In short
What is IT staff augmentation?
IT staff augmentation is adding external engineers to your own team for as long as you need them. They follow your processes and report to your leads, while the provider handles hiring, payroll, retention and replacements. It is faster and more flexible than full-time hiring, and gives you more control than outsourcing a project.
- Typical time to shortlist
- 1–2 weeks
- Daily overlap with your team
- 4+ hours
- Scale up or down
- Monthly
- Replacement if not a fit
- Free

Three ways to add engineering capacity
Dedicated squad
Two to six engineers with a lead, owning a product area or workstream inside your organisation.
- Tech lead included
- Shared delivery metrics
- QA and DevOps on demand
AI acceleration pod
A small senior team that introduces AI-assisted delivery to your engineers: tooling, review standards and training while shipping real work.
- Hands-on, not slides
- Playbooks you keep
- Measured before and after

How it works
From request to first commit in four steps
- Step 1
Share the role
Skills, seniority, time zone, start date and how long you need the engineer. A 20-minute call is enough.
- Step 2
Interview a shortlist
Within one to two weeks you meet two or three vetted engineers. You choose who joins.
- Step 3
Onboard in days
They join your tools, repo and ceremonies. We agree a 30-day plan and success measures with you.
- Step 4
Scale with confidence
Add or reduce engineers monthly. If someone isn't the right fit, we replace them at no cost.

FAQ
Staff augmentation questions
How quickly can an engineer start?
Most roles have a shortlist within one to two weeks, and engineers usually start within days of your decision. Niche roles can take a little longer; we tell you up front.
Will the engineers work in our time zone?
Yes. We guarantee at least four hours of daily overlap with US Eastern, US Pacific, UK or Central European working hours, and many engineers work fully aligned schedules.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Contracts assign all work product and intellectual property to you, and engineers sign NDAs and follow your security policies.
What does 'AI-fluent' mean in practice?
Our engineers use AI coding assistants, test generation and AI review tools daily, within your policies. They know when AI output needs rewriting and keep a human review on every change.
How is pricing structured?
A monthly rate per engineer based on role and seniority, with no placement fees. You can scale up or down with a month's notice.
