Why teams choose Ryz for forward deployed engineering

Forward deployed means inside

Our forward deployed engineers do not build in a sandbox and throw code over the wall. They work in your cloud accounts, your repos and your CI, with your security and access rules.

One team with yours

FDEs join your standups, pair with your engineers and demo working software every week. Your people learn the system as it is built.

Senior by design

A typical FDE pod is about seven senior engineers, including a tech lead, an ML engineer and backend engineers. Every one comes from the top 1% of the tens of thousands of engineers we have interviewed.

Built to hand over

When the system is done, we can hand it over to your team, or keep growing the pod as the scope grows. Either way, you own the code.

How it works

Proof in production

Our teams build AI that runs in production, not pilots. Client names stay private, the numbers do not:

Ryz is trusted by Fortune 500 engineering teams, and only the top 1% of the tens of thousands of engineers we have interviewed make it onto a Ryz team.

Questions

How much do forward deployed engineering services cost?

Custom quote, scoped per team. Pricing depends on the pod size, the seniority mix and the scope of the system. After the first conversation you get a scoped plan, a price and the names of the people who would do the work.

How does contracting work?

You sign one contract with Ryz. Our engineers work with us as independent contractors, and we handle paying them. Ryz is not an employer of record. If you need people on your own payroll, we also run direct-hire placement and executive search.

Do your FDEs work our hours?

Yes. Our engineers are based in Latin America and work within one hour of US time zones, including New York hours. Your FDE pod works in the same day as your team, with standups and weekly demos on your calendar.

How quickly can an FDE team start?

It depends on the roles, the seniority and how many people you need. On the first call we look at your requirements and give you a realistic plan with named people, not a generic promise.
