In fast-growing companies, priorities shift—and not every initiative justifies internal hiring. For SteadyMD, a non-core application needed engineering ownership for over a year, but bringing on full-time developers didn’t make sense. They needed a plug-and-play team who could build, maintain, and eventually retire the product with zero drag on their core squad.
We dropped in a senior engineering pod—fully embedded, fully accountable. This wasn’t generic staff aug. It was mission-driven augmentation: engineers who could handle frontend, backend, infrastructure, and support without requiring training wheels. We aligned to SteadyMD’s stack and security protocols, operated independently, and gave consistent updates without creating overhead. Our team wrote the code, fixed the bugs, ran the ops, and sunset the product cleanly—tactically valuable, strategically invisible.
• 14+ months of continuous support with zero attrition • Delivered and maintained the app without touching SteadyMD’s core team • No hiring cycles, no onboarding delays, no overcommitment • Engineers embedded seamlessly and shipped autonomously • Reduced operational burden while keeping velocity intact This is what embedded elite engineering looks like: invisible friction, visible results.
“The CONFLICT team embedded fast and owned the work completely. They didn’t just augment our team—they became the team. It let us stay focused on what mattered most.” — Patrick Evans, VPE, SteadyMD Through friction, we engineered focus.
