Embedded engineers

When the work needs more hands than your team has, we place IMRSNT data and software engineers inside it: at your offices, alongside your people, working to your priorities, with the rest of IMRSNT behind them.

Where your engineer works

The same engineers and the same commitment. What changes is where the work happens.

At your offices

Your engineer works from your premises on your working hours: at your stand-ups, in your planning sessions and on your systems, in Johannesburg, Pretoria or Cape Town.

Hybrid

On site for planning, workshops, handovers and other days that need a room, and remote for focused build time. The split is agreed up front and reviewed as the work changes.

Remote, on your team

Your engineer works from an IMRSNT office but inside your channels, your tools and your hours. You get the same person every day, not whoever happens to be free.

More than a contractor

An embedded engineer is one person at your desk and a whole company behind them.

Backed by a team

Code is reviewed by senior IMRSNT colleagues, hard problems get a second opinion, and leave is covered. You are never relying on a single person working alone.

Fluent in data

Our engineers come from the integration, warehousing and reporting work we deliver every day, so they start with the patterns your data problems usually follow.

Knowledge stays with you

Every placement has a handover plan from the first week: documented decisions, paired work with your staff, and nothing that only the departing engineer understands.

How a placement works

From a first conversation to an engineer at your desk, usually within a few weeks.
