Power up your team
Engineers who join your team and ship.
Axios embedded Echobind engineers for eight months to ship a React Native app on a deadline their in-house team didn't have the capacity to hit. Univision and Teladoc Health have done the same.
The engineers and designers you talk to are the ones who join your team. Tell us where the gap is and you'll have a staffing plan and a rough budget within two business days.
How embedding works
Map the gap
Your requirements and a map of your in-house coverage: who's on what, what's covered, what isn't. Sometimes the gap is capacity. Sometimes it's a specialty like React Native, voice, or a payments integration. That decides who joins and for how long.
They join your team
Your repo, your standups, your review process, your PM tooling. Our pull requests go through your review queue like anyone else's until your team decides otherwise.
They ship inside your constraints
The work fits your architecture and your operations. Changes stay as small as the job allows, and the people your product touches, like a call center, are part of the plan rather than surprised by it.
Your team owns it after
Handoff is planned from the start, so your engineers can keep working in the codebase without us. Abby Care's own web developers now contribute to the app we built, and they brought us back months later for an audit and an upgrade. You keep a direct line to Echobind the whole time if you need to switch people or ways of working.
Who joins
Engineers
Web and mobile, front end and API. React and React Native are the daily stack; Stripe, Medplum, and Alexa integrations are on the case-study pages.
React · React Native · Next.js · Expo · Stripe
Designers and UX
Product designers who take one screen or one flow from problem to engineering spec. At Calibrate that was a prototype, testing sessions with their members, and a documented feature set for engineering in about four weeks.
Figma · Prototypes · Member testing
Project management support
For when the bottleneck is coordination as much as code: ticket triage, build requests, and keeping the queue honest inside your PM tooling.

Three teams we joined
Every name and number comes from a published case study.
- News media
Axios
Eight months inside the Axios engineering team.
A tight deadline for new iOS and Android apps, and no in-house capacity to build them while supporting the core infrastructure.
Embedded engineers built app features, contributed to the news feed API, and set up post-launch monitoring. The apps launched on time and received thousands of four- and five-star ratings.
- Streaming media
Univision
Onboarded fast, then trusted with the whole front end.
After acquiring VIX, Univision needed a proof of concept of the redesigned PrendeTV app across iOS, tvOS, Android, Android TV, and Fire TV, and needed whoever joined to onboard quickly.
Our engineers sat in the PrendeTV team's daily standups, started with the Video On Demand section in React Native, and were eventually trusted to review and approve the team's own pull requests. The scope grew to the whole front end including live TV. The app shipped on the App Store, Google Play, Fire TV, and Roku, and we still maintain it.
- Healthcare
Teladoc Health
A voice telehealth visit, launched with Amazon.
A patient should be able to start a telehealth visit through an Alexa device, without disrupting the call center representatives who handle those visits today.
We worked through their stack with engineering, product, and call center teams so every change was limited to what the voice flow required. It went live with no significant glitches, and Teladoc Health and Amazon announced it together.
How we start
Two business days to a staffing plan.
Tell us the gap, the deadline, and the stack. You get a proposed plan (which roles, for how long, attached to what) and a rough budget.
Questions about your stack get answered by the people who will do the work, because they're the ones on the call.
Tell us where the gap is.
Deadline, specialty, or both.
