Scaling delivery during high-demand cycles
Reducing hiring risk and improving team velocity
Flexible, CTO-led staffing that gives you the engineers you need — when you need them.
Our IT Staff Augmentation services help companies scale their engineering capacity without the delays and overhead of traditional hiring. Instead of placing random contractors, we embed vetted developers, designers, QA specialists, and technical leads directly into your team — all guided by senior engineering leadership.
Whether you're accelerating a roadmap, filling specific skill gaps, or supporting an upcoming release, our fractional team model gives you reliable, high-quality talent without long-term commitments.
Our Approach
CTO-Led Talent Selection & Technical Oversight
Most augmentation firms fill seats. We fill skill gaps. Every engagement is guided by senior technical leadership to ensure the right expertise, clean onboarding, and alignment with your architecture and delivery standards.
High-Quality Engineers, Not Generic Contractors
Our developers are vetted for practical experience, communication, and ability to work inside real-world product teams. You get reliable contributors who produce high-quality code and require minimal supervision.
Flexible Engagement Models
Scale up or down as needed — from part-time specialists to fully managed pods. We integrate directly into your workflow, tools, and sprint cadence, providing predictable velocity without long-term hiring commitments.
Seamless Integration Into Your Team
Our engineers join your standups, your Slack, your rituals, and your roadmap. We don’t sit on the sidelines — we operate as an extension of your existing team to accelerate delivery.
Talent Backed by Real Engineering Leadership
Our augmentation model is directly managed by experienced CTOs — not account managers or recruiters. This ensures every engineer added to your team aligns with your architecture, coding standards, and delivery expectations. We’ve led real engineering teams, shipped complex products, and understand the impact that the right (or wrong) technical talent can have on velocity and stability.
With CTO oversight, you get a staffing model focused on quality, fit, and long-term technical health — not just filling roles. Every engagement is guided to reduce risk, support your roadmap, and integrate talent seamlessly into your engineering process.
