Embedded, not outsourced
Works in your meetings, your data and your constraints — integration happens where the work is.
FORWARD DEPLOYED
Hire Forward Deployed Engineers
The rollout role AI-native companies swear by: an engineer embedded in your business who turns AI capability into deployed workflow.
WHY CONECTIA
Why AI rollouts need an FDE
Models are ready; organizations aren't. A forward deployed engineer closes that gap from inside your team, where the real constraints live.
Full-stack plus infrastructure
Prototype to production in one person: interface, APIs and the deployment path underneath.
Transfer built in
The exit criterion of an FDE engagement is your team operating the system without them.

PROCESS · 72 HOURS
From discovery call to working engineer
No self-serve marketplace, no CV roulette: a CTO scopes the role with you and matches from a bench that already passed the hard filter.
Discovery with a CTO
Thirty minutes on your stack, constraints and definition of done — with an engineer, not a salesperson.
Bench match
We match against vetted seniors only. If the fit is not there, we say so instead of stretching a profile.
Match in 72 hours
The person for your context, with real code and architecture assessments attached — interviews optional, not mandatory.
14-day Pilot Sprint
Judge working output on your repo before any long-term commitment. Zero-risk by design.

DEPLOYMENT · THE FULL ARC
Staffing ends at the match. Deployment ends at the handover.
Marketplaces optimize the moment you accept a profile; everything after is yours to run. Every Conectia engineer ships with the full arc around them — not as a premium tier, but as the only way we place anyone.
Find
CTO-designed vetting passes 3% of candidates — and we present the person for your context, not a stack of CVs to interview through.

FAQ
What CTOs and founders ask us
What is a forward deployed engineer?
A senior engineer who embeds with a customer team to adapt and deploy technology inside real workflows — a model proven by Palantir and now standard at AI-native companies.
How is an FDE different from a consultant?
Consultants recommend; FDEs commit code. The deliverable is a working system in production, plus a team trained to run it.
How long is a typical FDE engagement?
Weeks to a few months per workflow: from a 14-day Pilot Sprint to rollout, with knowledge transfer as the closing phase.
Can FDEs work with sensitive data?
Yes — engagements run under your access controls, with EU-grade DPAs, on-VPC deployment options and audit trails.
What outcomes should we expect?
A deployed AI workflow with measured adoption and cost, documentation, and an internal owner trained to operate it.
