Your own AI engineer,embedded in your business.
A forward-deployed engineer joins your team and ships working software every week — the agents, automations, and tools your roadmap keeps deferring. Month to month, at a fixed price. Everything is yours.
01/The shift
The new job title for what actually works.
“Forward-deployed engineer” is the AI industry's name for the only approach that's been working: an engineer embedded in the business, shipping production software there. Palantir invented the role; the big AI labs built whole divisions around it to win their largest customers.
Ours does the same job inside your business. Where a lab's engineer ships the lab's platform, yours ships whatever your business needs most — working systems, in your environment, owned by you.
02/How it works
Embed. Ship. Compound.
01
Start with proof
Most engagements begin with a Catalyst Workshop or a sprint. You've seen us ship; we've seen your business. Nobody signs a long deal on faith.
02
Embed
Your engineer joins your tools, your standups, your Slack — and ships something real in the first week.
03
Ship weekly
A steady cadence: build, demo, steer. You point the engineer at whatever matters most this month, and each thing we ship surfaces the next thing worth building.
04
Compound
Each system makes the next one cheaper to build. Your team learns the patterns as we go, so the leverage stays when the engagement ends.
03/What you get
Software, a roadmap, and a faster team.
01
Working software, every week
Agents, automations, integrations, tools — shipped to production on a weekly cadence, steered by you.
02
A compounding roadmap
A ranked backlog of what to build next, kept honest by what's actually shipped.
03
A team that's faster without us
Your engineer pairs with your people and documents everything. The goal is a business that builds — not a dependency on ours.
04/Fit check
Forward-deployed isn't for everyone.
Book a call if
- Your list of "we should build that" outlived a sprint — there's a real backlog
- You want working software every week, not a transformation roadmap
- Someone on your team will partner with the engineer — that's where the leverage multiplies
Skip it if
- You have one project in mind — that's a sprint. One build doesn't need a standing engineer
- You want advice without building — we only work in production
- You're hiring a full-time AI team — we'll happily help you do that instead
Not ready for ongoing? Start smaller.
Forward-deployed engagements almost always start as something smaller. Watch us work for a day, or hand us one build — then decide if you want the cadence.
