Talent & Teams·Engagement Models·Embedded Engineer
Embedded Engineer.
Senior capacity inside your team, without adding permanent headcount.
A vetted senior engineer embeds in your team full-time. Your standups, your board, your definition of done. They are not split across accounts or swapped when another client calls. Lateral handles the contracting and support; you get a senior teammate who can stay for years. Most clients meet matched engineers in about a week.
How it works
The work, in practice.
We match on the stack, the time zone, and the temperament, then get out of the way. The engineer works inside your process with AI tooling, benefits, and a dedicated success lead behind them. All of that sits in the 25% of the rate that isn't the engineer's pay, not on your invoice as a line item.
- Full-time and dedicated. No shared allocation, no bench rotation, no surprise handovers
- Senior, never swapped: the engineer who starts is the engineer who finishes
- Two-week trial at the start; if the fit is wrong you pay nothing and we go again
- AI tooling, benefits, and a dedicated success lead included. One rate, no line items
- Replacement guarantee for the life of the engagement
