Team Augmentation Services for Product and Engineering Teams
Frequently Asked Questions
Initial matching and vetting: 1 week. Engineer finalizes notice at their previous role: 2 weeks. Onboarding and ramp-up: 2 weeks. Total: 4–5 weeks from signed contract to productive on your team. Sometimes faster if we have someone pre-vetted available immediately.
We swap them out. No long-term contract, no penalties. If you're not happy with an engineer, we find a replacement within 2 weeks. You have full control. We've never had a client need more than one replacement, and usually it's a non-issue—our matching process is thorough.
Flexible: 3 months minimum (to justify ramp-up time), then month-to-month thereafter. You can end at any time with 30 days notice. Engineers can also leave (rare—our engineers like their placements), but we always have a replacement ready. It's low-risk for you.
Both are possible. Some companies use augmentation as a "try before you hire" model: if you want to hire the engineer full-time, you can. We charge a one-time placement fee ($15K–$30K depending on seniority) and the engineer transitions to your payroll. Other companies keep them as augmentation long-term. You decide.
You choose. We have engineers in multiple timezones: US (ET, CT, PT), Europe (UK, Germany, Poland, Romania), and Asia (India, Singapore). Remote is default (work from home or office). Local presence in your city is possible at higher rates.
Technical screening: coding interview, system design discussion, code review. Reference checks with previous employers/clients. Background check. Portfolio and GitHub review. We only place engineers we'd hire ourselves. Pass rate: 15% of candidates make it through our process.
All IP created is yours. Augmented engineers sign confidentiality agreements. Code, designs, documentation—everything is yours. No question about ownership.
Yes. We place staff/principal engineers and engineering leads. They're more expensive ($18K–$24K+/month) but they come with architectural authority, mentoring capability, and leadership experience.
Yes, we transition to "dedicated team" at that point. 4–10 engineers as a cohesive unit, managed as a project team. Different engagement model, better economics at scale, but same quality and outcome focus. ---
