Careers

Build your career on work that matters.

Engineers, designers, product and operations people building enterprise software.

Senior engineers who fit the way your team works.

We staff the way we’d want to be staffed: with pre-vetted engineers who have been technically interviewed by our senior engineers, presented to you with notes, as quickly as the profile and the market allow.

How staff augmentation works with us.

Staff Augmentation is our solution for teams that need senior engineering capacity now. Unlike a typical staffing agency, we pre-vet, technically interview, and shadow every engineer through onboarding before they join your standup. Our staffing is for the US market: the engineers we place are US-based and US-billed.

Where it helps most

  • Burst capacity

    A launch is coming and you need more senior engineers. We work to find the right people as quickly as the market allows.

  • Backfill

    Your tech lead just gave notice. We look for a senior engineer to bridge the gap as soon as we can.

  • Specialized skills

    ML platforms, security, embedded systems, and life sciences: we have networks most agencies don’t.

  • Long-term capacity

    Longer engagements where you want senior engineers without the salary commitment of a full-time hire.

What we deliver.

Each item below is a concrete deliverable that we scope, build, and stay accountable for.

  • US-based senior engineers

    W-2 or 1099, technically interviewed by our practice leads.

  • Contract and contract-to-hire

    Start on contract, and convert to a full-time hire when both sides are ready.

  • Direct hire

    Permanent placements for your full-time roles, sourced and screened the same way.

  • Practice-led pools

    Specialists from our ML/AI, security, data engineering, mobile, and Salesforce practices, rather than a generalist contact list.

  • Embedded squads

    When you need 4–8 engineers in one team, we provide a pre-formed squad with a tech lead.

  • If it isn’t the right fit

    We talk it through with both sides, and start a replacement search where needed. Timing depends on the profile and the market.

How an engagement runs.

Five phases, each with outcomes we can measure.

1

Intake

We meet your hiring manager and team, and listen for team dynamics and culture as well as the job description.

2

Sourcing & technical interview

Pre-qualified candidates from our network or fresh sourcing. Every candidate is technically interviewed by our senior practice leads.

3

Shortlist

Candidates who fit the role, with our notes, a recommended order and a suggested interview loop.

4

Engagement & onboarding

Offer mechanics, equipment, accounts, security review, and a 30-day check-in to make sure the engagement is going well.

5

Continuous support

Quarterly check-ins, structured performance feedback both ways, and the conversation when something isn’t working.

Why work with us.

  1. Engineers screen engineers

    Every shortlisted candidate has been technically interviewed by a senior engineer. We don’t outsource the bar.

  2. Built for US teams

    Our staffing is for the US market: US-based engineers, billed in the US.

  3. We stay with it after the start date

    If a placement isn’t the right fit, we start a replacement search. We’d rather do that than leave you with a bad fit.

Frequently asked questions.

Still unsure? A 30-minute call with a tech lead answers the rest.

Ask us directly
How does pricing work?

Flat hourly rates with no hidden markups. Rates depend on the role and specialization, and we share line-item rates during scoping.

Are you a body shop?

No. We don’t make money on volume placements. Our engagements are pre-vetted senior placements at flat rates.

Do you place engineers outside the US?

No. Our staffing is for the US market, so the engineers we place are US-based. If you need a delivery team rather than individual hires, see Consulting & Delivery Teams.

What if a placement doesn’t work?

Tell us early. We talk it through with you and the engineer, and if it still isn’t right, we start a replacement search. Timing depends on the profile and the market.
