NewForward Deployed Engineers

We build websites and apps that move businesses forward.

Cross-platform apps in Flutter and React Native, native iOS and Android in Swift and Kotlin—then the senior engineers who built them stay on for only the hours you need, so keeping them running costs a fraction of a full-time hire.

  • Direct communication
  • Clear milestones
  • Built to be maintained

Our promise

What every client can count on.

We’ll publish client stories only when they can be verified. Until then, here’s exactly what we commit to on every engagement.

  • 01

    You talk to the builders

    Direct access to the people designing and engineering your product—no relay through layers of account managers.

  • 02

    You always know where things stand

    Sprint plans, demos, and release notes make progress visible every cycle.

  • 03

    You own what we build

    Documentation and handover-ready artifacts so your team can run and extend the software.

  • 04

    We tell you when not to build

    If off-the-shelf tools or a simpler approach solve the problem, we’ll say so.

Got questions?

Frequently asked questions.

Clear answers to what people ask us most—about services, AI, hiring engineers, and support.

Softrious builds websites and web apps, cross-platform mobile apps in Flutter and React Native, and native apps in Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android). We provide Forward Deployed Engineers, staff augmentation, and dedicated developers, and keep software running with low-cost support and maintenance. We also build AI agents, chatbots, and custom software.

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is a senior engineer who works directly with your team and users instead of behind a ticket queue. Companies increasingly want FDEs because they turn unclear problems into shipped software quickly, integrate with real systems, and stay on to support what they built—without the cost and delay of a full-time hire.

You pay for the FDE hours your product needs each month, not a full-time salary. After launch most products need a few focused hours a week, not a full-time engineer, and AI-assisted triage and automated tests mean those hours go further. You still get a senior engineer who knows your code and your team—and you can scale hours up or down any month.

Yes. Support runs on low, fixed monthly plans sized to your app—usually a fraction of the cost of a full-time engineer—with no long lock-in. Plans cover websites, Flutter, React Native, Swift, and Kotlin apps, and software we didn’t build.

AI tools now write, refactor, and test much of the routine code, and draft first UI designs, so engineers spend their time on product decisions and quality. Our planning model shows noticeably shorter timelines for websites, apps, and custom software, and faster maintenance work—see the indicative ranges on our AI-accelerated delivery page. These are estimates, not client results; every timeline is confirmed in discovery.

Our engineers work in Cursor, Claude Code, and Google Antigravity for building and testing, and use Google Stitch for first UI drafts that our designers refine in Figma. Every AI-generated change is reviewed, tested, and approved by an engineer before it ships.

AI drafts unit, integration, and end-to-end tests alongside each feature. The full suite—plus visual regression checks—runs automatically on every change and before every release, and an engineer signs off on the result.

An AI agent is software that can understand a task, use your tools and data, and take actions—like qualifying leads, processing documents, or updating records—within limits you set. Softrious designs and builds custom agents around a specific workflow, with guardrails, evaluation, and a person in the loop for important decisions.

We work in focused discovery, design, and engineering cycles with clear milestones, visible progress, and maintainable code from day one.

Every engagement starts with discovery: we align goals, define the product scope, and create a shared roadmap before engineering begins. Interface flows are then designed and validated, so code is written against an agreed definition of the product.

Yes. Delivery includes design systems—consistent components, documented patterns, and reusable interface foundations—and release artifacts such as documentation and release notes, so progress is transparent and trackable.

Yes—it’s a core service, priced on low, fixed monthly plans. Forward Deployed Engineers stay close to your team to monitor, fix, update, and improve your websites, mobile apps, and software after launch, including software we didn’t originally build. Response times and coverage are agreed up front.

Book a call or send a short message through the contact page. We’ll discuss your goals, recommend a service or hiring model, and—if there’s a fit—start with discovery before any engineering begins.
