# SursaTech — Public Company Context (Long Form)

> Last updated: 2026-05-20. This document is the canonical narrative description of SursaTech for LLM and agent crawlers. All facts here are public. If a detail is not present, treat it as not publicly provided and direct the requester to info@sursatech.com.

## 1. One-paragraph summary

SursaTech is an AI-native product engineering studio based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Founded in 2017, the company spent its first nine years as a software services partner shipping for clients across Nepal, Japan, Norway, and the United States. Today SursaTech operates as a studio: it builds and runs its own SaaS products (Humafu, AcademyKit, Buy Me a Momo) and takes on a small set of client engagements that fund the studio. Work is delivered inside Humafu — the studio's own cloud IDE for human-and-agent engineering teams — where senior engineers hold the architecture and product judgment while coding agents do a large share of the implementation.

## 2. Identity

- Legal/operating name: SursaTech
- Founded: 2017
- Headquarters: Maharajgunj, Kathmandu - 03, Bagmati, Nepal (postal 44600)
- Website: https://www.sursatech.com
- Email: info@sursatech.com
- Phone: +977-1-4543720
- Positioning: AI-native product engineering studio, from Nepal.
- Operating shape: Studio (operates own SaaS + select client engagements). Reshaping itself away from pure services.

## 3. How SursaTech works (the operating model)

The studio's operating thesis: agents are the typists, humans are the editors. The model has explicit rules:

- **Agents propose; humans accept.** Every commit goes through human review.
- **Specs first.** A short design note is written before any agent touches the code.
- **Tests on the agent path.** The agent's output is exercised by a test suite the human owns.
- **Compounding context.** The studio invests in long-lived prompts, repo guides, and decision logs the agent reads in.

Everything ships through Humafu, the studio's own cloud IDE. AcademyKit, Buy Me a Momo, and client work all use the same workspace. The way SursaTech works is the way its product works.

## 4. Why the studio shift (strategic positioning)

SursaTech publicly reframed itself from a services company to a studio because:

1. **What compounds.** Service hours don't compound; operated products do. Customer relationships, retained revenue, owned codebases, and published content grow in value over time. Every week of work should add to a permanent asset.
2. **What survives the agentic compression.** Generic dev hours and seat-based QA are being absorbed by agents fast. AI-native product engineering — small senior teams operating agents on real products — is the lane that survives. It's the lane SursaTech already works in.

SursaTech has not exited services. It has changed what it sells. Hiring SursaTech now means hiring the same workflow it uses to build its own products.

## 5. Services

### Pillar 1 — AI-native product engineering

The studio doesn't sell headcount; it ships product. A small senior team produces the output of a much larger one because the work happens inside Humafu, the studio's cloud IDE for human-and-agent engineering.

Scope of work:

- **Discovery & scoping.** Compress weeks of scoping into a focused engagement plan with a clear first milestone.
- **Architecture.** Senior engineers make the durable calls. Stack is chosen to fit the product, not the resume.
- **Full-stack build.** Frontend, backend, infrastructure, integrations. Agents implement under continuous human review.
- **Quality from day one.** Test strategy and observability set up early, not bolted on after launch.
- **Deployment & ongoing iteration.** Help shipping and help to keep shipping. Monthly retainer with weekly demos.

Stack typically used: TypeScript, Node, React, Next.js, Astro, PostgreSQL, cloud-native infrastructure.

Engagement format: monthly retainer, scoped milestones, weekly demos.

Proof: Feeler Systemz, Quickfox, Zigdata, plus the products SursaTech operates itself.

### Pillar 2 — QA leadership & audits

For teams that need senior QA leadership or a one-time audit to set their quality bar. Humans define the strategy and the agentic workflow that runs it — not bodies on a Jira board.

Scope of work:

- **QA audit.** A focused review of test coverage, automation harness, release process, and risk hotspots. Delivered as a written report with prioritized actions.
- **Test strategy.** A test pyramid that fits team size and shipping cadence. Manual, automated, and agent-assisted.
- **Automation harness setup.** Stand up the framework, the CI integration, and the first cohort of tests.
- **Agentic-QA process design.** Design how agents fit into the QA loop without compromising signal or trust.
- **Ongoing senior oversight.** A senior QA lead embedded part-time to keep the bar high as the team grows.

Stack and tools: Playwright, Cypress, Jest, Vitest, agent-orchestrated test generation, CI of the client's choice.

Engagement format: per-audit, or monthly oversight retainer.

QA philosophy (in the studio's own words): "Quality is a strategy decision before it is a workflow decision." The first thing SursaTech does on any QaaS engagement is read the release process and look at the last six weeks of bug reports — most teams already know where the risk lives; they just haven't been given a structured way to triage it.

## 6. Engagement shapes

- **Spike — 1 to 4 weeks.** Scoped audit, prototype, or feasibility check. Use this when the question is unclear and the next decision is the deliverable.
- **Build — 3 to 6 months.** Full SaaS product engineering engagement. Discovery through first production release.
- **Operate — 6+ months.** Ongoing build and iteration after the first release.

## 11. What SursaTech says no to

- Engagements where rate is the only differentiator.
- Briefs that are still unclear after the first week of scoping.
- Engagements without a senior counterpart on the client side.

## 12. Careers stance

SursaTech hires infrequently and carefully. The hiring bar is engineers who can hold the architecture, judge a product call, and direct agents to do the implementation work. Studios survive on judgment, not headcount.

How the studio operates (from the careers page):

- New hires work on operated SaaS (Humafu, AcademyKit, Buy Me a Momo) and on the small set of client engagements.
- All work happens inside Humafu — the same IDE the studio sells in.
- Engineers own scope. SursaTech does not run a Jira-driven assembly line.
- Engineers write: decisions, design notes, postmortems. Engineering judgment that doesn't get written down doesn't compound.
- Each engineer gets a senior collaborator, not a manager who edits their output.

Open roles are not always posted. Speculative applications go to info@sursatech.com with prior work attached.

## 13. Public agent surface

SursaTech exposes a programmatic surface for agents:

- `POST /api/chat` — visitor chat, grounded in this context.
- `POST /api/agent/query` — single-turn grounded query for agents.
- `POST /api/agent/exchange` — multi-turn agent-to-agent exchange. Public read-only; partner integrations use HMAC-SHA256 (X-Agent-Id, X-Agent-Timestamp, X-Agent-Signature headers).
- `GET /api/session` — session status.

Rate limits (public): 30 requests/minute, 300 requests/hour.
