Two platforms, engineered deep.

We picked two platforms and went deep instead of spreading thin across twelve. The result is engineering that knows the edge cases before you hit them.

04 / 06How we work

A process built for ambitious builds — no slide decks, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We audit your current stack, map your business logic, and identify what is actually costing you revenue versus what just feels broken.

    Technical audit document with prioritized action plan.
  2. 02

    Architect

    Data models, integration map, infrastructure plan. We define the system before touching code so there are no surprises at launch.

    Architecture spec, data flow diagrams, timeline.
  3. 03

    Build

    Two-week sprints with deployable increments. You review working code, not slide decks. Senior engineers only, no handoff chains.

    Staging environment updated every sprint.
  4. 04

    Ship

    Cutover plan with rollback steps. We handle DNS, CDN config, cache warming, and post-launch monitoring so launch day is quiet.

    Production deployment, monitoring dashboards, launch checklist.
  5. 05

    Care

    Ongoing retainer for performance, security patches, feature work, and the things that always come up after launch. We stay as long as you need.

    Monthly health reports, prioritized backlog, SLA-backed support.

Portrait of Arun Arya

Arun Arya

Cofounder · Engineering

You should talk to the person building your store, not someone managing the person building your store.

Codifier started because I spent a decade watching agencies sell senior talent and staff with juniors. The client pays for experience, then gets a project manager relaying questions to a developer who has never spoken to the business.

We work differently. Every engineer here has 8+ years of ecommerce depth. No junior pass-throughs, no account managers as middlemen. When you message us, an engineer answers. When you review a sprint, the person who wrote the code walks you through it.

Portrait of Bhoomika

Bhoomika

Cofounder · Operations

Senior engineering only lands if the work around it runs cleanly — scope, people, paperwork, follow-through.

12+ years running operations across services firms. I worked alongside Arun at Codifier in its early years and am now back as a cofounder to own the operating system around the engineering.

That means client onboarding, sprint cadence, the contracts and NDAs nobody enjoys, and the standards that keep a senior-only team senior. You won't message a generic ops inbox — you'll message me directly.

Common questions

Most of what people ask before signing.

Still curious? The fastest answer is a 30-minute discovery call — same person you would work with.

Book a call
01How does timezone overlap work with India?
We operate on IST but explicitly staff for overlap. US East Coast clients get morning standups (their 8–11am), Europe gets their full afternoon, and the West Coast gets late-day overlap. Async-first written handoffs cover the rest. Most clients say it feels like working with a local team that ships overnight.
02What engagement models do you offer?

Three models, switchable mid-engagement if the work shape changes:

  • Fixed-scope project — migrations, rebuilds, defined deliverables with a not-to-exceed cap.
  • Monthly retainer — 8 to 80 hours, blended team, predictable monthly burn.
  • Embedded engineer — one of us inside your Slack and sprint cadence, full-time or part-time.
03Do you sign NDAs?
Yes — bilateral, mutual NDA before any discovery work begins. We can also work under your paper. Most of our case studies are anonymized for this reason.
04What does pricing look like?
Senior-engineer day rates land roughly half of comparable US/EU agencies, without juniors silently consuming budget. Discovery calls are free; we share a written estimate with a not-to-exceed cap before any work begins. Retainers from $4.8k/mo.
05What happens if we want to leave?
You own the code, the infrastructure, and the documentation from day one. No proprietary frameworks, no lock-in. We write handoff documentation as standard, and we will brief your next team for free.
06Can you migrate us from Magento 2 to Shopify Plus?
Yes — it is one of our most common engagements. Typical timeline is 6–12 weeks depending on catalog size and integration count. We do data mapping, theme rebuild, third-party reconnection, cutover plan, and 30 days of post-launch hypercare.
07How large is the team?
Twelve engineers, deliberately. We turn down work to stay this size. Every engagement has a named lead engineer (your direct contact) and a second engineer for context and continuity.
06 / 06Let's talk

Tell us what's broken. We'll tell you what it takes to fix it.

30-minute call with a senior engineer. No sales deck, no discovery fee. Just a clear-eyed look at your stack and what we would do differently.
