Embedded team · monthly

A full software team inside your company, in a week, not a hiring cycle.

Skip the six-month hunt for engineers. We embed a ready-made, senior team, or just the roles you're missing, directly into your company. They work as your team, in your tools, on your roadmap, and you can scale them up or down month to month.

The idea

Rent the team, not the recruitment risk.

Hiring one senior engineer can take months of sourcing, interviewing and onboarding, before they've shipped a single thing. We hand you a complete, vetted team that already works together and is productive from week one.

  • Live and shipping in about a week, not a quarter
  • Pick a whole team or a single role, a developer, a PM, a DevOps engineer
  • Every seniority level, priced accordingly
  • Flex the team size up or down each month
  • No recruitment fees, no severance risk, no benefits overhead
Roles you can plug in

Whatever your in-house team is missing.

Take a complete cross-functional pod, or top up your existing team with the exact roles you lack.

Software engineers

Front-end, back-end and full-stack engineers across your whole application.

AI / ML engineers

AI agents, copilots and automation, built responsibly with guardrails.

DevOps & cloud

Deployment, infrastructure, monitoring and the plumbing that keeps releases boring.

Product managers

Roadmap, scope and delivery, someone who keeps the work pointed at outcomes.

QA & test automation

Manual and automated testing so velocity never comes at the cost of quality.

Product designers

UX and UI design that makes the software clear enough that people actually use it.

Tech lead / architect

Sets technical direction, designs the system and de-risks the hard decisions.

Security & data

Auth, permissions, data modeling and the safeguards your domain requires.

How the rate is set

You choose the level. The price follows.

Every team is senior-led. Junior and mid engineers add delivery capacity under that leadership, so you never pay lead rates for routine work and never get junior judgment on decisions that are expensive to get wrong.

Level 01

Junior

Delivery capacity for well-defined work, shipped steadily under senior review.

$
Level 02

Mid

Ships features independently and owns day-to-day delivery with little oversight.

$$
Level 03

Senior

Owns whole areas, makes the calls, reviews code and mentors the rest of the pod.

$$$
Level 04

Lead / Architect

Sets direction, designs the system and de-risks the decisions that are expensive to get wrong.

Final monthly pricing depends on role, seniority, commitment length and team size. See pricing & engagements →

A typical kickstart pod

Everything you need to start building, on day one.

A common starting team for a company standing up in-house development. Mix and match, this is a starting point, not a fixed package.

Scale it to a single developer, or to several pods, and adjust month to month as your roadmap changes.

How it works

From gap to a working team in about a week.

1

Tell us the gap

We learn your stack, roadmap and which roles and seniority you actually need.

2

We assemble

You get a proposed team, named people, the right seniority, ready to start.

3

Onboard in ~1 week

They join your tools, standups and workflow and start shipping fast.

4

Flex monthly

Scale the team up or down, or convert to permanent hires, as you grow.

Why companies choose it

In-house velocity, without the in-house wait.

Start in a week

A productive team now, instead of a hiring pipeline that pays off in two quarters.

Flex on demand

Scale the team to the work in front of you. No over-hiring, no painful layoffs.

Senior-led by default

People who have shipped this before, working together as a team from day one.

Your IP and code

Everything they build is yours, with the same ownership and standards as your own staff.

No hiring risk

No recruitment fees, no benefits overhead, no severance exposure if priorities shift.

A path to in-house

Use the pod to kickstart your own team, and hire the people you love permanently.

Common questions

Good to know

You can manage them directly as part of your team, or we provide a tech lead or PM to run delivery for you, whichever suits how you like to work.
Inside your world, your repos, your project tools, your standups and rituals. They operate as your team, not a black-box vendor.
Engagements are monthly with a short initial period so the team can ramp. After that you can scale up, scale down or wind down with notice.
Yes. Many clients use an embedded pod to kickstart in-house development and then convert people to permanent hires. We make that path clean, not punitive.
You pay a monthly rate per person, set by role and seniority. You choose the mix, always senior-led, and can adjust it month to month.
You do. Code, infrastructure and documentation belong to you from day one, and the team works under the same ownership terms as your own employees.
