Not every engagement needs a separate project with its own scope. Sometimes a team just needs another senior engineer, embedded in how they already work, for as long as the work requires.

This is how we already work with clients: inside the client's own repository, on their release cadence, not ours. No separate branch that gets merged in occasionally. Working hours overlap with U.S. time zones, and updates get written so they outlive the call, for anyone who wasn't in the room. Every diff goes through review like any other pull request — including AI-assisted work: the specification comes first, and a person reviews what an agent produces before it reaches the main branch.

In practice:

Full access to the team's own tools, standups and planning. Not a black-box vendor relationship.
Backend, frontend or fullstack, depending on where the team actually needs depth.
Scoped for as long as the work requires: a specific initiative, a coverage gap, or an ongoing extension of the team.

This is a different shape of engagement than a fixed-scope project. It's capacity and seniority added to a team that already knows what it needs built, not a deliverable handed over at the end.

And we don't come in without access to the code and to the people. An embedded engineer working blind is an external vendor by another name.
