We are a USA-based team of senior software engineers.
Our expertise spans diverse domains:
We combine deep technical knowledge and hard-won experience with sophisticated AI development workflows to deliver robust, production-ready solutions with exceptional thoroughness, quality and speed.
"Josh Lehman and his team have been incredible for us, probably the best you could ever get when it comes to hiring engineering contractors. We're happy clients of theirs and will continue to be for any contracting work we need done."
Why work with Martian Engineering? We drop into large existing codebases with ease and ship the production systems your team is counting on.
Our breadth of experience lets us learn unfamiliar stacks quickly and contribute to large, complex codebases without slowing your team down.
As founders and former CTOs, we take ownership of outcomes—you outline the objective and we drive it to completion.
We pair distributed-systems instincts with AI-native workflows to move fast while preserving the quality required for mission-critical software.
