Your world
Our engineers, inside your team.
TestRelic FDEs work from your office and inside your systems — in your scrums, owning your maintenance, and delivering the hard testing problems that can't be solved from the outside.

Hard isn't easy to solve — it's owned, in your sprint, until it ships.
What “embedded” means
Not a vendor behind a ticket queue.
Most outsourced engineering fails for one reason: the people doing the work are outside the room where the context is. Requirements get compressed into tickets, feedback arrives a sprint late, and the hardest problems never move because nobody outside can see them whole.
A TestRelic Forward Deployed Engineer works the other way around: physically in your office or directly inside your client systems, with the same access, the same stand-up, and the same sprint board as your own engineers. Your organization keeps the context, the control, and the code — and gains the delivery.
In your office
At the desk next to your team — not on the other end of a ticket queue.
Inside your systems
Your repos, CI, VPN, and staging environments — working where the problems live.
Under your access controls
Your security and compliance boundary applies. Context never leaves your walls.
Zero knowledge-transfer overhead
No handover documents, no re-explaining context to a rotating offshore bench.
Why organizations choose FDE
What your organization gains
Every benefit below comes from one structural difference: the engineer doing the work sits inside your team, your sprints, and your systems.
In your scrum, not on a call sheet
Your FDE attends your stand-ups, sprint planning, and retros. Priorities re-align sprint by sprint, in the room — no account manager, no status-call lag.
Maintenance is owned, not ticketed
Flaky tests, broken pipelines, and rotting suites get fixed continuously by someone who is already inside the system — before they become your team's problem.
Hard problems actually get delivered
Legacy suites, un-testable systems, cross-team quality gaps — the problems that stall for quarters get an owner with the mandate to finish. Hard isn't easy to solve, but it can be owned.
Speed from day one
No onboarding cycles, no re-explaining context on every call. Questions get answered at the next desk and decisions get made in the room, the same day.
Your team levels up
Working side by side with an FDE every day transfers testing practice, platform fluency, and hard-won patterns into your organization — and it stays after the engagement.
Platform-backed, not just hands
Every FDE brings the full TestRelic platform — analytics, memory, MCP tooling, auto-healing — as leverage. You gain a force multiplier, not just headcount.
How it works
One engagement, four steps
Scoping call
Tell us the problem that hasn't moved. We define the outcome, the systems involved, and the access your FDE needs.
Embed on-site / in-systems
Your FDE joins your office or your client systems under your access controls — repos, CI, staging, sprint board.
Deliver in your sprints
Work ships through your ceremonies: planned in your sprint planning, demoed at your review, maintained continuously.
Handover or extend
The outcome, the tests, and the practices stay with your team. Extend the engagement, or take it forward yourselves.

Tell us about the testing problem that hasn't moved in quarters. We'll tell you what it takes to own it — from inside your office, your systems, and your sprints.
