The challenge
A funded logistics scale-up landed a major enterprise contract and needed to triple delivery capacity immediately — but couldn't risk the lead time or disruption of permanent hiring.
Our approach
We embedded three senior engineers directly into the client's existing squads, tooling, and stand-ups. They ramped on the codebase in under two weeks and worked under the client's own engineering leads.
The outcome
The enterprise integration shipped on the contracted date. When the spike passed, the client flexed the team back down with two weeks' notice — no severance, no idle headcount.
We had three senior engineers in our stand-ups inside two weeks. When the contract spike passed, we scaled back down just as cleanly. That flexibility is the whole point.
