When it makes sense

Four situations where this beats hiring

And one where it does not: if the work is permanent, core to your product and ongoing, hire someone. We will tell you that on the call.

Hiring takes four months you do not have

A senior engineer takes twelve to sixteen weeks to source, interview and onboard. An embedded engineer starts in two, and you can convert them to a permanent hire later if it works.

The roadmap is spiky, headcount is not

A replatform needs four engineers for five months and one afterwards. Hiring for the peak leaves you overstaffed; hiring for the baseline leaves the peak unshipped.

One specialism is missing

The team is strong but nobody has shipped a Hydrogen storefront, or written a native module, or tuned a Postgres query plan under load. That gap does not justify a permanent hire.

Somebody senior left

Cover the gap credibly while you run a proper search, rather than making a rushed hire because the roadmap is stalling.

Models

Three ways to bring people in

Same engineers throughout. The difference is how much delivery ownership you keep.

Embedded engineer

One or more of our people join your standups, your repo and your on-call rotation. You manage the work; we handle contracts, cover and continuity.

Pod

A self-contained team — lead engineer, two developers, part-time designer — that owns a stream of work end to end and reports on outcomes.

Fractional lead

A senior architect for one or two days a week: reviews, technical decisions, hiring support and the arguments nobody internally can win alone.

What we commit to in writing

  • One-month rolling contracts, two weeks' notice either way

FAQ

Augmentation questions

Agencies place people they have never worked with. Every engineer we place is a Clownmind employee who has shipped with our other teams, is reviewed by our leads, and has the rest of the studio to escalate to when they hit something unfamiliar.

No. Embedded engineers are allocated full-time to one client. Fractional architects are explicitly part-time and you know exactly which days you have them.

After six months you can convert an embedded engineer to a permanent hire with no conversion fee. Before six months there is a pro-rated fee. We would rather you kept a good engineer than lost one to our contract terms.

You direct the work day to day. We handle appraisals, pay, cover and career development, and our delivery lead checks in monthly to catch problems you might be too polite to raise.

That is the usual pattern. Most pods started as a single embedded engineer whose scope grew. Scaling up takes two to four weeks depending on the specialism.
