BY SITUATION · EMBEDDED SENIOR TEAM

Senior engineers, embedded in your team — owning delivery, shipping alongside you.

You have founders or an in-house team, but you need senior people who own the roadmap and ship with you — not a staffing gap-fill. After meeting more than 80 development agencies, Engine by MoneyLion chose Kodius as its long-term product team. Since 2019, Kodius has been Engine's full-stack development and design team — building and shipping three flagship products alongside them.

Senior engineers embedded in your team.
IS THIS YOU?

Three situations bring clients to an embedded senior team.

1 Trigger

You have funding and a vision, but no team to own delivery.

You can describe the product and the roadmap, but there is no senior engineering team that owns shipping it. You need people who take the roadmap as their own — set the architecture, make the calls, and deliver — not contractors who wait to be told what to build.

After meeting more than 80 development agencies, Engine by MoneyLion chose Kodius as its long-term product team. Kodius has owned full-stack development and design ever since.

2 Trigger

Your in-house team needs senior people shipping alongside them.

You have founders or an in-house team, but delivery is capped by seniority — the hard architecture calls, the integrations, the parts that need someone who has shipped this before. Hiring that bench takes months you would rather spend shipping.

Kodius embeds a senior product team that ships with your people, not around them — owning whole products end to end. For Engine, that has meant three flagship products built and scaled since 2019.

3 Trigger

You need a long-term product team, not a staffing gap-fill.

A temporary team that churns every quarter never builds the context that makes delivery fast. You want a team that stays — that knows the product, the customers, and the roadmap years in, and keeps shipping through every stage of growth.

Engine has had its full-stack development and design team in Kodius since 2019 — a partnership that grew revenue threefold to a $440M valuation and acquisition by MoneyLion.

What an engagement looks like

Two weeks to know what you have. Then a team that builds it.

Step 1

2-week diagnostic

A senior engineer and product lead read the code, talk to your team, and write up exactly what we’d do in the first 90 days. You keep the document either way.

Step 2

3–9 month embedded team

A team of 3–5 senior engineers, product, and design slots into your stand-ups, your repo, and your roadmap. We run the build; you run the company.

Step 3

Weekly demos, monthly retros

You see working software every Friday. Every month we sit down and decide what the team works on next — and what we stop doing.

  • Fixed monthly retainer — no surprise invoices, no hourly games.
  • You own the code from day one. Repo, infra, accounts — all in your name.
  • A named tech lead who shows up on every call. Not a rotating bench.
LEAD PROOF · EMBEDDED SENIOR TEAM

Engine by MoneyLion: a funded company that chose one team to build and scale with.

What we don’t do

Saying no to the wrong work is how we stay good at the right work.

  • No hourly staff augmentation.

    We don’t rent out engineers by the hour. Engagements are fixed-scope teams with a named tech lead, billed monthly.

  • No white-label subcontracting for marketing agencies.

    We don’t hide behind another agency’s logo. If our work ships under your brand, our name is on the contract.

  • No pre-seed co-founder-for-equity.

    We build software for funded teams that can pay. We are not your technical co-founder in exchange for a slice of the cap table.

  • No RFPs or public-sector procurement.

    We don’t respond to vendor questionnaires or 90-page RFPs. If your buying process needs that, we are not the right fit.
