First Engineering Hire | Build the Future of Code Quality
CodeOpps is solving one of software development's most critical challenges with AI that audits, fixes, and tracks tech debt. We've completed multiple audits and validated strong demand from companies ranging from venture-backed startups to legacy SMB's and PE/M&A firms seeking technical due diligence.
