Engineering SIA · cana.si

From ticket to tested, reviewed release.

A super-intelligent engineering org that works alongside yours. The Engineering SIA plans features, writes and refactors code, generates tests, reviews pull requests, modernizes legacy systems and fixes production issues — in parallel, inside your repositories and your rules.

Plan

Turn a ticket into an explicit, reviewable delivery plan

Test

Keep checks and review in the delivery loop

Parallel

Agents work many tickets at once — not one chat at a time

What it owns

The software delivery lifecycle: spec, code, test, review, release, and the maintenance nobody wants to do.

The agent roster

Tech Lead

Turns tickets into specs and plans, splits work and assigns it to the right agents.

Builder

Writes and refactors code across the repo, following your conventions and architecture.

Test Engineer

Generates unit, integration and end-to-end tests; hunts flaky tests.

Reviewer

Reviews every PR for correctness, security, performance and style before humans do.

Modernizer

Migrates legacy code — frameworks, languages, cloud — with behavior-preserving tests.

Release Manager

Writes release notes, coordinates deploys and watches the rollout.

Maintainer

Upgrades dependencies, patches CVEs and burns down tech debt on a schedule.

Use cases

What the Engineering SIA does from day one.

01

Ticket-to-PR delivery

Assign a Jira or Linear ticket. The SIA writes a plan, implements it on a branch, runs the tests and opens a PR with a clear description and screenshots.

Your backlog moves while you sleep.

Tech LeadBuilder
02

Legacy modernization

Map a legacy codebase, generate characterization tests, then migrate module by module — COBOL to Java, AngularJS to React, monolith to services.

Years of migration compressed into quarters.

ModernizerTest Engineer
03

Test generation & QA

Raise coverage on critical paths, generate end-to-end tests from user stories and quarantine flaky tests automatically.

Test Engineer
04

AI code review

Every PR gets a first review for bugs, security issues, performance and conventions — with suggested fixes humans can accept in one click.

Senior reviewers focus on design.

Reviewer
05

Incident-to-fix

When production breaks, the SIA reproduces the issue, finds the offending commit, writes the fix and the regression test.

BuilderTest Engineer
06

Security & dependency hygiene

Continuous CVE patching, dependency upgrades and secrets scanning, batched into reviewable PRs.

Maintainer
07

Docs that stay current

API references, architecture docs and onboarding guides regenerated as the code changes.

Release Manager
08

Embedded & systems engineering

Requirements traceability, test-bench automation and log analysis for firmware, RF and hardware-adjacent teams.

How it works

A closed loop, not a one-shot answer.

  1. 01

    Plan

    Ticket → spec → task graph, with acceptance criteria.

  2. 02

    Build

    Parallel agents implement in isolated branches and sandboxes.

  3. 03

    Verify

    Tests, linters, security scans and preview environments.

  4. 04

    Review

    Agent review first, then human approval on your rules.

  5. 05

    Ship

    Merge, deploy, monitor and write the release notes.

Earned autonomy

Four modes. One dial per use case.

1

Observe

Reads signals and builds understanding. No actions.

2

Recommend

Proposes actions with evidence for a human to take.

3

Act with approval

Executes once a human approves, by risk tier.

4

Autonomous

Acts within policy, announces and logs everything.

Autonomy is set per use case and expands only when evaluations against your own historical data prove it is ready.

Guardrails

Governed by default, auditable always.

  • Agents work in sandboxes with scoped repo permissions
  • Branch protection respected — humans approve every merge
  • Secrets never leave your environment
  • Every agent change is attributable in git history

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which languages and stacks are supported?

All mainstream languages and frameworks. The SIA learns your repo's conventions from the code itself and from the rules files you provide.

How is this different from a coding assistant?

Assistants help one developer in one editor. The Engineering SIA is a coordinated team of agents that plans, builds, tests and reviews in parallel, with governance across the org.

Can we use our own models?

Yes. Route each step to any frontier, open-weight or self-hosted model — or bring your own keys.
