Forward-deployed engineering

Your company’s software, built for you.

Our forward-deployed engineers build the software your teams run on in your own workspace, or move what you run today with parity proven side by side. It starts with a fixed-scope pilot: first version live in two weeks.

Migrate what you have. Build what you’re missing.

Most projects are one of two kinds. Many are both: move what you have, then build what you were missing.

How the pilot works

Every engagement starts the same way: a fixed-scope pilot on one solution, so you see working software on your own data before you commit to more.

  1. Week 0

    Scope

    One call with an engineer. We agree on one solution, what success looks like, and a fixed price, in writing.

  2. Weeks 1–2

    First version

    Built in your own workspace repository on your real data. You see every commit, and the first version goes live.

  3. Weeks 3–6

    Prove parity

    For migrations, old and new run side by side through a full reporting cycle until every metric matches or the difference is explained.

  4. Then

    Decide

    Continue and the pilot fee is credited to your contract. Or stop, and keep the workspace and the code.

Parity, proven

Nothing switches until the numbers match.

Migrations fail when the new system quietly disagrees with the old one. We run both, compare every metric your teams rely on, and explain every difference before anything is turned off.

Illustrative parity report. “Explained”: the old CRM counted two renewals as new deals.

Engineers in your project, not a services firm on the side

It is the forward-deployed model Palantir pioneered and leading AI companies now run, applied to the software your company runs on.

One owner, end to end

One engineer owns the outcome from the first call to production. No ticket queue, no chain of hand-offs.

Yours, not ours

Everything we build is code in your repo, on the same cloud you would use yourself. No black box, no proprietary layer to rent.

Built to be taken over

We leave the repo with the instructions and skills your agents need, so they can extend it the day we hand it over.

Done this before

The same team has run data infrastructure for enterprise brands for ten years. We know where migrations break.

What the enterprise plan includes.

Everything in self-serve (the whole platform, with no feature gates) plus a team that builds on it with you. Scoped and priced with you, with platform usage billed as in self-serve.
