What it is
Staff augmentation adds outside engineers to your own team for as long as you need them. They work in your tools, processes and hours, and you manage their work; the provider employs them.
Augmented engineers join your stand-ups, your code reviews and your backlog, beside your own staff.
We hire, pay and look after the engineers, including UAE visas for onsite roles. You get one monthly invoice.
Add one specialist or several, extend month by month, and scale down when the work is done.
Roles
Each role has its own page with skills, rates and sample profiles.
