Staff Augmentation

Senior engineers who join your team, not just your Slack.

When you have the plan and the team but need more senior hands, our engineers join you directly. They work in your tools, follow your process and report to your leads, with our founders behind them to vet the fit and keep standards high.

The problem

Why this work usually stalls.

01

Hiring takes months

Good AI, data and platform engineers are hard to find, and every open seat delays the roadmap.

02

Contractors who need hand-holding

Juniors billed as seniors cost your team more time than they save.

03

Skills you need for months, not years

A migration, a model launch or a platform rebuild needs specialists for a stretch, not a permanent hire.

04

No one behind the contractor

When an individual freelancer struggles or leaves, the gap is yours to fill.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot.

How is this different from hiring a freelancer?
Our engineers are vetted by our founders, supported by a wider senior team and backed by a company that answers for the outcome. If something is not working, you talk to a founder, not a marketplace.
Do the engineers work in our time zone?
They work with live overlap in your day, and the exact hours are agreed upfront. Gulf, European and Southeast Asian clients get most of their working day; US clients get their morning.
Can we interview the engineers first?
Yes. You meet and choose the people who join your team, and they are the people who stay on the work.
How long is the minimum engagement?
It depends on the role. We agree the term and notice period upfront, and most engagements run for several months.
