Senior US engineers who have already built in fintech and wealthtech, directing a suite of AI agents to ship your product up to 10x faster. Pay by the outcome, or for their time by the month. You own everything we build.




Fintech is the hardest place to ship software and the least forgiving place to ship it badly. Payments, ledgers, KYC, regulated data, audit trails, and integrations that cannot go down. You do not want a developer learning your domain on your dime.
Fraction is an AI-era software factory: senior US engineers directing AI agents to build software end to end. We were founded by an operator who built and scaled a financial services platform, HiddenLevers, and sold it to Orion in 2021, so fintech is not a vertical we wandered into. For your build, we place developers who have already shipped regulated financial software, then accelerate them with AI so they move in a fraction of the usual time. The engineer directs the agents and reviews every line.
Hire a developer to augment your team, or have us build the whole product. Either way you own the code, there is no team to hire or manage, and you know the cost before work starts.
Senior engineers who have shipped secure financial apps, from consultation and design through development, testing, and deployment, built to the security standards fintech demands and accelerated by AI.
Core banking integrations, payments and processing, and fraud detection, built by senior US engineers who have worked in regulated banking software.
Update legacy systems, keep compliance current, and move to modern stacks, including new technology such as LLM integration, with ongoing support.
Bring a feature, a backlog, or a full product idea. We scope it and give you a plan and a cost before any work begins.
US-based, 10+ years on average, vetted by an MIT engineer who specializes in fintech, and matched to your stack and your corner of the industry.
Your engineer runs a suite of AI agents to move up to 10x faster and reviews everything that ships. An included software architect guides the build and a project manager keeps it on track.
No subscriptions, no lock-in, no platform to stay on. The code is yours.
No junior candidates. Vetted by an MIT engineer who specializes in fintech, and matched on both stack and domain experience.
Each engineer directs a suite of AI agents to ship up to 10x faster, and reviews everything the agents produce.
Real-time on your Slack or Teams, in your timezone, with no communication barrier.
We manage vetting, matching, and the day to day so you do not have to.
Ramp up, add expertise, or wind a project down as your needs change.
Everything we build is yours, with no lock-in.
There are two ways to pay, and you choose the one that fits how you work. Every engagement starts at $6,000/month.
We scope the work, price it upfront, and you pay as features ship. No hourly billing and no surprises.
Best when you have a defined product or set of features to build, and pricing is set per project once we scope it.
Bring on a senior developer for a set amount of time each month and direct the work yourself. Best when you are augmenting an existing team.
Engagements start at $6,000/month and scale with the time commitment.

For years the math favored renting. Building software meant a big team and a long timeline, so you paid a monthly subscription for a tool that almost fit. AI changed that math. With senior US engineers directing AI agents, custom software your firm owns outright is faster and cheaper to build than it has ever been, and for many of the tools you rent today, owning now costs less than subscribing.
This is sharpest in wealthtech. If you run an advisory firm, our free tool Burn the Map lets you map the vendors in your stack and see which ones cost more to rent than to build and own. Pick your tools, see the math, and find what you would save by owning instead of subscribing. When you decide to replace one, we build it, your firm owns it, and the subscription stops.
Founded by an operator who built and sold a fintech company, HiddenLevers, to Orion in 2021. 175+ companies served. 7 days risk-free to start.
