A team that keeps shipping instead of disappearing at handoff.
Project work ends at a handover, and a product that is still growing does not have one. This is the arrangement for the other case: senior engineers working your roadmap continuously, in your standups and your Slack, with the ability to change the size of the team each quarter rather than each hiring cycle.
This is for you if
- The roadmap is longer than any one project and keeps changing
- Hiring is taking quarters you do not have, for a need that may shift
- You have engineers but no one who wants to own deployment, monitoring, and being paged
- Delivery stalls whenever the one person who knows a system takes leave
It isn't, if
- You have a fixed scope with a clear end. That is a project, and a fixed price serves you better than a retainer.
- You want the cheapest hourly rate. There are places to get that; the results are the reason they are cheaper.
- There is nobody to set priorities. An embedded team needs someone on your side who can decide what matters this month.
What actually happens.
- 01
Scope the team, not the project
What the roadmap needs for the next quarter, which skills that implies, and how many people. Sized to the work in front of you rather than to the largest number that fits the budget.
- 02
Embed properly
Your Linear, your repos, your standups, direct access over Slack. A team you have to email through an account manager is an agency with extra steps.
- 03
Sprint against your roadmap
Priorities set by you, delivery in visible increments, and demos rather than status updates. What ships is judged by whether you would have chosen it, not by hours logged.
- 04
Own it in production
Monitoring, alerting, on-call and maintenance included, because a team that ships but does not carry the pager optimises for the wrong thing.
What you get
- Sprint-based delivery against your roadmap
- Direct access over Slack and standups
- Maintenance, monitoring, and on-call
- Scale the team up or down each quarter

The ones people actually ask.
How is this different from a fixed-price project?
A project has a defined end and a price agreed against a scope. This is continuous capacity against a roadmap that changes, which is the right shape when nobody can write down the finished state a year out.
Can we change the size of the team?
Each quarter, in either direction. That notice period is what lets us keep the same people on your product rather than rotating whoever is free, which is the thing that makes an embedded team worth more than contractors.
Do we get the same engineers each month?
Yes. Context is most of the value here, and a team reassigned every sprint spends its time relearning what the last one knew.
What if we want to hire them directly?
Talk to us. We would rather have that conversation openly than write a clause designed to make it awkward.
