Forward deployed engineers
Lyra hires, manages and places AI engineers inside your company, from a single project to an ongoing seat on the team. They build on your own stack, document what they ship and teach your people as they go.
Companies don’t need another tool billed per seat. They need someone who understands the problem and builds the exact workflow that solves it.
Agents that triage the inbox, chase leads as they land and watch for what breaks at 2am. A human stays in the loop on anything irreversible.
Built inside the tools you already use and shipped to production, not left in a sandbox demo. You own the code.
Figures pulled from scattered spreadsheets and tools into one view that refreshes itself, so the weekly update stops being an afternoon of copy and paste.
Lead routing, reporting, document handling, support triage: the recurring job that quietly costs someone a day a week, handed to a system that just runs.
Product, design, engineering and delivery people from the Lyra network, each one working with agents day to day. Hire by role or by project, freelancers included.

Shorter projects and longer-term placements, sized to what you actually need.
| Criterion | Full-time hire | Lyra engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Salary, benefits, employer tax and often equity. | From €4,500 a month. No benefits, employer tax or equity to manage. |
| Hiring | You source, interview and onboard the engineer yourself. | Lyra recruits, vets and manages the engineer. You review their profile and past work before committing. |
| Time to start | Weeks of interviews, then onboarding. | Usually matched within days. Lyra runs part of the onboarding with you. |
| Experience | One person’s view, shaped by the last company they worked for. | Engineers who have already shipped across different industries, bringing what actually works. |
| Commitment | A permanent headcount line. | A six-month minimum for the standard engagement, or a scoped project. |
| What stays with you | Knowledge stays with the person. | Everything is documented as it is built. Your engineer also runs AI workshops for your technical and non-technical staff. |
Every engineer is selected by AI engineers and CTOs, then checked for fit by an organisational psychologist.
We look at your systems, your team and your backlog, and come back with what an embedded engineer could build first.
Review their profile and the work they have shipped before you commit to anything.
The first week is spent learning how your team works. Lyra runs part of the onboarding with you.
An AI engineer who works inside your team and your tools, building and maintaining software that runs in production, rather than an outside consultant who delivers a report and leaves.
Engagements start from €4,500 a month, with a six-month minimum for the standard engagement. The first month is half price. Shorter projects and longer placements are scoped with you.
You do. Everything runs on your own stack and is documented as it is built, so you can take it in-house whenever you want.
Candidates are selected by AI engineers and CTOs who have done the work themselves. An organisational psychologist then checks for technical and cultural fit before anyone is proposed.
Lyra replaces them with someone who is, and moves the original engineer to another project.
