Your team,permanentlyextended.
Most outsourcing rents you bodies for a quarter, then walks your context out the door. We embed a dedicated pod that learns your codebase, joins your standups, and stays for years.
Same headcount.Two outcomes.
Give the same brief to a billed-by-the-hour contractor and to an embedded pod, and you get two different companies a year later. One rents you attention. The other compounds into your team.
Whoever is free gets assigned. Questions route through an account manager. Work ships in isolation against a statement of work, and the engineer rolls off when the contract ends.
A matched pod onboards into your stack, joins your rituals, and ships against your standards. The same people stay through the engagement, so velocity compounds sprint over sprint.
We do not staff projects. We embed into organisations.
Eight disciplines.One bench.
Every pod is built from a 65+ engineer bench that runs at senior and staff level. You pick the disciplines, interview the people, and we hold them at 100% allocation to your team.
01
Full-stack engineers
End-to-end product engineers who own a feature from database to UI and ship it inside your sprint.
02
Frontend engineers
UI engineers who hold a performance budget, build for accessibility, and work straight from Figma to production.
03
Backend engineers
API architects who design for scale, security, and reliability, and document the systems they own.
04
AI / ML engineers
Model builders who ship production AI systems, evaluated against real data, not notebooks left in a drawer.
05
DevOps engineers
Infrastructure engineers who automate the toil, codify the stack, and keep deploys boring.
06
Mobile engineers
Cross-platform specialists who ship to the App Store and Play Store from one codebase.
07
QA engineers
Quality engineers who automate regression suites and gate releases before anything reaches production.
08
Data engineers
Pipeline engineers who turn raw exports into modelled, queryable, reliable intelligence.
You interview every engineer before they join. We hold the bench so there is no months-long search between deciding and shipping.
Discovery to full velocity,in four phases.
Most teams take months to make an outside hire productive. We structure the embed so the first PRs ship inside two weeks and sprint velocity stabilises by day 30. The same four phases run whether the pod is three engineers or twelve.
Discovery and scoping
- Audit the codebase, map the architecture and deploy pipeline
- Capture your definition of done and review standards
- Agree the engagement scope with your team
By day 10 the pod looks like part of your team. By day 30 it ships like one.
Embedded,but on your terms.
The pod runs inside your rituals, on your repos, under your policies. Routine engineering flows on the sprint board. Anything that touches production, money, or scope routes back to you for sign-off, and every decision leaves a written trail.
Full IP ownership
Every line ships to your repos on your infrastructure. You own the code from the first commit. No lock-in, no extraction fees.
Direct communication
You talk to your engineers, not an account manager. Your Slack, your standup, your retro. No layer in between.
Dedicated allocation
Every engineer on your pod works on your project only. Never split across three other clients.
Continuous handoff
Runbooks, diagrams, and recorded walkthroughs build as the pod ships, so your team can operate everything later.
Outcome aligned
Measured by shipped features and sprint completion on a monthly retainer, not by timesheets.
Senior talent,without the local bill.
Pods run on a monthly retainer with a three-month minimum. Per engineer, that is typically 40 to 60 percent below equivalent US-based talent at the same skill level, before you count the churn you avoid by keeping the same people.
Tell us the disciplines and timeline; we send back a scoped number.
Inside your stack,not beside it.
By day five the pod is provisioned into the same tools your core team already uses. Code review, planning, comms, and CI/CD all run in your accounts, under your access controls.
Embedded teams,real platforms.
Common questions about integrated teams.
What teams ask before they bring an embedded pod inside.
Minimum viable pod: 1 tech lead + 2 senior engineers + 1 mid-level engineer. Typical pod: 1 tech lead + 3-4 senior engineers + 2 mid + 1 design lead + 1 product designer. Larger engagements scale up to 12-person pods with SRE and security specialists.
65+ engineers headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan, with client-facing offices in Austin and Doha. Time zone coverage: we structure engagements with daily 2-3 hour synchronous overlap windows for US clients, async written handoff for the rest of the day.
We hire at senior and staff level through a multi-stage process that includes live, client-style work, not just whiteboard puzzles. We screen as hard for communication and ownership as for technical depth, because an embedded engineer has to reason with your executives and own what they ship in production. That bar is why a pod is effective from its first week.
Pods run on a monthly retainer, priced per pod rather than per hour, with a three-month minimum and then month to month. Per engineer it typically lands 40 to 60 percent below equivalent US-based talent at the same skill level, and you own all the code, infrastructure, and IP from the first commit. Tell us the disciplines and timeline and we send back a scoped number.
Every Integrated Team engagement produces continuous documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, onboarding guides, code walkthroughs recorded on Loom. At engagement end, your internal team can operate everything BearPlex built. No vendor lock-in.
The team you wishyou could hire.
Tell us the disciplines you need and the stack you run. We will come back with a matched pod, the people for you to interview, and a start date inside two weeks.
