Embedded team

Capacity that raises the bar, not just the headcount.

When you need engineers more than you need a vendor. Ours work in your standups, your repository and your board, hold the same review standard as your own team, and write things down so the knowledge stays when the engagement ends.

You are probably here because

  • You have the roadmap and not the people, and hiring will take six months.
  • A project needs a specialism your team does not have and should not have to keep.
  • Your engineers are good and outnumbered.

If none of that sounds like you, this probably is not the service you need, and we would rather say so.

What it does for you

Embedded team helps you:

  • Ship sooner

    A quarter saved getting to market is a quarter spent in it instead.

  • Keep your engineers

    Hand over a codebase people want to work in, not one they route around.

  • Build with confidence

    Typed, tested code your own engineers can extend without bracing for impact.

  • Reduce risk

    Naming what can go wrong in week one costs far less than finding out in month six.

How it runs

Four phases, no dark period.

Built from the bottom
  1. 01

    Shadow

  3. 03

  4. 04

    Hand back

the capability stays with you

An embedded team is judged by what it leaves behind. Shadowing earns context, delivery earns trust, and the hand back is planned from the first week.
  1. 01

    Shadow

    A fortnight in your standups, your codebase and your board before anyone writes production code.

  2. 02

    Integrate

    Our engineers work your process, not a parallel one. Same board, same review standard, same definition of done.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Normal delivery, with our people accountable for outcomes rather than hours logged.

  4. 04

    Hand back

    Decisions written down as they are made, so the knowledge stays when the engagement ends.

Dedicated engineers embedded in your process, not a separate island.
Typical length

A fortnight shadowing your team before anyone writes production code.

Deliverables

What actually lands.

Concrete things, in your accounts and your repository, that keep working after we have gone.

  • Engineers in your standups and your repo
  • The same review bar as your own team
  • Written decisions, not tribal knowledge
  • A handover that leaves you stronger

Before you commit

The questions we get asked.

Is this staff augmentation?
In the sense that we add capacity, yes. Not in the sense that we send whoever is on the bench. You meet the engineers first.
What is the minimum?
Three months. Below that, onboarding eats the value for both of us.
Can they lead?
Yes, where you want that. They can also follow your lead, which is more common and perfectly fine.

Not quite what you need?

These sit closest to it. If none of them fit either, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people.

Next step

Tell us what you're building.

A few lines is enough. What it is, who it's for, when you need it live. Or put half an hour in the calendar and talk it through instead.
