer ($2,000 to $2,500) matched to your exact scope.

100% Risk-Free Trial

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the $150 / $0 Risk-Free Trial work?

You give me access to 1 broken webhook or integration issue. I spend up to 4 hours solving it, writing automated tests, and submitting a clean Pull Request + Loom video within 48 hours. If you merge the PR into your codebase, it's $150. If you aren't satisfied, you pay $0. Zero risk.

What is the 30-day notice period policy for retainers?

All monthly retainers operate on a month-to-month agreement. If your startup's needs change or you hire a full-time engineer, we ask for a standard 30-day notice period (or 15 days minimum upon agreement) to complete ongoing PRs, document integrations, and ensure a seamless handoff.

How do the flexible retainer tiers ($2,000–$2,500/mo) work?

If your budget is tighter, we can start at $2,000/mo focusing exclusively on maintenance and fixing broken API endpoints (~10 hrs/wk, no automated test suites). If you need unit tests, new endpoints, and comprehensive integration/E2E regression guards, we scale up to $2,200, $2,400, or $2,500/mo (~12–15 hrs/wk).

Why 100% asynchronous without weekly Zoom calls?

Early-stage startup founders need uninterrupted deep-work time. By handling all updates via Slack messages, PR descriptions, and Loom videos, I deliver high-impact engineering without taking up your schedule.
