Senior engineering, without the headcount.

Automata is the senior engineering team you bring on instead of hiring.


We're Marc and Ralph Ghannam, two senior engineers from Boston with 14 years of combined experience shipping production software for founders. Our team has built at companies like Chainlink and TireTutor, and we bring that same standard to every engagement.


Hiring a senior engineer costs $150k+ all-in, takes months to fill, and is a year-long bet on one person. We're the alternative: a full engineering team that designs, builds, and ships your product for less than the cost of one hire. Senior from day one, with no ramp, no equity, and no headcount on your books. When a project needs more hands, we pull from a vetted network of senior engineers and scale to fit.


What we build: full-stack web and mobile applications, custom software, AI chat and voice agents, and the backend and workflow automation that ties it all together. When you're ready to grow demand, we run the growth layer too, including websites that convert, SEO and generative engine optimization (GEO), outreach automation, and CRM integration. The engineering always comes first.


We work best with founders, owners, and operators who are serious about growth and want direct access to the engineers building their product, not a bloated agency relationship. You get fast turnarounds and systems that keep running long after we're done.


Based in Boston, MA. Serving clients across the US and the world.
