Staff augmentation
Sometimes the plan is fine and the bottleneck is hands. Hiring senior engineers takes months and carries commitment you may not need; we can embed people in your team in weeks, working your way from the start, for as long as the need lasts.

For when the constraint is people
You know what to build; there just are not enough senior engineers to build it. Recruitment is slow, expensive and permanent - the wrong tool for a nine-month bulge in the roadmap. Augmentation exists for exactly this gap.
They work your way
The engineers we embed join your standups, use your tools, follow your definition of done. No parallel process, no separate reporting line, no way of working imposed from outside. And because they are senior, the ramp-up is short and the supervision burden is low - they arrive knowing how to join a team mid-flight.
- Embedded in your team and ceremonies
- Productive quickly, without hand-holding
- Direction and ownership stay with you
Flexible on the way in and the way out
Capacity flexes month to month as the roadmap moves. When the need passes, the exit is clean - knowledge handed over, no lock-in, and the option to bring people back if things pick up again.
Frequently asked questions
- How quickly can someone start?
- Weeks, typically - against the months a permanent hire takes. Seniority shortens the ramp: the engineers we bring in are used to joining unfamiliar codebases and being useful fast.
- Will they work in our process and tools?
- Yes, entirely. Your standards, your ceremonies, your definition of done - augmented engineers work exactly as your own staff do.
- What if we only need help for a short period?
- That is fine. Capacity flexes month to month, and a clean handover at the end is part of the service.
- How is this different from a managed team?
- Augmentation adds people under your direction; a managed team brings its own leadership and owns delivery end to end. If you want to stay in charge of the how, augmentation is the fit.
