Engineers who join your team, not a black box.
For when you need capacity rather than a project. Named engineers working in your repository, at your ceremonies, on your priorities, with a defined start and a defined end.
- Named people
- the same engineers throughout
- Your process
- your board, your standards
- Monthly
- rolling, with clear notice
Who this is for
You probably need this if…
01
You are hiring and it is taking months
The role has been open a quarter, the roadmap keeps slipping, and hiring urgently is reliably how companies hire badly.
02
One senior engineer is the bottleneck
Everything routes through one person for review and for decisions. They are exhausted and the queue behind them keeps growing.
03
A deadline needs more hands, briefly
A three-month push does not justify a permanent hire, and contractors who arrive cold take six weeks to become useful.
What this covers
The work, in detail.
7 capabilities
01
Dedicated engineers
One or more engineers assigned to you, working your backlog, rather than rotating through a pool shared between several clients.
02
Squad augmentation
A small team placed alongside yours for a defined push, with a lead who takes responsibility for coordination rather than leaving it to you.
03
Fractional technical leadership
Architecture decisions, hiring input and technical direction at the days per month you actually need, rather than at a full-time salary.
04
Code review as a service
An experienced second opinion on every pull request, for teams who are capable but currently light on senior review capacity.
05
Overflow delivery
Taking the work that keeps slipping down the board, so your own team stays on the things only they can do.
06
Knowledge transfer
Pairing and documentation built into the engagement, so that capability stays in the building after we leave it.
07
Planned exit
A written handover and a notice period, because the end of an engagement should be scheduled rather than abrupt.
How we approach it
Positions we actually hold.
Opinions cost something to have. These are the ones we would argue for on your project, including where they make the work slower.
01
Named engineers, not a pool
You get the same people throughout. Rotating staff between clients is cheaper to run and noticeably worse to be on the receiving end of.
02
We work your way
Your repository, your board, your ceremonies, your standards. An embedded engineer who imports a different process is adding friction rather than capacity.
03
Leave capability behind
Pairing and documentation are part of the engagement. If your team is no stronger when we leave, we did the work but missed the point of it.
04
Easy to stop
Monthly rolling with a clear notice period. Capacity should be something you can turn down as readily as you turned it up.
Technology
What we work with.
Defaults, not requirements. If you already run something else and have a team who knows it, we work in yours.
- Ways of working
- Your board, your ceremonies, your definition of done
- Review
- Pull request review, architecture input, pairing
- Reporting
- Weekly written update, visible in your own tools
- Exit
- Notice period, written handover, documentation
Where this shows up in delivery
- The ceremonies and review standards are ones we run on live projects rather than ones we describe in a proposal.
- Every engagement ends with written handover as a deliverable, embedded work included.
- Our engineers work inside client repositories under client standards rather than importing our own.

Questions
What people ask about embedded teams.
- How is this different from a staffing agency?
- We are responsible for the work, not only for supplying a person. If an engineer is not working out, replacing them is our problem and our cost rather than a new search for you.
- What is the minimum commitment?
- Usually a month, rolling. Anything shorter and the ramp-up consumes most of the value for both sides, which serves nobody.
- Will they work our hours?
- We are based in Orlando, so overlap with United States business hours is the normal case rather than something that has to be negotiated around.
- Can embedded work turn into a project?
- Often it does, and in both directions. The commercial model can change without changing the people, which is usually the whole point of starting this way.
