Questions, answered

What is a forward deployed engineer?: A senior engineer who works inside your team on one deployment and owns getting it live: discovery, integration, build, launch and handover. Unlike a contractor billing hours, they are accountable for the outcome.
Do your engineers work on site?: Yes, when the work needs it. They work with your team in person for discovery and launch, and in your systems, repositories and calls the rest of the time.
How much does a deployment cost?: We scope and price each deployment after a short call, either as a fixed fee for a fixed scope or as a small pod. Managed hires are priced by seniority.
Can we hire a forward deployed engineer onto our team?: Yes. FDEs can also be hired through our managed service, the same way as any other engineer.
What other engineers can we hire?: Frontend, backend, full stack, mobile, DevOps and cloud engineers, blockchain developers, and specialists in fintech and healthtech.
