SERVICE 03 · EMBEDDED AI ENGINEERS

AI engineers inside your team
by next week.

Senior, AI native, working in your repo and your standup. Scoped to deliverables, not day rates.

NO RECRUITING PIPELINE · NO ONBOARDING QUARTER · NO LOCK-IN
NOT STAFF AUGMENTATION

A different kind
of extra hands.

WHAT IT'S NOT

A contractor waiting for tickets

No body shop, no bench, no anonymous CVs. You don't manage a vendor relationship, and you never get a mystery substitute.

WHAT IT IS

A senior engineer who has shipped agents

Someone who has put LLM systems into production, dropped into your team, contributing from the first week and scaling with your priorities.

WHAT YOU OWN

Everything, from the first commit

Code in your repo, infra in your cloud, docs in your wiki. If we leave tomorrow, nothing leaves with us.

WHAT THEY SHIP

The AI parts of your roadmap
your team hasn't done before.

AGENTS

Agent systems

Multi-step agents with tools, approvals and audit trails, built for production, not demos.

RETRIEVAL

RAG done properly

Retrieval over your real documents with evals that prove it answers correctly.

EVALS

Evals and guardrails

Test harnesses for LLM behavior, so changes ship with evidence instead of vibes.

INTEGRATIONS

LLMs in your product

Assistants, copilots and automation features wired into your existing codebase.

INFRA

AI infrastructure

Model routing, caching, cost control and observability that survives real traffic.

VOICE & CHAT

Conversational interfaces

Support and sales conversations over WhatsApp, web and voice that resolve, not deflect.

THE CADENCE

Week one,
not month three.

DAY 1

In the repo, in the standup

Access sorted, environment running, introductions done. The engineer reads code, not slide decks.

DAY 3 · SHIPPED

First pull request merged

Something small and real: a fix, a harness, a piece of plumbing the roadmap needs.

WEEK 2

On your release rhythm

Estimating in your planning, reviewing your team's code, shipping on your cycle like anyone else on payroll.

WEEK 6 · SHIPPED

A roadmap item in production

The AI feature you hired for is live, documented, and your team knows how it works inside out.

HOW WE CHARGE

Deliverables,
not day rates.

THE USUAL MODEL
  • A day rate that rewards slowness
  • Hours billed whether or not it ships
  • A lock-in shaped like a notice period
THE DCODAX MODEL
  • Scoped to named deliverables, priced fixed
  • Paid against things shipping, not hours passing
  • Thirty days notice, everything stays yours
COMMON QUESTIONS

Asked before, answered straight.

How is this different from hiring?

Hiring an AI engineer takes months and a salary you commit to before you know what you need. This starts next week, scoped to the work in front of you.

How is it different from an agency project?

There is no handoff because there is no outside. The engineer works in your repo, your standup and your review process from day one.

Can they work with our existing engineers?

That's the point. They pair, review and document so your team levels up on AI work instead of depending on us forever.

What if it's not a fit?

Say so in week one and you pay nothing further. Fit risk is ours to carry, not yours.

START WITH A CONVERSATION

Show us the roadmap.
We'll say honestly if we fit.

One conversation. If an embedded engineer is the wrong answer, you'll hear that too.
