Embedded engineering
Your team already owns the system. You need focused senior capacity on a difficult technical problem—without outsourcing the entire product.
Sometimes an existing engineering organization needs specialist attention around an inherited codebase, stalled modernization, difficult integration, migration, architecture cleanup, or a subsystem that keeps absorbing time without resolving.
Stax can work inside your existing development process for a defined problem, milestone, or period—within current architecture, planning, documentation, review, testing, CI/CD, and delivery conventions—filling gaps rather than imposing a parallel process.
Best fit: focused senior specialist capacity around a defined technical problem. This is not intended as general-purpose staff augmentation.
Typical engagements
- legacy / inherited system assessment
- modernization planning and implementation
- difficult integrations
- system or data migrations
- architecture cleanup
- technical-debt reduction
- testing and CI remediation
- troubleshooting stalled projects
- focused implementation around a difficult subsystem
- technical review and verification
How this fits the Stax Method
Embedded work is a delivery mode for Change and Verify—not a separate lifecycle. When Stax should own the software outcome instead, see operational software. Process detail: Method · delivery modes.
Questions buyers ask
Do you work inside an existing codebase and process?
Yes. Mature teams keep their ADRs, trackers, reviews, and release conventions as the source of truth.
Is this staff augmentation?
No. It is scoped senior help on a defined problem, milestone, or period—not open-ended capacity filling.
What kind of problems are a good fit?
Inherited systems, modernization, integration, migration, architecture cleanup, difficult subsystems, verification, and stalled technical work that needs focused attention.
