Embedded engineering
Senior engineers join your team, work in your processes, and leave it stronger than they found it.
We're full-stack engineers. Not “comfortable across the stack,” not “primarily backend with some frontend,” but full-stack in the literal sense, working vertically through every layer of a feature: data model, API, UI, deploy, and increasingly the LLM calls in between. A new feature touches all of those at once. So does a performance problem. Working across the whole thing is how we keep the seams from becoming someone else's problem.
How we choose technology
We aim for tools that are both modern and production-proven. The frontier is exciting, but most of our clients aren't paying us to be the first team to try something. They're paying us to ship reliable software. So our defaults are deliberately mainstream: React and Next.js on the frontend, Rails when we want speed and a mature ecosystem, Elixir/Phoenix where concurrency and fault tolerance are the bottleneck, Rust for the systems where correctness and performance aren't optional.
We're not dogmatic about any of this. If your product fits a different stack better, or if you've already invested in one, we'll work in what makes sense. And if you specifically want to bet on something earlier-stage, we're up for that too, with a clear-eyed conversation about what you're trading off.
Our default toolbox
- React + Next.js
- Rails
- Elixir / Phoenix
- Rust
LLMs are part of the stack now
Web applications increasingly include LLM calls, agentic workflows, and the infrastructure that supports them: retrieval, evaluations, prompt management, the works. We treat that as part of full-stack work, not a separate specialty. The same engineers writing your API and your React components are thinking about where models fit, where they don't, and what the production tradeoffs look like.
The unglamorous parts, done well
Auth, payments, file handling, search, internationalization: every product eventually needs them, and nobody wants to be the one who built them poorly. We've done them enough times to do them well without making them the project.
How we plug in
Project-based work
A defined scope, a defined timeline, a working deliverable.
Architecture and review
Bring us in for the high-leverage decisions and code reviews, even when day-to-day implementation stays in-house.
Teams we've shipped with
AIA
WyeWorks demonstrated their capabilities to deliver trust across the entire organization, meeting critical deadlines and doubling team velocity.
Process ConsultingBackend Development
Fountain
WyeWorks helped Fountain launch several new products in a matter of months, enabling the hiring of hundreds of thousands of workers.
