Overview
A Forward Deployed Engineer isn't a contractor executing a spec they own the outcome. They join your standups, learn your domain fast, and take full responsibility for shipping a working system, from architecture to production. Ideal for urgent, high-stakes technical problems that don't have a clear owner yet.

- Embedded, outcome-owning engagement
- End-to-end technical ownership
- Rapid domain ramp-up
