Kulli & Co.
Forward Deployed Engineering for startups.
We embed a senior team inside your startup, deploy and ship the hard things in production, and hand back clean systems your people own. US-caliber, dollar-smart, and timezone coverage that means you wake up to progress.
- Senior-led
- Embedded, not offshore
- Built to hand back
What we do
Five lines of work, one embedded pod.
Forward Deployed Engineering
An embedded senior pod that deploys, integrates, and ships your hardest technical work in production — deploying AI into real customers, integrations, migrations, launches.
Technical Due Diligence
An honest, deep read of a codebase before you invest, acquire, or bet on it.
Fractional-CTO-level direction
Senior architecture, delivery discipline, and technical leadership guiding the pod.
Cloud & platform, commerce, data
AWS + Azure, IaC and CI/CD; e-commerce and retail tech; analytics you can trust — the depth behind the pod.
Recent work
- Cut a company's cloud + CI spend by double digits
- Migrated CI to zero-secret OIDC
- Stood up a review-gated delivery org from scratch
Why it works for US startups
Head of Engineering for a 21-store omnichannel retail brand; hands-on across cloud, commerce, mobile, and data.
- Senior-led, not offshore-junior.
- A former Head of Engineering leads every engagement — a trusted senior pod, not a rotating pool of contractors.
- Embedded, not thrown over the wall.
- We work inside your stack and your team, deploying in production — not delivering a spec and disappearing.
- Timezone is a feature.
- Our day overlaps your morning for live calls and covers your off-hours — brief us at 6pm, review progress at 9am.
- Dollar-smart.
- US-caliber delivery at a fraction of hiring the team yourself — because our cost base is efficient, not because the work is.
- Built to hand back.
- Clean, documented, version-controlled — no lock-in. References on request.
