Sound familiar?
- Integrations break silently and data goes missing.
- Teams re-key data between systems every day.
- Past vendors handed over code or slides, then disappeared when it hit real users.
- Hiring a senior engineer full-time takes months you don't have.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a forward deployed engineer?
- A senior engineer who embeds with your team, learns your systems and users, and ships working software in your environment — not a consultant who hands over slides, and not a contractor waiting for tickets.
- How fast can a forward deployed engineer start?
- Typically within about two weeks of the first call, depending on your interview process.
- Is there a minimum engagement?
- No. There is no minimum commitment. Start with one engineer on one problem and scale from there.
- Will they work on-site?
- Yes, when it helps. Our engineers are US-based and can travel on-site for kickoff, discovery with users, or critical rollouts, and work remotely on your hours the rest of the time.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. Every engineer signs an NDA and full IP assignment before touching your systems.
- What if the fit isn't right?
- Tell us and we'll bring in a replacement with a proper hand-over, so nothing gets lost.
