HIRE // CONTRACT WORK

Available for Contract Engagements

I'm JJ, the engineer behind SystemForge. Alongside the studio's productised systems, I take on select contract engagements directly — for teams that need a dedicated engineer, a technical co-founder for a sprint, or a specialist who can own a system end-to-end.

Every SystemForge system was built by me, solo, in production. That's the standard I bring to contract work.

ENGAGEMENTS // WHAT I TAKE ON

Three types of work I do well.

Each engagement is scoped in writing, priced before I start, and delivered by me directly — no subcontractors.

4 – 12 weeks

Dedicated Build Engagement

You have a system to build but need a full-time engineer embedded in your team. I work as your dedicated developer: daily standups, your Slack, your Jira, your repo. You get the output of a senior engineer without the hiring overhead.

Suitable for

  • MVPs and v1 product builds
  • Complex internal tools and dashboards
  • System rewrites or platform migrations
Ongoing or fixed sprint

Technical Advisory / CTO-for-Hire

Early-stage startup or SME that needs technical leadership without a full-time CTO. Architecture decisions, tech stack selection, vendor evaluation, system design, team code reviews, and engineering interview support.

Suitable for

  • Founder-led startups pre-CTO hire
  • SMEs evaluating new software vendors
  • Teams needing architecture guidance
1 – 4 weeks

Specific Feature or Integration

You have an existing system but need a specific module, a third-party integration (Tally, Zoho, SAP-lite, Razorpay, Exotel), or a performance fix. Agreed scope, transparent estimate — I scope it in a document and confirm the price before writing a line of code.

Suitable for

  • Tally / Zoho / ERP integrations
  • Reporting and analytics modules
  • Performance or security fixes

PROCESS // HOW I WORK

Clear terms, clear deliverables.

  • Contract duration

    From 2 weeks to 6 months. No lock-in beyond the agreed scope.

  • Location

    Remote-first. Available for on-site in Delhi NCR and Gurgaon.

  • Pricing

    Project-based or daily rate — disclosed on my intro call. No ambiguity: the number is in writing before work starts.

  • Stack

    Next.js, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL. The exact same stack behind every SystemForge system — no new learning curve for me.

What every engagement includes

  • Written scope document before any code is written
  • Daily or weekly status updates (your choice)
  • Source code ownership on delivery — no lock-in
  • Deployment guide and handover documentation
  • One round of post-delivery bug fixes (14 days)

Not available for

  • Agency subcontracting at below-market rates
  • Offshore staffing / body-shop arrangements
  • Maintenance retainers for systems I did not build

These filters aren't about ego. They're about fit — clients who want cheap offshore work and clients who want expertise are looking for different things. I want engagements where I can do my best work.

Just looking for a system?

SystemForge Studio has 24 ready-to-scope operational systems.

If you need one of my productised systems — shift handover, compliance tracking, vendor scorecards — you don't need to hire me directly. Buy the system.

Let's talk about what you're building.

A 30-minute discovery call costs nothing. I'll figure out if there's a fit, what the scope looks like, and what a realistic timeline would be.
