More engineers, without the hiring wait.

Add certified cloud, DevOps, security, data and AI engineers to your team when you need them: for a sprint, a project, or as long as the work demands. They work in your tools and your sprints, and you can scale up or down as plans change.

The reality

The project has a deadline. The hiring process doesn’t.

Most teams don’t need more people forever. They need the right people now. Open a card to see how we help.

Talk it through with us

Hiring takes too long

Months to find, interview and onboard someone, while the project waits.

What we do

We share profiles that match your brief, you interview them, and they join once you’re happy.

The right skill isn’t in-house

Kubernetes, security, data or GenAI work that nobody on the team has done before.

What we do

We add a specialist for that work, who leaves your team better at it than before.

Workloads don’t stay predictable

A launch, a migration or an audit doubles the work for a few months.

What we do

Add people for the peak and scale back afterwards, with no fixed headcount left over.

Your best people are already busy

Senior engineers are pulled into tickets instead of the work only they can do.

What we do

Our engineers take on the planned work, so your seniors can lead.

You don’t need a permanent hire

The need is real, but it isn’t a full-time role for the next five years.

What we do

Engage for a sprint, a project or a year, and stop when the work is done.

A vendor transition left a gap

The old vendor is leaving, and with them the knowledge of how things work.

What we do

We plan the handover, document as we go, and keep delivery running.

Why teams use it

The skills you need, only for as long as you need them.

Resource augmentation gives you engineers without the hiring cycle, the long notice periods or the fixed headcount.

Certified engineers who join your team.

Our engineers work in your tools, your stand-ups and your sprints, and report to your leads. You direct the work; we look after the people.

HiringMonths to find one person
With usProfiles to interview, then a start date

Cost-effective

Pay for the skills you use, without recruitment fees or a permanent salary.

Flexible

Scale the team up or down as the project changes.

Certified on three clouds

Engineers certified on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

Productive sooner

People who’ve done this work before, so less time is spent learning the basics.

Knowledge stays with you

Runbooks and documentation are written as the work happens, so nothing leaves with the engineer.

How it works

From brief to a team that delivers.

The same steps for one specialist or a full pod. How fast people start depends on the roles and how many you need.

Book a talent call
  1. Stage 01 · Roles, skills and timing

    2. 1.2The work and outcomes written down
    3. 1.3Roles, seniority and headcount agreed

    Your safety net

    Nothing is committed until you’ve met the people.

  2. Stage 02 · You choose who joins

    Your safety net

    If nobody fits, you don’t pay and we keep looking.

    Onboard

    New team members learn your product, your goals and the way your team works.

    What happens
    1. 3.1Access set up in your tools, with your approval

    Your part

    Give access and a point of contact.

    Your safety net

    Access is named and logged, and you can remove it at any time.

  4. Stage 04 · Work in your sprints

    Deliver

    Our engineers deliver as part of your team, with your leads directing the work.

    What happens
    1. 4.1Work planned in your sprints

    You get
    • Delivered work in your repos
    • Documentation you keep
    Your part

    Direct the work as you would your own team.

    Your safety net

    If someone isn’t the right fit, we replace them.

  5. Stage 05 · Change as the work changes

    Grow or scale down

    We keep developing each engineer around your project, and adjust the team as plans change.

    What happens
    1. 5.1Skills grown around your roadmap
    2. 5.2Add people for a peak, release them after
    3. 5.3Plan the end of an engagement early
    4. 5.4A clean handover to your team
    5. 5.5Option to move into managed services
    You get
    • A team that fits the work
    • A clean handover when it ends
    Your part

    Tell us what’s coming next.

    Your safety net

    Everything is documented, so your team can carry on without us.

Ask a question

You add our engineers to your team for as long as you need them. They work in your tools and sprints, your leads direct the work, and we look after the people.

It depends on the role and how many people you need. On the talent call we’ll give you a realistic start date before you commit.

Yes. Many teams start with one specialist and add more, or a full pod, once they’ve seen how it works.
