Forward deployed engineers for AI and software delivery.

Forward deployed engineers sit close to the real work. They join your team, learn your systems and your customers, and build what is needed on the spot: integrations, AI workflows, data pipelines, rollouts. You get working software in production, not a report.

What we build

  • Embedded engineers

    A named engineer joins your stand-ups, tools and repositories and owns an outcome, not a ticket queue.

  • AI deployment

    Take an LLM prototype to production inside your stack, with evaluation, monitoring and a plan for cost.

  • Customer-site implementation

    Software vendors: we implement and integrate your product at your customers, so your team keeps building.

  • System and data integration

    Connect ERPs, shops, CRMs, spreadsheets and legacy systems that were never meant to talk to each other.

  • Shopware and ERP rollouts

    Hands-on go-lives for commerce and back-office systems, from data migration to staff training.

  • Handover and enablement

    Documentation, recorded walkthroughs and pairing, so your team can run it without us.

  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • PHP 8
  • PostgreSQL
  • OpenAI API
  • Anthropic API
  • n8n
  • Docker

Choose an outcome for an embedded engineer

This engagement suits work where the problem needs investigation alongside delivery. Define the people affected, existing tools and the first business outcome to tackle.

  • How to prepare

    Identify a decision-maker, provide access to the relevant team and agree a working-hours overlap. Bring examples of the workflow that is blocked.

  • What changes the scope

    Access restrictions, system dependencies, rollout coordination and how much of the problem is still uncertain.

  • What to agree up front

    An initial outcome, review cadence, production access boundaries and handover expectations. Revisit the scope when investigation reveals new dependencies.

How the project runs

  1. Embed

    We join your channels and tools and spend the first days with the people who use the system.

  2. Find the real problem

    We map what is actually blocking the work, then agree one outcome to ship first.

  3. Ship to production

    Small releases to real users every week, with you in the loop.

  4. Hand over

    Documentation and training, then we step back or stay on a lighter retainer.

Questions we hear often

What is a forward deployed engineer?

An engineer who works directly in the customer's environment, close to users and systems, and builds and deploys what is needed for the problem to be solved. The role became well known through data and AI companies that embed engineers at their customers.

How is this different from hiring a developer on retainer?

A retainer developer takes direction and builds to a spec. A forward deployed engineer also investigates the problem, decides what to build, and owns the result in production. Many clients start with one and move to the other.

Do you work on site?

Mostly remote, embedded in your daily rhythm and overlapping with your working hours. On-site visits can be arranged for key phases of a project.

Who is this for?

Companies rolling out AI or new systems, software vendors who need hands-on implementation at their customers, and teams with a hard integration problem and no spare engineers.

How is it priced?

As a monthly engagement, scoped after a short call. Contract terms are the same as our developer retainers: 3, 6 or 12 months.
