Forward Deployed Engineering

Engineers who help you
reach production.

A mutexer engineer works alongside your team to plan, build and run your application on the mutexer platform, with one accountable point of contact from the first plan to the running system.

What we help with

Our engineers work with yours to shorten the ramp-up, review the work and unblock it.

Planning and architecture

Shape the application and how it will run on the mutexer platform before the build starts.

Application development

Help building with AI: prompting strategy, code review and integration patterns.

Infrastructure

Sizing the machines your application needs, deploying brokers and databases, and setting up backups and operational practice.

Data

Schema design, migrations, query performance and the reporting pipelines built on top.

Upskilling your team

Your engineers learn the platform alongside the build, so they can carry it forward.

Ongoing support

Questions answered between sessions by email, and in Slack or Teams where we agree it.

On-site commissioning is not part of Forward Deployed Engineering.

Choose how closely we are involved

Three engagement levels, each a monthly engagement separate from your platform subscription. We agree the right one with you once we have talked through your project.

Advisor

Your team leads the build. We guide the architecture and get you unblocked.

  • 4 hours of kick-off planning
  • 8 hours of project support a month
  • Monthly one-hour sync
  • Email support

Dedicated

Several workloads, multi-tenant needs, or device integration alongside a live application.

  • 16 hours of kick-off planning
  • 32 hours of project support a month
  • Weekly and monthly one-hour syncs
  • Email, Slack or Teams, with priority response
  • Quarterly roadmap review

Month to month unless agreed otherwise. On-site commissioning is not included.

How we get started

An engineering engagement starts with a conversation about your project, not a plan to pick.

  1. Discuss

    Tell us about the application, the equipment it connects to and where it needs to run.

  2. Assess fit

    We look at what you are building and tell you plainly whether mutexer suits it.

  3. Agree scope

    Together we agree the scope, how involved we are and the price.

  4. Start

    Kick-off planning sets the architecture and the order of work, and the engagement begins.
