Your Team.
Extended.
Hiring takes months. We take days. Senior engineers embedded directly into your team, working your hours, in your tools, on your codebase.
There Is a Meaningful Difference.
It Matters.
Outsourcing hands a piece of work to a team sitting somewhere else working from a specification document. The work comes back when it is done. The handoff is the relationship.
Augmentation puts an engineer inside your team. They join your Slack. They attend your standups. They commit to your repository. The only difference between them and a permanent hire is the contract.
Engineers who are embedded in a team's context produce better work than engineers working from a brief. They know why decisions were made. They understand the constraints. They ask the questions that a remote contractor would never think to ask.
An embedded engineer is productive from day one. There is no handoff latency, no communication overhead, no waiting for the next scheduled call to unblock something.
You Will Meet the Engineer
Before They Start.
Not a profile. Not a portfolio PDF. A real conversation between you and the person who will be working on your codebase.
You ask them technical questions. You get a sense of how they communicate. You decide whether they are the right fit for your team's culture and working style. If they are not, we find someone else.
This commitment adds a day or two to the matching process. It is worth it. The alternative is discovering the fit is wrong after the person has been embedded in your team for two weeks, which costs everyone significantly more.
We do not place junior or mid-level engineers for augmentation engagements. The value of augmentation comes from having someone who can work independently, make good decisions without supervision, and contribute to the codebase from the first week.
Senior Across Every
Major Discipline.
What Augmentation
Costs.
Senior engineer rates start from $8,000 per month for a full-time embedded placement. Part-time and specialist rates vary by discipline.
We are not the cheapest option in the market. We are also not placing engineers who will spend their first two weeks reading your documentation. The conversation about rates happens on the first call.
Right Fit.
Wrong Fit.
- A team with more work than it can deliver that cannot hire fast enough to keep up
- A company with a specific technical gap that needs to be filled while a permanent hire is found or instead of one
- A business running a time-critical project that needs additional capacity for a defined period
- Anyone who wants to hand a project to an external engineer and receive it back when it is finished — that is outsourcing
- Anyone whose team does not have the onboarding capacity to bring someone new into the codebase
- Anyone looking for the lowest hourly rate in the market
