Why US eng leaders staff with us

A dedicated team that feels in-house

Staff augmentation usually means a timezone you fight and a resume you never meet. We built the opposite.

9+ hours of US overlap

Your dedicated engineers work US hours from Chennai. They join your standups, review PRs in real time, and respond to incidents while your team is awake.

100% IP and signed NDAs

Everything they write is yours. Code, prompts, evals, and pipelines transfer to your repos under signed NDAs from the first day.

Senior engineers, named

You interview and approve the people on your account. No juniors hidden on the bill, no bait-and-switch after the contract signs.

Weeks to ramp, not months

Your engineer is in your repo and shipping inside the first two weeks. We handle onboarding so they arrive ready to contribute, not to learn.

Transparent monthly pricing

One flat monthly rate per engineer. No markups on tooling, no surprise overage, no minimum lock you have to fight your way out of.

Built around your workflow

They use your stack, your ticketing, your branching model, and your review standards. The goal is an engineer who feels in-house, not a vendor.

Engagement models

Pick the shape of the team

Start with one engineer and grow into a pod, or stand up an embedded team from day one. The model bends to your roadmap.

Model 01

Dedicated engineer

One senior AI engineer, fully yours

A single senior engineer embedded into your team full time. They report to your lead, sit in your tools, and own their work the same way an in-house hire would.

  • Full-time, your hours
  • You set the roadmap
  • Best for one clear gap

Model 02

Most chosen

Dedicated pod

A small senior team with a lead

Two to four engineers plus a tech lead who runs the day to day. The pod ships features end to end while you stay focused on product and direction.

  • Lead-managed delivery
  • Cross-functional skills
  • Best for a whole workstream

Model 03

Embedded team

A scaled team inside your org

A larger group that operates as a true extension of your engineering org, with shared rituals, shared ownership, and the ability to scale up or down by quarter.

  • Scales with your roadmap
  • Shared on-call and rituals
  • Best for AI at the core

How integration works

From signed to shipping in two weeks

Onboarding is our job, not yours. By the time your engineer joins standup, they already know the codebase and the conventions.

  1. 01

    Scope the role

    We start with the actual work: the stack, the seniority, and the outcomes you need. You tell us what a strong week looks like and we match against it.

  2. 02

    Meet your engineers

    You interview a shortlist of senior candidates and pick the people you want. The engineer on your account is the one you approved, not a substitute.

  3. 03

    Onboard in your tools

    We get them into your repos, your ticketing, your Slack, and your review process. By the end of week one they are reading code and asking the right questions.

  4. 04

    Ship alongside your team

    They work your hours, attend your standups, and ship through your pipeline. You manage the work directly while we handle everything behind the scenes.

What a dedicated engineer brings

More than a pair of hands

Every engineer on our roster has shipped real AI products. Here is what shows up the week they join.

01

Production AI engineering

RAG pipelines, agents, fine-tuning, and inference services that run in production with tests, monitoring, and cost controls. Not notebooks, real systems your users depend on.

02

Full-stack delivery

They do not stop at the model. APIs, data plumbing, frontends, and infrastructure all sit within reach, so a feature ships whole instead of waiting on three other people.

03

Evals and reliability

A dedicated engineer who measures model behavior on real cases, builds guardrails, and treats hallucinations and latency as bugs to fix, not facts to accept.

04

Judgment, not just code

Senior means they push back when an approach is wrong, scope down when a deadline is real, and explain tradeoffs in plain language to people who are not engineers.

Tell us the role you need filled

Describe the work and the stack. We will send a shortlist of senior engineers, a flat monthly rate, and a start date measured in weeks. You interview, you approve, they ship.
