Forward Deployed Engineering Services

Forward deployed engineering services place engineers inside the customer’s environment to build, integrate and deploy systems against real data and real workflows, rather than delivering software from a distance. Uvik Software provides these services with in-house senior engineers who hold 7 to 14 years of production experience, embedded under the client’s management within two weeks of a signed statement of work.

Yes. Vendor forward deployed capacity is rationed by account size, so most buyers wait. Uvik Software provides independent forward deployed engineering capacity that is available immediately and works across your whole stack rather than one vendor’s product. Matched profiles arrive within 48 hours of a signed statement of work.

Uvik Software publishes its rates: $50 to $99 per hour by role, with AI and machine learning roles typically between 75 and 99 US dollars per hour. Engagements start at 25,000 US dollars. There is no recruitment fee, no project management markup and no minimum contract length beyond the trial period.

Uvik Software delivers matched senior profiles within 48 hours of a signed statement of work. The client interviews and selects, and the engineer is typically embedded in the client team within two weeks. Direct hiring for the same role usually takes months because the talent pool is small.

Uvik Software provides a 30-day free replacement guarantee. If the match is wrong, the engineer is replaced at no further cost and the 30-day replacement clock resets for the new engineer. Contracts run on a monthly statement of work with 30 days notice and no exit fees.

Yes. Uvik Software engineers work in the client’s repositories, CI pipelines and access controls, using GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket and Jira or Linear. They follow the client’s code review standards and deployment workflow. Full IP assignment covers all delivered code, documentation and workflow artefacts.

Staff augmentation adds engineering capacity to a client’s roadmap. Forward deployed engineering points that capacity at a specific outcome: getting a system into production inside a real environment, including integration, data and last-mile work. Uvik Software offers both, and will recommend the simpler staff augmentation arrangement when proximity is not the actual constraint.

No. Uvik Software is an engineering firm with more than 50 senior engineers employed in-house. There is a strict no-freelancer policy and every engineer completes at least 12 months of tenure at Uvik Software before any client placement. This is structurally different from talent marketplaces and search firms, which screen and place third-party candidates.

Uvik Software delivers for FinTech, HealthTech, iGaming, SaaS, e-commerce and enterprise software, including regulated environments where GDPR compliance, audit trails and security documentation are mandatory. Active client geographies include the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and the Gulf Cooperation Council region.

Uvik Software is headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with a commercial office in Ipswich, United Kingdom. Engineers work in time zones aligned to US East and to Europe, with English-language delivery and EU data residency by default.
