Software factories for engineering teams

Ship more with the engineering team you have.

DomeWorks helps your team build and adopt a software factory: agent workflows that take work from clear requirements through implementation, testing, and review. We bring the experience to make it work in your codebase, with quality and model costs under control.

Who this is for

Engineering leaders at product and SaaS teams of about 10–50 engineers, and services companies scaling agent-assisted delivery.

01

Using agents is a start. Getting more work into production takes a system.

Your engineers may already use coding agents every day. But small changes still wait, reviews pile up, and releases need too much manual checking. Adding a couple of fields to an internal tool should not have to wait weeks to reach production.

We connect the workflow around the agents so your team can ship with confidence. Clear requirements go in. Changes are built and tested in your environment, checked against what was asked for, and reviewed before release.

02 · What we build and embed

A software factory your team can use every day

Give agents what they need

Clear requirements, current codebase context, and working environments where agents can run and test changes. Less guessing, fewer avoidable revisions.

Put checks where they matter

Automated verification and human review suited to the risk of each change. Give reviewers evidence that the work meets its requirements and is ready to release.

Use models deliberately

Choose models for the work, assess their output, and account for the cost of retries and review. Balance capability and cost across the whole workflow.

Make it work for the team

Work alongside your engineers on real tasks. Build shared habits, document the setup, and help the team maintain and extend it as part of everyday delivery.

03 · In practice

We run on what we build

At DomeWorks, agents triage incoming work, specialists take a first pass, and a review gate checks the output before it reaches me. The case below shows that system running our own operations. It is where we put context, coordination, and review into daily use.

We run our own business on the systems we build

A working AI operating system — request triage, a review gate, and a daily briefing — running the practice end to end.

04 · How we work

Start with one useful workflow. Build it, embed it, then expand.

Eng OS Audit

Find what is slowing delivery, establish a baseline, and choose the first workflow worth building. Leave with a prioritized roadmap and a priced scope for the sprint.

Software Factory Sprint

We build the workflow in your repo and CI: context, agent implementation, tests, review gates, and model choices. Then we work with your engineers to put it into everyday use.

Ongoing · $5–20k/mo

AI Ops Partner

An optional partnership to expand into more workflows, support adoption, and tune model choices as the work changes. Keep improving delivery, quality, and cost with your team.

The audit baselines time to first review, cost per merged PR, rework rate, and review queue age from your GitHub/Linear data. One shared checkpoint, 30 days after the initial audit baseline, reviews what has changed. The audit stands on its own; the build is your decision.

Ownership

The system you keep

The workflows, context, and review setup live in your tools, documented for your team to run and extend. We work through real tasks together so the system keeps working after the engagement. Patina is an optional context product, priced separately. Your software factory can run without it.

Who's behind this

You work directly with me

I'm Piers Rollinson. I spent 15 years building and leading engineering teams at DoorDash, Square, and Mudflap, including redesigning how teams work with AI. I bring that experience into your codebase: deciding what to build first, where agents need more context, and where review belongs. You work with me directly on the build and on getting the team using it.

Common questions

What people ask first

What does DomeWorks do?

DomeWorks builds and embeds software factories so engineering teams can ship more with quality and model costs under control.

Who is it for?

Engineering leaders at product and SaaS teams of about 10–50 engineers, and services companies scaling agent-assisted delivery.

What do you mean by a software factory?

A connected workflow that takes work from clear requirements through agent implementation, testing, review, and release. We build it around your existing codebase and tools, with the context agents need and human review where the risk calls for it.

Where do we start?

Start with the Eng OS Audit. We identify what is slowing delivery, establish a baseline, and scope the first workflow worth building. You leave with a prioritized roadmap and a priced build scope. The audit stands on its own; there is no obligation to commission the sprint.

How much does it cost?

Eng OS Audit. Find the delivery constraint, choose the first software factory workflow, and scope the build and team adoption work. Baseline time to first review, cost per merged PR, rework rate and review queue age from your GitHub/Linear data, then rerun them at one shared checkpoint 30 days after the initial audit baseline. Fixed fee, $5–15k. Implementation follows in a separately scoped Software Factory Sprint. Build sprints start at $25k, scoped by the audit. Ongoing AI Ops partnership runs $5–20k/month. Fixed scope, never billed by the hour.

Can our team run it after the engagement?

Yes. The workflows, context, and review setup are documented in your tools, and we work with your engineers on real tasks so they can maintain and extend the system. Ongoing support is optional.

We already use coding agents. What would change?

We connect the pieces around them: requirements, codebase context, working test environments, model choices, and review gates. Then we help the team use that workflow in everyday delivery and measure what improves.

Do we need a Patina subscription?

No. Patina is an optional context product, priced separately at $149/month per workspace. Your software factory can run without it.
