Niteshift
Full-stack cloud for coding agents: isolated production-like environments, model routing, and verified pull-request workflows billed by agent runtime with no single-lab lock-in. Niteshift raised a $7 million seed round led by Greylock in June 2026.
Engineering orgs running coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, open models) that want isolated environments and merge-ready PRs without betting the company on one lab's cloud.
Individuals happy inside a single vendor's IDE agent with no need for parallel sandboxes.
Verdict
Niteshift is a cloud platform for coding agents founded by Datadog veterans Sajid Mehmood and Conor Branagan. It provides configured environments, runtime, auth, testing, and verification so agents return checked pull requests.
