The hardest engineering problems aren't solved from the outside. They live inside production environments — existing systems, undocumented workflows, security constraints, customer requirements, integration problems, and constantly changing priorities.
Corinth Forward-Deployed Engineers work directly alongside your team to understand the environment, design the solution, build it, integrate it, and ship it.
Every engagement runs under an outcome charter — a one-page agreement naming what ships and how it's measured — reviewed monthly, so embedded work never drifts into ticket-taking.
Discuss an embedded engagementEmbed experienced engineers to design and deploy production AI systems inside your organization — your tools, your standups, your environment, with accountability for shipped outcomes.
Extend your engineering team into customer environments. Corinth deploys, integrates, customizes, and productionizes your product for enterprise customers — so you can sell without losing hiring battles for deployment talent.
Use forward-deployed engineering when the challenge cannot be separated cleanly from the environment where the software needs to operate: AI deployments, enterprise customer implementations, integration-heavy projects, complex modernization, and engineering capacity with ownership.
A forward-deployed engineer is a software engineer embedded inside a client organization — working in the client's tools and meetings, diagnosing problems, and accountable for shipped outcomes rather than tickets. The role was popularized by Palantir and is now central to enterprise AI deployment.
FDE as a service means engaging embedded forward-deployed engineers on a monthly basis instead of hiring them. With roughly 2,000 FDEs worldwide and frontier-lab compensation dominating the market, most companies cannot hire one — Corinth Systems provides the embedded capability without the recruiting war.
Yes. For AI companies, Corinth acts as a forward-deployed implementation partner: our engineers integrate, customize, deploy, and productionize your product inside your customers' environments, so your team can focus on the product.
Whether you're hiring FDEs and can't find them, or need deployment capacity for customer rollouts — an embedded Corinth engineer can be in your standup in about two weeks.
