DELIVERY & BUILD

    An AI-native engineer embedded inside your business

    Sometimes the fastest way to ship AI is to put a senior engineer inside your organisation for a fixed engagement. Our Forward Deployed Engineers come with the full Beyond Data toolkit, scope and deliver real systems using your internal context, and build to production discipline from day one. Quicker to mobilise than a full-time hire, and backed by the full Beyond Data consulting team when they need it.

    Is This For You?

    Honest fit, before we both commit.

    This is for you if…

    • You have a specific AI engagement you need shipped in a defined window
    • You want the velocity of an experienced AI consultant with the context of an internal hire
    • You want a production-grade build from day one, not a research spike you have to productionise later
    • You need AI built to high engineering standards without recruiting a full-time team first

    This probably isn't the right fit if…

    • You need a permanent team member, this is a fixed engagement, not a hire
    • You don't yet have a clear engagement scope, start with our strategy or roadmap services
    What You Get

    Four concrete deliverables.

    Engagement scoping, requirements analysis and technical design

    First two weeks are spent embedded in your business to get the scope right before writing any code.

    Hands-on development using Beyond Data's standard AI engineering stack

    Senior-led build using the same tools, patterns, and standards we apply across every Beyond Data engagement.

    Testing, deployment and production documentation

    Not a research spike. Production-grade testing, deployment, runbooks, and full technical documentation for the system that's shipped.

    Ongoing support path after the engagement

    When the engagement ends the system doesn't get abandoned. We offer continuity through optional ongoing support or pairing with your internal people if you have them.

    How We Work

    Senior-led. Outcome-first. No scoping theatre.

    Forward Deployed Engineers work full-time on your engagement for a fixed duration. They're embedded in your business like an internal hire, attending your standups, accessing your systems, and learning your context. When the engagement ends, you have a production-grade AI system running inside your business, with full documentation and an ongoing support path if you want one.

    Outcomes You Can Expect

    What changes after the engagement.

    A system in production, in weeks

    Full-time embedded delivery moves faster than any part-time model.

    Production discipline from day one

    Tests, observability, monitoring, and runbooks baked in from the first commit, not bolted on after go-live.

    Continuity after delivery

    Optional ongoing support so the system keeps running after the engagement ends, with the original engineer on call when needed.

    Faster than hiring, lower commitment

    A senior AI consultant embedded in your business within weeks, versus months of recruiting for a full-time role that may or may not work out.
