The Problem

Hiring is slow. Your deadline is not.

Senior engineers take three to six months to hire and another two to ramp. Production deadlines do not move that way. Your team has the capacity gap or the specialized skill gap, sometimes both, and the path to closing it through traditional hiring runs longer than the project window.

Generic staff augmentation makes this worse. You inherit junior contractors who learn on your project, drain your senior engineers' time, and produce code your team will inherit with reluctance.

Our Approach

Senior, embedded, productive.

Every placement is senior level. Our engineers have shipped production systems, dealt with on-call, owned compliance work, and survived the bad deploy at 2 AM. They join your standups, contribute to code review, follow your branching strategy, and ship inside your existing workflow.

We build on the partner-first principle that runs through everything we do. Your goals are our goals. We are not pitching from outside. If a piece of work is the wrong call, we say so.

Roles We Provide

The skill mix you actually need.

Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Backend services, APIs, frontend integration. Comfortable across the stack and the database. Familiar with at least one of GCP, AWS, or Azure.

Backend / API Engineer

Service design, data modeling, integration work. Strong on observability, error handling, and the parts of the system that look fine until they don't.

Cloud / DevOps Engineer

Terraform, CI/CD, cloud security, platform operations. Familiar with NIST 800-53 controls and FISMA Moderate environments where the work calls for it.

Technical Lead

Architecture decisions, code review, mentorship. The role you wish your team had filled six months ago but did not have the bandwidth to recruit for.

Onboarding

Productive in week one. Owning work by week two.

Week 1

Access & Context

Tooling access, repo orientation, shadow standups, read existing architecture docs. We listen before we ship. Pair on a small fix or PR by Thursday.

Week 2

First Owned Work

Take on a defined slice of work end-to-end. Code review, deploy, monitor. By the end of week two we are part of the team's regular delivery flow.

Ongoing

Steady State

Sprint commitments, on-call rotation if relevant, design reviews, mentorship of junior team members. We exit cleanly when the work is done with documentation and handoff.
