Search & Discovery Engineers
When the capability needs to live inside your team rather than at an agency, we place senior search people who work your board, your standups, your tooling.
The problem
Hiring a search specialist takes five months you do not have
Search and discovery engineering is a narrow market, and the people who are good at it are rarely looking. Meanwhile the relevance backlog grows and the box keeps failing.
Embedded placement gets a senior operator in your standups in a fortnight, with our internal bench behind them for the problems one person should not solve alone.
What you actually get
Every engagement ships these. No line items you cannot point at.
Senior operator, embedded
Works in your tools, your rituals and your backlog. Not a ticket queue behind an account manager.
Bench access
Their whole practice is reachable behind them, so niche platform problems do not stall for a week.
Documented handover
Everything they build is documented for your team from the start, on the assumption the engagement ends.
Shared goals
They carry your team metric, not a utilisation target. Reviewed monthly with you.

How we run it, week by week
Match
We scope the gap and put forward two people with relevant platform history. You interview both.
Embed
Access, tooling and rituals. They start on real backlog, not a discovery phase.
First shipped work
A measurable improvement inside the first month is the bar we hold ourselves to.
Review
Progress against your metric, with the option to change scope, person or finish.
Stack we work in
Platform-agnostic. We work in whatever you already own and tell you honestly when it is the constraint.
Questions buyers ask us
Augmentation with a practice behind it. They work as part of your team, and they have senior peers to escalate to, which a contractor does not.
