About The Gnar Company

The Gnar Company is a Needham, Massachusetts-based software consultancy founded in 2015 with a remote-first team of senior engineers. They specialize in Ruby on Rails and React development, serving funded startups and growth-stage companies that need to augment their engineering capacity or rebuild technical foundations. The firm emphasizes clean code, sustainable architecture, and transparent project communication.

Who The Gnar Company Is Best For

The Gnar Company works best with startup CTOs or engineering leads who need senior-level contract engineering without the overhead of hiring full-time staff. They are a practical choice for companies with an existing Rails codebase that needs improvement, or teams building new products with React and Rails. The remote-first model makes them accessible to clients outside the Boston area.
