What is IT staff augmentation?

Who it is for

Who staff augmentation is for

Staff augmentation works best when you have someone to direct the work. If you need a team that runs itself, see a dedicated development team, linked below.

  • CTOs and engineering managers with a team in place and a clear gap.

  • Founders who have a technical lead but need more hands.

  • IT directors who need specialist skills for a defined period.

Compare

Staff augmentation vs dedicated team vs hiring AI developers

  • Staff augmentation: one or a few engineers join your team and follow your management.

  • Dedicated development team: a full team formed around your product.

What is the difference between staff augmentation and a dedicated development team?

With staff augmentation, one or a few engineers join your team and you manage them day to day. A dedicated development team is a group formed around your product and working only on it. Choose augmentation to fill a gap, and a dedicated team when you need a whole delivery unit.

How does IT staff augmentation work?

You describe the skills you need, we propose matching engineers, and you interview them. Once you choose, they join your tools and workflow and take direction from your team. You can add, change or reduce engineers as needs change. Terms are set in the agreement.

Who manages the engineers?

You do. In staff augmentation, the engineer works inside your team, follows your priorities and reports to your lead. We stay available to deal with any issue on the engagement. If you would rather not manage the work day to day, a dedicated team or project delivery may fit better.

Can I interview the engineers before they start?

Yes. You decide who joins. We share profiles that fit your brief and arrange interviews so you can judge technical skill and communication yourself. No engineer is placed on your team without your approval, and you can raise concerns at any point in the engagement.

Do you provide AI and machine learning engineers?

Yes, among other skills. If you need people for generative AI, AI agents or machine learning, include those skills in your brief and we will confirm the fit. For general software roles such as back end, front end, QA or DevOps, this page applies.

Who owns the work the engineer produces?

Ownership of the code, prompts, configuration and documentation is confirmed in the project agreement. Engineers also work inside your repositories and tools under the access you grant, which keeps the work visible to you throughout.
