Your Team, Plus Ours
Senior engineers who plug into your codebase, your standups, your PRs. Not outsourced bodies. Teammates.
Same Slack channels. Same sprint cadence. Same quality bar. The only difference is they're from Chrono.
Embedded Engineering That Fits Your Team
Full-Stack Engineers
Senior engineers who work across your frontend, backend, and infrastructure. They don't wait for tickets. They own outcomes.
AI & ML Engineers
Engineers who ship LLM integrations, agent workflows, and ML features inside your existing product. Not a separate AI team. Your team, amplified.

Tech Leads & Architects
Technical leaders who guide architecture decisions, mentor your team, and unblock complex technical problems.

Embedded Senior Pods: FAQ
How fast can engineers start?
Most pods are assembled within a week. Your new engineers start contributing in their first week of integration.
What if an engineer isn't a good fit?
We replace them. No questions, no drama. We want the pod working as well as you do.
Do we manage the embedded engineers?
Day-to-day, yes. They report into your team lead or product owner. Chrono handles HR, performance, and career development.
What's the minimum engagement?
One engineer, one month. Most clients start with a two-person pod for three months and go from there.
Can we hire the engineers permanently?
Yes. After six months, you can convert any embedded engineer to a full-time hire with no fee.
