Staff Augmentation
Pre-vetted senior engineers embedded in your team within 1–2 weeks.
Scale your engineering throughput by integrating senior Vietnamese developers into your existing teams. Our developers work directly in your repositories, join your daily standups, and follow your engineering practices.
What breaks without this
Recruiting bottlenecks, high hiring costs, shortage of specialized tech talent, and slow onboarding of temporary contractors.
Recruiting a senior backend engineer takes 3–4 months and costs €15K+ in recruiter fees
Freelancers from platforms lack the domain depth and process discipline for production systems
Your backlog is growing but headcount approvals are blocked by budget constraints
You need specific expertise (e.g., Kafka, .NET, React Native) for a 6-month project phase
How we deliver this
Requirement profile
We define the technical profile together — tech stack, seniority level, domain experience, and English proficiency requirement. This takes one call.
Candidate shortlist
Within 5–7 days we present 2–3 pre-screened candidates with recorded technical assessments and system design interviews you can review before the first call.
Your technical interview
You run your own interview with the shortlisted candidates. You make the hire decision — we don't push anyone through who you haven't personally approved.
Embedded & operational
The engineer joins your standup, gets repo access, and starts contributing in week one. We handle payroll, HR, and local compliance so you don't have to.
What you gain
Onboard pre-vetted senior developers (5+ years experience) in 1–2 weeks.
Engineers interviewed and approved by you before they start.
No recruitment fees, low management overhead, and flexible monthly scaling.
Direct integration with your Slack/Teams, Jira, git workflow, and standups.
Knowledge captured in your documentation, code commits, and PR reviews.
Concrete deliverables
Every engagement ends with tangible artefacts you own and can hand to any team.
Pre-screened developer profiles and technical screening reports.
Developer onboarding and alignment check-ins.
Daily engineering contributions (commits, pull requests).
Weekly hours and activity reports.
End-of-engagement knowledge transfer checklists.
When this is NOT the right choice
Staff augmentation works when you already have a functioning engineering process — a defined backlog, code review practice, and someone who can onboard an external engineer. If your team doesn't have those things yet, adding headcount will make the chaos faster, not slower. For teams in that situation, we'd recommend a dedicated team engagement with a PM included, or a short consulting sprint to establish foundations first.
Frequently asked questions
Our engineers go through a three-stage vetting process: an initial algorithmic assessment, a live system design and coding interview with an engineering lead, and a communication and culture fit check. You always run the final interview to confirm fit.
Our engineers overlap their working hours with yours by 3–4 hours daily for standups, reviews, and sync calls. They perform independent deep-work during the remaining hours, which clients often find increases productivity.
Our standard staff augmentation contract has a minimum commitment of 3 months per developer, with a 30-day notice period to scale up, scale down, or transition developers out.
