Senior AI Engineers.
Embedded With Your Team.
Long-Term.

We place experienced engineers—not contractors—into product companies building or scaling AI-powered systems. If you are looking for a cheap dev shop or a quick MVP, we are not the right fit.

Is This Right For You?

We are selective about who we work with. Not because we are difficult—but because long-term embedded work only succeeds when there is a genuine fit on both sides.

This Is For You If...

  • You are a funded startup or product company with an existing engineering team that needs reinforcement—not replacement
  • You are building AI-powered features (RAG, LLMs, intelligent automation) and need engineers who have shipped these systems to production
  • You value architecture and code quality over speed-at-all-costs
  • You are looking for a 3-12+ month engagement, not a one-off project
  • Your team operates in US timezones and needs real-time collaboration
  • You have technical leadership in-house and want engineers who can operate with minimal hand-holding

This Is NOT For You If...

  • You need a cheap offshore team to build an MVP quickly
  • You want to outsource your entire engineering function
  • You are looking for hourly contractors you can spin up and down weekly
  • You do not have product or technical leadership to provide direction
  • You expect engineers to work outside US business hours as a norm
  • You are primarily optimizing for lowest cost

What Makes Us Different

We are not a body shop. We do not have a bench of junior developers waiting to be staffed.

AI Engineering in Production

Our engineers have built and deployed RAG pipelines, LLM orchestration systems, vector search, and intelligent automation—in production, at scale. Not demos. Not POCs. Real systems handling real traffic.

If you are adding AI capabilities to your product, we speak the language.

Architecture-Led Delivery

Every engagement starts with architecture review. We do not just write code—we make sure the code fits into a system that will scale, remain maintainable, and not become technical debt in 18 months.

Our engineers think in systems, not just tickets.

Senior Engineers Only

We do not staff juniors supervised by a single senior. Every engineer we place has 7+ years of experience, has led projects, and can operate autonomously within your team context.

You get engineers who solve problems, not create new ones.

US Timezone Collaboration

Our team overlaps with US business hours (EST/CST/PST). This is not about location—it is about being present for standups, design discussions, and real-time problem-solving.

Async-first sounds good in theory. In practice, embedded engineering requires synchronous collaboration.

Ownership Mindset

We do not treat your codebase as someone else problem. Our engineers take ownership of the systems they work on—documentation, testing, monitoring, and handoff included.

When an engagement ends, you are not left with mystery code and missing context.

Engagement Models

We do not do packages. We structure engagements based on what your team actually needs.

Senior Engineering Pod

Who it is for: Product teams that need experienced full-stack or backend engineers to increase velocity on core product work.

  • Feature development and iteration
  • API design and integrations
  • Performance optimization
  • Technical debt reduction

Typical duration

6-12 months

AI Engineering Pod

Who it is for: Teams building AI-powered features who need engineers with production LLM and RAG experience—not just ML researchers.

Team Composition

  • 1-2 AI/LLM Engineers
  • 1 Backend Engineer
  • Technical Lead oversight

Focus Areas

  • RAG pipeline design and implementation
  • LLM orchestration and prompt engineering
  • Vector database integration
  • AI feature productionization

Typical duration

4-12 months

Full Product Engineering Team

Who it is for: Companies building new products or platforms who need a complete, self-sufficient engineering team—but want to maintain product ownership in-house.

Team Composition

  • 3-4 Senior Engineers (Full-stack, Backend, AI)
  • 1 DevOps/Platform Engineer
  • Technical Lead (architecture, code review, coordination)
  • QA Engineer (optional)

Focus Areas

  • End-to-end product development
  • Platform architecture and scalability
  • CI/CD and infrastructure
  • Security and compliance

Typical duration

6-18 months

Platform Reliability Pod

Who it is for: Teams with existing products that need dedicated focus on infrastructure, performance, and operational stability.

Team Composition

  • 1-2 Platform/DevOps Engineers
  • 1 Backend Engineer (reliability focus)
  • Technical Lead oversight

Focus Areas

  • Infrastructure modernization
  • Monitoring and observability
  • Performance optimization
  • Incident response and runbooks

Typical duration

3-9 months

How It Works

1

Discovery & Fit

1-2 calls over 1 week

We start with a technical conversation—not a sales call. We want to understand your architecture, your team structure, and what you are actually trying to accomplish. This is also where we determine if there is a fit. We will be honest if we do not think we are the right partner.

2

Team Assembly

1-2 weeks

Based on the technical requirements, we match engineers from our team who have relevant experience. You will meet them directly and have the opportunity to assess fit. We do not send you whoever is available. We send you the right people.

3

Deep Onboarding

1-2 weeks

Our engineers invest significant time upfront understanding your codebase, architecture, and team workflows. We do not expect to be productive on day one—we expect to be productive for the next 12 months. This includes documentation review, architecture walkthrough, and initial pairing with your team.

4

Ongoing Delivery

Continuous

We operate as part of your team—same standups, same sprint cadence, same communication channels. Our Technical Lead maintains regular check-ins to ensure alignment and address any friction early. We adapt to your process, not the other way around.

5

Scaling or Transition

As needed

As your needs evolve, we can scale the team up, adjust composition, or begin a structured transition to hand off ownership to your internal team. We plan for endings from the beginning. Knowledge transfer is built into how we work, not an afterthought.

Work We Have Done

We do not publish client logos without permission, and most of our clients prefer confidentiality. Here is what we can share.

Let's See If We Are a Fit

We are selective about the teams we work with—and we expect you to be selective too. If you are building something serious and need senior engineers who can operate at your level, let's talk.

No sales pitch. No pressure. Just a technical conversation to see if there is alignment.
