Built by engineers who got tired of week-one chaos.
Onboardr is an opinionated, deeply-engineered product. We treat onboarding as a first-class engineering problem — because it is.
Codebases are people problems.
The friction is never the language or the framework. It's the missing context, the unnamed conventions, the institutional memory that lives in three engineers' heads.
Every team has the same hidden tax: a brilliant engineer joins, and for two months the codebase resists them. Wikis are stale. Docs are aspirational. Tribal knowledge is gated behind whoever happens to be online.
Onboardr is our refusal to accept this as the cost of doing business. We believe a codebase that can't explain itself is a codebase that can't onboard, refactor, or evolve fast enough to matter.
We're building an operating system for codebase intelligence. It is quiet, fast, and senior. It cites its work. It earns its keep in week one and keeps earning it forever.
— Ayush & the Onboardr team
What we ship to your team.
Four surfaces, one graph. Each one earns its place in the engineering loop — index, atlas, plan, chat.
Whole-codebase indexing in under 90 seconds. Polyglot, monorepo-aware, with a live freshness signal so the graph never goes stale.
A real-time architecture map with ownership, latency overlays, and one-click drill-down from service to symbol to commit.
Personalized ramp-up plans paced for the hire — concrete tickets, paired reading, and citations to the exact files that matter.
Repo-aware AI grounded in real files and lines. Every answer is verifiable, every suggestion ships with a diff you can apply.
What we hire for. What we measure.
Clarity over cleverness
We prefer the boring obvious answer to the impressive abstract one.
Cite or shut up
If we can't show the file, we won't ship the claim.
Calm by default
Onboardr never shouts. The product earns attention, never demands it.
Small surface, deep system
Few features, ferociously tuned. We say no to most things.
We are hiring engineers who care about how the work feels.
