Common questions

Frequently asked.

What work can the embedded engineer do?
Infrastructure, cloud operations, AI integration, workflow automation, or DevOps -- whatever combination fits your sprint priorities. The scope is agreed monthly in sprint planning.
Is the embedded engineer available for meetings during our business hours?
Yes. The engagement is structured around your team's working hours. Availability within your sprint ceremonies is a condition of the retainer.
What is the difference between 20 and 40 hours per month?
20 hours is appropriate for strategic advisory with light implementation -- architecture guidance, code review, and one or two sprint tasks per month. 40 hours is equivalent to a part-time senior engineer doing hands-on implementation work.
Can we cancel if it is not working out?
Yes. 30 days written notice cancels the retainer. The month in which you give notice is fully covered at the agreed rate.
