Staff Augmentation

A senior or lead web developer, available to join your team for a defined period. We work directly in your codebase, follow your processes, and hand over fully documented work at the end of the engagement.

Engagements are structured, time-bounded, and designed to complement your existing team rather than replace a permanent hire. This model is sometimes referred to as technical assistance or time-and-materials work, depending on the context.

Embed a developer in your team

When a project requires specific technical depth that your team does not currently have, it is often faster and more cost-effective to bring in a specialist for a defined period than to hire permanently or outsource the entire project. You retain full control of the work: priorities, methods, and direction stay with you.

We integrate fully into your existing team and tooling. We attend your standups, work in your repositories, follow your coding standards, and hand over completely documented work at the end of the engagement. Code review and architecture guidance are included as standard.

Who this is for

This service is designed for teams that have a clear product direction and the capacity to manage technical work day to day, but need additional development bandwidth for a defined period. It works equally well for an in-house team scaling up for a specific initiative, an agency bringing in a specialist for a client project, or a product company covering a gap while a permanent hire is in progress.

If you are not sure whether staff augmentation or a fixed-price engagement is the right fit for your situation, our consulting and advisory service can help you think it through before you commit.

What to expect

Staff augmentation works best when the embedded developer does not need to be managed. They assess the situation, identify what needs to be done, and deliver. We operate at senior or lead level, which means less oversight from your side and faster output. We have worked embedded in agency teams, product companies, and in-house development departments. We adapt to your process rather than requiring you to adapt to ours.

How an engagement typically works

Most engagements follow a straightforward structure. We start with a short scoping conversation to confirm the technologies involved, the expected level of autonomy, and what the first weeks of work will look like. From there, ramp-up is fast: within a few days, we are working in your environment, attending your ceremonies, and contributing to your codebase.

Engagements typically run from a few weeks to several months, depending on the scope of the work. At the end of the engagement, we hand over documented code, flag any open items, and transfer context to your team. Whether the engagement is short or extended, the handover is treated as part of the work, not an afterthought.

If you are ready to move forward, get in touch and we will set up a scoping call.
