Team augmentation

Senior engineers who join your team, not your vendor list

Nine roles we bench continuously. One-month rolling contracts, four hours of guaranteed overlap, and a replacement guarantee we have actually honoured.

  • Rolling monthly
  • 2-week notice
  • No recruitment fee
Engagement models

Three shapes, depending on what is missing

Most teams need one of these three. If none of them fits, say so and we will invent a fourth rather than sell you the closest one.

Embedded engineer

One or more of our people join your standups, your repo and your on-call rotation. You manage the work; we handle contracts, cover and continuity.

  • Monthly rolling contract
  • Two-week notice either way
  • Direct Slack access
  • Replacement guaranteed within five days

Pod

A self-contained team — lead engineer, two developers, part-time designer — that owns a stream of work end to end and reports on outcomes.

  • Fixed monthly rate
  • Own delivery lead
  • Quarterly roadmap reviews
  • Scales up or down each quarter

Fractional lead

A senior architect for one or two days a week: reviews, technical decisions, hiring support and the arguments nobody internally can win alone.

  • 1–2 days a week
  • Architecture ownership
  • Code review at depth
  • Interview panel support
Roles

Nine specialisms we keep on the bench

Every rate below is the rate you pay. No recruitment fee, no margin on expenses, no separate line for oversight.

FAQ

Hiring questions, answered plainly

Usually within two weeks for the roles we bench continuously — React, Node and React Native. Specialist Swift or Kotlin availability is more variable and we will tell you honestly rather than promising a date we cannot hold.

Tell us in the first fortnight and we replace them at our cost, or you walk away paying only for the days worked. We have used that clause four times in eleven years and would rather use it than argue.

You do, on an embedded engagement. Our people join your standups, your repository and your definition of done. We handle contracts, cover, appraisals and continuity so you are managing work rather than managing a supplier.

Every engagement guarantees at least four hours of live overlap with your working day. Teams routinely shift to cover European or US mornings, and full timezone alignment is possible where the engagement needs it.

One month, rolling, with two weeks' notice either way. No twelve-month lock-ins — if the work stops being useful, the arrangement should be easy to end.

A flat hourly or monthly rate per person, with no recruitment fee, no margin on expenses and no separate charge for the delivery lead's oversight. Rates on each role page are the rates you pay.

Tell us the stack and the gap. If we cannot cover it, we will say so on the first call.
