What we do

In the decision

Present for the tradeoff, rather than handed the outcome of it.

Matched to your domain

Week one is not spent learning what your customers want.

Fluent in your stack

Productive in an existing repository, even one nobody has documented.

Honest

Willing to say when the thing you asked for is not the thing you need.

Common questions

How is a forward-deployed engineer different from a developer?

A forward-deployed engineer writes the code and owns the problem behind it. They work inside your team rather than behind a delivery process, sit in the meetings where tradeoffs get decided, and implement those decisions themselves.

Can I hire a single developer from Algosoup?

Sometimes, but the better framing is usually a pod. Even a one-person pod comes with the Algosoup operating model: product judgment, delivery ownership, and direct collaboration.

Do you provide React, Node, Python, or AI developers?

Yes, and we choose the right stack for each project. But we try not to let the small questions lead. Implementation is where almost all of the work and almost all of the risk actually sits.

How is this different from staff augmentation?

Staff augmentation sells capacity. Our model sells an embedded delivery unit. The pod can take ownership of product and technical decisions rather than waiting for someone else to specify them.

Tell us what you need built.

A 20 minute call is enough to work out whether a pod fits. The first week of work is defined on that call.
