Every week that role sits empty kills a sprint
A single unfilled senior role delays your roadmap by 4 to 6 weeks per quarter. The average time-to-hire for a specialist developer is 47 days. That is a full sprint cycle gone before anyone writes a line of code.
Hiring a senior developer costs $28,000 to $45,000 in recruiter fees, before salary, equity, or onboarding time.
Generic staff augmentation puts a warm body in a seat. They spend their first month reading your codebase. Revenue-generating features wait.
Understaffed teams bleed scope creep. Your best engineers switch context instead of building. Output drops.

Four things that separate a fast-start engineer from a slow start
Your stack, not ours
Every engineer knows your platform before day one. A Shopify Plus developer knows your theme architecture. A Dynamics lead knows your ERP patterns. No cold-start.
In your workflow from day one
Your engineer attends your standups, writes in your repo, reviews PRs in your queue, and follows your git workflow. We use your tools, not a separate environment.
Scale up or down. No contracts.
Start with one engineer. Add three more when the project peaks. Scale back after launch. Three-month minimum, then month-to-month.
5-day replacement, zero cost
If the engineer is not the right fit, we replace within 5 business days. No extra charge. Same domain-match process. No negotiation.
We staff across these platforms and stacks

Company
Parsons Kellogg
Parsons Kellogg manages branded apparel across 30+ stores and 1M+ SKUs. Their internal team couldn't build fast enough to hit revenue targets. We extended their team with the engineers they needed.
Engineers we added
Power BI architects, headless engineers, Dynamics 365 integration leads, RESTful API developers
The problem
30 stores. 1M+ inventory items. Data fragmented across ERP, CRM, and marketplaces. Manual workflows were consuming engineering time that should have gone toward growth.
No unified reporting across 30 stores
Manual warehouse workflows consuming dev capacity
Internal team too small to execute at speed
The result
Annual revenue after augmented engineers delivered Power BI, headless architecture, and Dynamics ERP integration across all 30 stores
- Real-time dashboards across 30+ stores
- Warehouse workflows automated end-to-end
- APIs connecting ERP, CRM, and Power BI
What sets our staff augmentation apart from a generic vendor
Domain knowledge on day one
First PR shipped in under 5 days
Month-to-month after 3 months
5-day replacement at no cost
Ecommerce platform depth
Timezone overlap guaranteed (6+ hours)

What engineering leaders ask before they start
You get 2 to 3 matched profiles within 48 hours of brief submission. Most engineers start within 5 to 10 business days of sign-off. We match on timezone, stack, and domain context before the intro call. The first sprint is productive from day one.
With staff augmentation, the engineer joins your team. They use your tools, attend your standups, and report to your lead. You retain full control over priorities, workflow, and direction. A managed project hands ownership to us. Staff augmentation keeps ownership with you and adds capacity.
We replace within 5 business days at no cost. The replacement goes through the same domain-match process: your stack, your team culture, your communication style. No negotiation, no delay.
Three months minimum. Most teams extend month to month after that. We do not lock you into annual contracts. If you scale down after a sprint-intensive phase, there is no charge for the change.
Rates start at $4,800 per month for a senior engineer. Team packages with 2 to 4 engineers are scoped per brief. No recruiter fee, no placement commission, no hidden billing. Scoped before work starts, line by line.
Staff augmentation works best for these situations
This is a strong fit
Your team is established and needs specific skills for a defined phase
Your sprint cadence is set. You need someone to slot in and ship, not start over.
You need a specialist in 30 days, not 47. Recruiter fees are not the answer.
You're scaling for a product launch and need to ramp down cleanly after
When it's not the right fit
You need someone to own the product and make architecture decisions with no internal lead
You have no internal lead to direct the engineer's work
You need a complete turnkey build with zero internal engineering involvement
Not sure? Describe your situation and we will be direct with you.
