The implant model

How we embed a team inside your customer, and keep it working.

We never sell one person for one project. That is body shopping, and it adds little. We embed a team that joins every ritual, planning and delivery, backed by the whole group.

The bridge

We bring your culture, not ours. A partner learns how you work in San Francisco, then leads your deployment in Europe.

San FranciscoYour team
SpainYour customer
Our partner learns your culture
and brings it to the deployment
    01

    Joins your team in San Francisco. Standups, reviews, planning. Time with your people, not a kickoff call.

    02

    Learns how you build. Your engineering standards, your product judgment, how you talk to customers.

    03

    Leads the deployment from Spain. The embedded team works your way inside your European customer.

Three roles

Your customer's team
MODULOR

Works inside your customer's team. Never alone: backed by leadership and the group.

  • Rituals
  • Pull requests
  • Planning
  • Delivery

Who looks after it

You hire engineers. We look after the account. Leadership, continuity and the relationship are our job, at no extra cost to you.

We watch. Weekly syncs and monthly account sessions surface problems before your customer feels them.

We care. 1:1s, reviews and mentoring keep every engineer growing, and staying.

We answer. If someone is not meeting expectations, that is our conversation to have and our profile to replace. Not yours.

The hardest part of the job

Forward deployed engineers belong nowhere. They work inside a customer that is not their employer, for a company they rarely see.

Nobody owns their growth. The customer sees a contractor, the employer sees a line on an invoice.

So the best ones leave. And your deployment loses the person who knew it best.

We have spent years building them a home. Every engineer belongs to a studio and to MODULOR, with rituals that keep them connected wherever they are deployed.

  • Weekly product status
  • Bi-weekly learning together
  • Quarterly Modulor summit
  • Annual retreat
  • Internal certifications
  • Career panels
  • AI champions

In practice

One profile became a team. A global company asked for one engineer. We added a tech lead at no extra cost to guarantee continuity and technical leadership. Together with the account partner, the lead meets the customer's CTO to find where to grow next.

Your customer gets

  • Reliable technical capacity
  • Visibility, speed and trust
  • Execution plus strategic judgment
  • Senior-level communication

You get

  • Methodology, culture and operations
  • Hiring, onboarding and performance
  • Profiles reinforced or replaced fast
  • Experience across industries
