German Navigation Product Team (C++)

Sevendyne hired and staffed a dedicated C++ engineer for a German navigation product company, then that engineer worked inside the client’s product team — remote staffing with Employer-of-Record payroll — to develop embedded navigation software on the client’s roadmap.

3-minute CTO brief — dedicated IC embed

We staffed one senior C++ engineer and placed them inside the German product team’s sprint rhythm — standups, client-led code review, and pairing with navigation tech leads on release trains. They needed an IC inside their process — not a vendor squad quoting milestones. Sevendyne handled recruit, employment, and retention; the client owned roadmap, PR approval, and release trains.

  • Role: Real-time embedded C++ on navigation stack
  • Economics: Engineer cost at actuals + fee band (5% / 10% / 15%)
  • Contrast: Single IC vs multi-engineer product pod

What “embedded” means in practice

  • Engineer uses client Git, Jira, and build farms — same as a local hire.
  • Sevendyne handles Indian statutory compliance (PF, ESIC, TDS) and employment contracts.
  • If the engineer leaves, Sevendyne runs replacement search — client interviews, we employ.

When this model fits

Product companies with clear technical leadership who need capacity, not consulting. You already know the architecture; you need a trusted engineer in the timezone overlap window without entity setup. Contrast with UK industrial (multi-engineer bench) or PayU (we build and ship modules).

Outcomes

  • Stable single-engineer pod with transparent actuals + staffing fee bands (5–15%).
  • No agency markup layers or bench rotation without notice.
  • Demonstrates Sevendyne from 1 IC to multi-year multi-discipline teams.
