ENGAGEMENT / 02

An engineer inside your team. Agents inside your workflow.

A senior commerce engineer embeds with your team — implementing the assessment roadmap, establishing agentic workflows your team keeps, and shipping production software along the way. Familiar with the Forward Deployed Engineer model? That's the model.

2 days/week · 3 days/week · dedicated — defined objectives, monthly measurement

What it is.

dedicated engineering capacity with defined objectives
implementation of the assessment roadmap
agentic workflows your team keeps after we leave
production software shipped along the way
monthly measurement against your baseline
architecture, governance and standards ownership, where needed

You keep the workflow, the tooling and the numbers.

What it isn't.

staff augmentation by the hour
an agency project with account managers
a chatbot pilot that never touches production
a dependency you can't remove
advice without implementation

If a line item doesn't move a metric, it doesn't survive the month.

Three shapes. One engineer.

MOMENTUM
2 days / week

Roadmap implementation with your team in the loop. Monthly readout. For teams with strong internal ownership.

DEFAULT
3 days / week

Implementation plus workflow coaching and review discipline. The most common shape.

TRANSFORMATION
Dedicated

Full-time embedded lead: architecture, governance, vendor selection, engineering standards, roadmap ownership. For organisations without internal AI leadership.

Fixed fee, agreed before we start — never hourly, never open-ended. Cadence and scope quoted after a short scoping call.

MONTH ONE

Production PRs in week two. Numbers in week four.

From the first week, everything lands as pull requests through your pipeline. Nothing moves without your review rules.

Week 1
Baseline captured. Agentic environment established inside your controls.
Week 2
First agentic pull requests through your pipeline, against real backlog items.
Week 3
Your developers working alongside agents — patterns documented as they prove out.
Week 4
First monthly measurement against baseline: delivery speed, quality, coverage, defects, human effort.
FAQ

Common questions.

A senior commerce engineer who joins your team on a defined cadence — two days a week, three days a week, or dedicated — and uses AI agents inside your own repositories, pipelines and approval rules to implement your roadmap. The engagement has defined objectives and monthly measurement against your baseline, and the workflows stay with your team when it ends.
Staff augmentation sells hours; we commit to objectives. The engagement is scoped around your assessment roadmap, measured monthly against a baseline, and designed to end well: the agentic workflows, tooling and documentation stay with your team. Fixed fee, agreed before we start — never hourly, never open-ended.
You keep everything: the agentic development environment, the documented workflows, the measurement setup and the software shipped along the way. Nothing lives in our accounts or on our infrastructure. If your team can't run the workflow without us, we haven't finished the job.
Yes. Embedded engagements sit inside your team, not in place of your vendors. We work through your existing pipeline and review rules, coordinate with your agency's release process, and usually focus on the agentic workflow layer your agency doesn't cover.

Embedded starts where the assessment ends.

The assessment produces the scorecard, backlog and roadmap; embedded engagements execute them. Start there.
