For engineering leaders

Hire forward deployed engineers

Senior engineers who join your team — your repository, your cloud, your stand-ups — and own a real problem through to production. Embedded under your lead, or accountable end to end.

Deployed with teams across four continents

When teams call us

Four problems we are brought in to own

If one of these is on your desk and nobody on your team has the time to own it, that is what a forward deployed engineer is for.

  • A deadline you can actually meet

    The date is real, the team is committed elsewhere, and hiring takes months. An engineer who starts next week and owns the work is the difference.

  • An AI feature that works on your data

    Past the demo: evaluated against your real cases, wired into your product, and designed for the day the model is slow or wrong.

  • A prototype you can run

    Something that impressed in a meeting and now has to carry real traffic — with the pipeline, monitoring and runbooks to operate it.

  • A system that has to change safely

    Legacy code nobody fully understands, changed behind characterisation tests, without the business noticing the move.

Two ways to engage

Embedded in your team, or accountable end to end

The same senior engineers and the same standard. The only question is who directs the work.

You direct the work

Embedded

A senior engineer inside your team.

A forward deployed engineer joins your team — your repository, your tracker, your stand-up — and works to your lead’s priorities. They take direction and bring judgement: they will tell you when a ticket is wrong, and find the thing nobody filed.

Right for you if you have an engineering lead and a clear direction, and need senior capacity that does not need managing.

  • Full-time, dedicated to your team
  • Month to month, on weeks of notice
  • Arrives with our tooling and review practice
  • Scale by adding engineers, not by re-scoping

We direct the work

End to end

Accountable for all of it.

Give us the problem and we own it from scope to production — architecture, build, release and operations — then run it until your team is ready to take it back. A named lead is accountable for the outcome, not just the code.

Right for you if you would rather hand over the problem, or nobody on your side has the time to direct the work.

  • A named lead, accountable for the outcome
  • Scoped in phases, each with a written plan
  • A working demo every week, in your environment
  • Handed back with runbooks and decision records

Either way: senior engineers only, everything in your accounts from the first week, and a named engineer on every merge. We keep the number of engagements deliberately small.

What happens next

From first message to week one

The first step costs you thirty minutes and nothing else. We reply within one working day to arrange it.

  1. A 30-minute scoping call — free

    With an engineer, not a salesperson. You describe the problem; we tell you honestly whether you need us, which model fits, and what week one would look like.

  2. A written note, then a proposal

    A short note of what we heard, and a proposal within two working days — the engineer named, the model, and the terms.

  3. Week one, in production

    Access on day one, something small live by the end of the week. Everything built sits in your accounts from the start.

  4. Weekly, month to month

    A working demo every week against your own environment. Embedded engagements run month to month, so you are never locked in.
