Add senior capacity without a six-month hiring cycle
You know what needs building and you have a team that knows the domain. What you are short of is hands. We provide engineers who slot into your process rather than importing their own.
Senior engineers embedded in your existing team
- A roadmap that is outpacing your hiring pipeline
- A specific skill gap - mobile, data, DevOps, design - for a defined period
- Covering parental leave or a key departure without losing momentum
- Teams that want to scale up for a push and back down afterwards
The work this covers
Individual engineers
One to three developers joining your existing squad, working your tickets in your repository under your technical lead.
Specialist cover
Short engagements for a specific gap - infrastructure hardening, a mobile release, a data pipeline, a security review.
Overflow capacity
A parallel workstream on a defined slice of the backlog, so your core team stays on the critical path without context-switching.
Technical leadership
A senior or staff engineer to run architecture, raise the code review bar and mentor while your own lead is being hired.
From first call to something you own
- 01
Define the gap
A short call to establish the skills, seniority and timeframe you need, plus how your team currently works day to day.
- 02
Meet the candidates
You interview them the way you would interview any hire. Nobody joins your team without your yes.
- 03
Onboard fast
We handle the environment setup and codebase ramp-up. First pull request lands inside the first week.
- 04
Adjust as you go
Monthly rolling terms. Scale up for a push, scale down when it is over, with 30 days notice either way.
What we tend to build this on
Not a fixed list. If your team already runs something else and runs it well, we work in that.
- React
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- Python
- React Native
- Kubernetes
- AWS
- Azure
Before you ask
- Who manages the engineers day to day?
- You do. They report into your lead, attend your ceremonies and pick up work from your board. We handle employment, payroll, equipment and holiday cover in the background.
- What is the minimum commitment?
- Three months, then rolling monthly with 30 days notice. Shorter specialist engagements are possible where the scope is clearly bounded.
- What about time zones?
- Our team works Central European Time with a guaranteed four-hour overlap for US East Coast clients. For the UK and EU the overlap is effectively the full working day.
Tell us what you are trying to build
A 30-minute call is usually enough to tell you whether we are the right fit, what it is likely to cost, and how long it will take. No deck, no sales script.
