The staff augmentation company that extends your dev team with engineers who ship on day one
No job boards. No three-month hiring cycles. No ramp lag. Your augmented engineer is in your Slack, on your standups, and shipping in your codebase within a week of sign-off.

Every week without the right engineer costs you a sprint
A single unfilled senior engineering 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 an entire sprint cycle gone before they write a line of code.
Hiring a senior developer costs $28,000 to $45,000 in recruiter fees alone, before salary, equity, or onboarding time.
Generic staff augmentation puts a warm body in a seat. They spend the first month reading your codebase. Revenue-generating features wait.
Scope creep multiplies when the team is understaffed. Your best engineers end up context-switching instead of building.

Beyond the resume: what makes staff augmentation consulting actually work
Domain-matched engineers
Every engineer has worked in your stack before day one. A Shopify Plus developer knows your theme architecture. No cold-start.
Sprint-integrated from day one
Your engineer attends standups, writes in your repo, reviews PRs in your queue, and follows your git workflow. Your tooling, not ours.
Flexible scale without lock-in
Ramp from 1 engineer to 4 as the project grows. Scale back after launch. Three-month minimum, then month-to-month. No annual contracts.
5-day replacement guarantee
If an engineer is not the right fit, we replace within 5 business days at zero cost. Same domain-match process. No negotiation, no delay.

From $14M to $90M with an extended engineering team
Company
Parsons Kellogg
Multi-store promotional products and branded apparel operating over 1 million SKUs. Needed to scale from $14M to $90M annual revenue with a unified tech platform.
Team extended with
Power BI architects, headless engineers, Dynamics 365 integration leads, RESTful API developers
The problem
The internal team could not build fast enough to hit revenue targets. 30 stores, 1M+ inventory items, and fragmented data across ERP, CRM, and marketplaces. Manual processes were eating engineering bandwidth that should have gone toward growth.
No unified reporting across 30 stores
Manual warehouse workflows consuming dev time
Internal team too small to execute at required velocity
Result
Annual revenue after extended team delivered Power BI, headless architecture, and Dynamics ERP integration across 30+ stores
- Real-time dashboards across 30+ stores
- Warehouse workflows automated end-to-end
- RESTful APIs connecting ERP, CRM, Power BI
What separates our staff augmentation agency from a bench seat
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 buyers ask before they sign
Most engineers start within 5 to 10 business days of scope sign-off. We match on timezone, stack, and domain context before the introduction so the first sprint is productive from day one. You receive 2 to 3 candidate profiles before we schedule any intro call.
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 additional cost. The replacement goes through the same domain-match process against your stack, team culture, and 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, and we do not charge for right-sizing if you scale down after a sprint-intensive phase.
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.
When to hire staff augmentation engineers
Good fit
You have a functioning team but need specific skills or capacity for a defined phase
Your sprint cadence is established and you need someone to slot in, not start from scratch
You want to avoid a 47-day hiring cycle and $30k+ in recruiter fees for a specialist role
You need to scale capacity quickly for a product launch and scale back cleanly after
Not the right tool
You need someone to own the product and make architectural decisions independently with no internal direction
You have no internal team lead to integrate and direct the augmented engineer
You need a complete turnkey build with no internal engineering involvement at any stage
Not sure? Tell us your situation and we will be direct with you.
