Slate36

Services

Software, infrastructure, and the strategy that connects them.

Engage Slate36 for a single project or for end-to-end orchestration of your engineering and IT environment. We work with founders, operators, and IT leaders — and we know how to talk to both engineers and the CFO.

01 — Software

AI & Agentic Workflows

Move from one-off prompts to durable, observable AI systems. We design and ship agent workflows that integrate with the tools your team already uses.

  • Agent architecture and tool design (function-calling, MCP, planners)
  • Workflow automation across Slack, email, CRM, Notion, and your own systems
  • GTM, content, and product-engineering use cases — measurable from day one
  • Eval harnesses, observability, and guardrails for production agents
  • Migration from prototypes (n8n, Zapier) to maintainable code

02 — Software

Product Engineering

Full-stack builds for founders and product teams. We ship features, not estimates.

  • Web apps in Next.js, React, Svelte, and Tailwind
  • Backends in Python, Node, and Ruby on Rails
  • Postgres, Redis, and the data plumbing that scales with you
  • Stripe billing, NFC, third-party integrations
  • Vercel, Cloudflare, and AWS deployments — production-grade by default

03 — Infrastructure

IT Infrastructure & Telecom

Through MSP partnerships with Telarus and Sandler Partners, Slate36 sources and orchestrates infrastructure across hundreds of vetted providers — so the right tool gets matched to the right job.

  • Network design, SD-WAN, and connectivity
  • Voice services: hosted voice, SIP trunking, contact center
  • Cloud infrastructure: IaaS, colocation, managed hosting
  • Cybersecurity and managed detection partnerships
  • Telecom expense management and invoice optimization
  • Structured cabling and on-site implementation through partners

04 — Advisory

Technical Advisory & Fractional Leadership

A technical advisor on call for the decisions that don’t fit on a Jira ticket.

  • Architecture reviews and technical due diligence
  • AI strategy and roadmap workshops
  • Hiring plans, interview design, and team scaling
  • Vendor selection and contract review
  • Board and investor-ready technical narratives

How we engage

Three ways to work together.

Project

Scoped build

Fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables — typically 4 to 12 weeks. Best for new builds, AI workflow design, or infrastructure rollouts.

Retainer

Fractional leadership

Ongoing technical-advisor capacity for a monthly retainer. Includes architecture, hiring, AI strategy, and hands-on engineering hours.

Assessment

Free 30-min consult

A focused conversation about what you’re trying to do. You leave with a clear point of view and, if it fits, a proposal.
