Cloud, Security & Operations
Staff Augmentation
Experienced engineers who join your existing team to fill skill gaps or add capacity, working inside your processes and tools under your managers, for a few months or longer.
Capability overview
What staff augmentation involves
Hiring permanent engineers takes months, and some needs are temporary: a migration requiring Kubernetes expertise, a release deadline needing extra testers or a data project requiring a specialist your team does not have. Staff augmentation adds skilled people quickly while your organisation keeps full control of how work is done.
Augmented engineers follow your development practices, attend your ceremonies, use your repositories and report to your engineering managers. We handle recruitment, vetting, employment, equipment and replacement, and check in regularly with both you and the engineer to resolve issues before they affect delivery.
Staff augmentation works best when your team already has clear engineering leadership, documented practices and capacity to onboard new people, because the day-to-day direction comes from your side.
