Rails staff augmentation that ships.

Augment your team with senior Rails depth

Most Rails staff augmentation goes wrong in one of two ways: you get a generalist who's learning Rails on your timeline, or you get a name on an agency roster you never actually work with. Levelbrook is neither. You get a senior Ruby on Rails engineer who has owned Rails, PostgreSQL and AWS in production for six-plus years, available on contract and billed corp-to-corp.

This is single-consultant staff augmentation done honestly — the engineer who scopes the work is the engineer who does it. For overflow we can bring in vetted senior Rails peers from a small trusted network, transparently, with delivery staying on us.

Where a senior Rails contractor moves the needle

• Velocity without the hiring lag. A productive senior in days, not the months a full-time hire takes to land and ramp.
• The hard Rails problems. N+1 storms, Sidekiq pipelines that fall over, Postgres that's outgrown its indexes, an AWS bill with teeth.
• Hotwire done right. Real-time UI with Turbo and Stimulus — interactive product without a React rewrite.
• API and integration work. Public APIs, third-party data imports, OAuth/SSO that survives a security review.

Proven on a real codebase at scale

The work behind Levelbrook isn't theoretical. It's six years on a multi-tenant Rails SaaS in the $5–15M ARR range — counting 800-million-row tables without melting the database, auditing 319 sites for N+1s in an afternoon, and cutting an S3 bill ~60% by treating access patterns as the unit of work.
