Product Engineering built for GovTech companies
What is Product Engineering?
We treat engineering as a product function, not a ticket-closing factory. For GovTech companies, this means navigating WCAG accessibility standards, FedRAMP (US) while shipping fast.
Who needs Product Engineering for GovTech?
- Legacy government systems resistant to modernization
- Strict accessibility and compliance requirements
- Long procurement cycles slowing delivery
- Engineering executing roadmaps with no product input
- Features shipped that customers never asked for

Most Product Engineering engagements take Ongoing, quarterly engagement, depending on scope and how clear the requirements are upfront. We'll give you a firm timeline estimate after a short discovery call, not a generic range.
Product Engineering projects with us typically range from $20,000 - $90,000 per month, scaled to the complexity of your requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises mid-project.
For product engineering, we typically work with React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, chosen based on your specific scalability and integration requirements. We're not tied to a single stack and will recommend the right tools for your situation rather than our default.
A typical product engineering engagement includes product discovery and technical feasibility input, along with the other deliverables outlined in our proposal, such as documentation and a post-launch support window. The exact scope is tailored to your project during discovery.
Most clients come to us for product engineering because of engineering executing roadmaps with no product input, among other related challenges. We start every engagement by mapping your specific pain points before writing a single line of code.
We've delivered multiple govtech projects addressing challenges like legacy government systems resistant to modernization. We helped a municipal government cut permit processing time by 50% with a digital application portal.
For govtech clients, we pay close attention to WCAG accessibility standards, FedRAMP (US), building these requirements into the architecture from day one rather than retrofitting them later. We'll confirm which specific regulations apply to your business during discovery.
The most common challenges we solve for govtech clients include legacy government systems resistant to modernization and strict accessibility and compliance requirements. We tailor our discovery process to surface the specific version of these problems your business faces.
