Embedded engineering
Your next engineer, shipping next week.
Hestur embeds senior engineers in your team while you hire: forward deployed, AI, automation, backend, frontend. Start with a two-week sprint.
Who this is for
Founders, CTOs and heads of engineering at seed to Series B startups, many from Y Combinator, and at larger companies with an open engineering role. You have budget and a deadline, and the hire is weeks or months away.

Forward deployed engineer
Works with your customers, ships the integrations and deployments that close deals.

Why teams use us instead of waiting
The gap between now and your hire's start date.
Start in days, not after a three-month hiring loop
A 30-minute call and you have a sprint scoped. No req to write, no pipeline to run.
Senior engineers who have shipped AI products end to end
Not a junior bench. The people on your sprint have taken AI features to production before.
A bridge while you hire
We hand over cleanly when your hire starts. The code, the context, the decisions, all documented.
