EMBEDDED ENGINEERING TEAM
Senior engineers in your Slack, shipping in 15 days.
A tech lead and 1-3 engineers who work in your repo, follow your conventions and run AI in the loop with a review gate. A six-month hiring search takes longer than that.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
This is for you if
- Your engineers are good, and the backlog still grows every sprint.
- Senior time disappears into code review.
- You don't have a CTO yet and need one person accountable for the build.
WHAT YOU GET
What you get

Definition of done
Every release ships with tests, docs and a demo video.
AI in the loop, behind a gate
