THE ENGAGEMENT
Your engineers shouldn't have to adapt to someone else's methods. Augmented engineers join your standups, work from your backlog, commit to your repositories, and follow your release process. They work like engineers you've hired, not a separate vendor operating alongside you.
Staff augmentation is an engagement model where pre-vetted engineers join your existing team under your management, processes, and tools. The vendor handles employment, payroll, HR compliance, and replacement SLA. Your sprint board doesn't change. Your release process doesn't change. The only difference is additional engineering capacity.
HOW IT WORKS
Your engineering process stays the same. The only thing that changes is who joins your team. You manage delivery. We handle employment, HR, and replacements while engineers work inside your existing workflows.
Individuals, pairs, or small groups of 3–5. Each engineer is matched to your stack - Java/Spring Boot, Python, React, Node.js, Data Engineering, QA Automation, or DevOps/Cloud. Start with one engineer or add a small group. Scale capacity as your roadmap grows.
You keep sprint ownership, tooling, and rituals. We handle HR, payroll, and compliance behind the scenes.
Per-engineer, monthly invoicing. No hidden fees, no long-term lock-in beyond the minimum term.
Shortlist within 48 hours, engineer contributing code inside the first working week.
Staff augmentation is not the right model for every buyer. Use this comparison to determine which engagement model best matches your delivery needs.

ONBOARDING TO ONGOING
The process is designed around one constraint: your team's continuity. Engineers join your workflows - not the other way around.
Role, stack, seniority, timezone preference, and any team context you want us to match on. It takes 15 minutes. We ask clarifying questions on the same call.
Two to three anonymised profiles within 48 hours: experience summary, stack depth, a delivery outcome from a comparable engagement, and availability date. You review, shortlist, and interview whomever you want.
Standard technical interview. Your format, your questions. No intermediaries on the call. If none of the first round fit, we re-shortlist at no additional cost.
Day 1: repository and environment access, codebase walkthrough. Day 2–3: architecture context with your tech lead. Day 4–5: first PR submitted.
Daily standups in your timezone. Async updates via your preferred channel (Slack, Teams, Linear). 90-day checkpoint with your AM and the engineer—covers technical alignment, capacity utilisation, and any fit adjustments before they become issues.
If an engineer leaves, underperforms, or doesn't fit the team, you can find a replacement within 2 weeks at no cost. Response on the same day. No ticket queues.
675+ in-house engineers across Java, Python, React, Node.js, Data Engineering.
PROOF
Two representative engagements. Each started as a Team Extension and continued beyond the initial three months.
Managing a designer, Shopify contractor, SEO consultant, and PPC agency separately was costing FreshThread 12 hours a week in coordination. 6 months after consolidating with PixelCrayons.
Orbit had hit their capacity ceiling. Turning away new clients wasn't sustainable, but taking on freelancers was producing inconsistent output.
Here is the list of some of the most common questions we hear before any engagement. If your query is not listed here, contact us and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
Most clients receive a shortlist within 48 hours and can have an engineer contributing code inside the first working week.
Yes. You interview every candidate directly, using your own format and questions, before deciding.
Billing is straightforward and based on the engineers you engage, with monthly invoicing and no long-term hiring commitments. You can scale your team up or down as project priorities change, giving you flexibility without the administrative burden of permanent hiring.
We provide a replacement within 2 weeks at no additional cost, with no ticket queues or delays.
Yes. Engineers join your existing sprint board, repositories, and release process rather than introducing their own.
