Hire Remote Developers
Developers who join your team rather than taking work away from it. They attend your standups, work in your repository, follow your conventions, and are managed by you.
Discuss your projectWhat this is, and what it is not
Staff augmentation means you direct the work. You decide the priorities, run the planning, review the pull requests, and the developer is accountable to your lead rather than to a project manager of ours standing between you. That is the distinction from an outsourced project, where we would own delivery of an agreed scope.
Both are legitimate and they suit different situations. Augmentation is right when you know what needs building and lack hands, when the work is ongoing rather than a defined project, or when you want the knowledge to stay in your team. A managed project is better when you would rather buy an outcome than manage people, or when you have no technical lead to direct the work.
If you tell us you want augmentation but describe a fixed scope with a deadline and nobody to manage it, we will say that a managed project would serve you better. Augmentation without technical direction on your side tends to disappoint, and it is worth being honest about that before you hire.
What they work on
Feature delivery in your backlog
The most common case. They pick up tickets, work to your definition of done, and ship through your pipeline.
A workstream you cannot staff
A parallel piece of work your existing team does not have capacity for, running alongside rather than interleaved.
A specific skill you lack
Where you need a capability for a few months rather than permanently — a mobile build, a data pipeline, an integration — and hiring it permanently is not justified.
Covering a gap
Parental leave, a resignation, or a hiring process that is taking longer than expected. Available faster than a permanent hire and without the commitment.
Maintenance and support
Keeping an existing system healthy so your permanent team can work on what is new. Often the best use of augmentation and the least glamorous.
Scaling a team quickly
Where a funding round or a contract win means you need capacity before you can recruit it.
Skills and stack
We staff within what we actually work in. Where you need something outside this, we will say so rather than learn it on your budget.
- Backend: Python with Django, FastAPI or Flask; Node.js with TypeScript; PHP with Laravel.
- Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue, TypeScript.
- Mobile: React Native, Flutter, and native Swift and Kotlin.
- AI and data: retrieval systems, extraction pipelines, model integration, evaluation.
- DevOps: AWS, Google Cloud, Docker, CI pipelines, Terraform.
- QA: manual and automated testing, covered on our QA page.
- Design: product and interface design, covered on our designers page.
Engagement models
| Dedicated developer | Part-time | Dedicated team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commitment | Full-time on your work | An agreed number of days a week | A cross-functional group |
| Best for | Ongoing capacity | A specific skill you need intermittently | An outcome you want owned |
| Managed by | You | You | Us, reporting to you |
| Minimum term | One month | One month | Three months |
| Notice | Two weeks | Two weeks | One month |
| Ramp-up | Days | Days | Up to two weeks |
Rates depend on seniority and stack, and we quote them against your specific requirement rather than publishing a band that would be misleading either way. Ask and we will give you a figure in the first conversation.
How hiring works
- 01
Tell us the requirement
Stack, seniority, the work, and the hours you need overlapping with your team. A description of the actual tickets is more useful than a job specification.
- 02
We put forward candidates
Usually two or three, with their real experience rather than a sanitised profile. If we do not have a good fit available we will say so rather than offering the nearest person on the bench.
- 03
You interview them
Technically, however you normally would, including a pair-programming session or a code exercise. You are hiring a person into your team and you should assess them as one. If you want to reject all of them, that is a normal outcome.
- 04
Short paid trial, if you want one
A week or two of real work before any longer commitment. We recommend it — a trial on your actual codebase tells you more than any interview.
- 05
Onboarding
Access, environment, conventions, and a first ticket small enough to ship in the first few days. We ask for a named person on your side to answer questions in week one.
Time-zone overlap
We work to a guaranteed overlap with your working day, agreed in writing before the engagement starts rather than negotiated afterwards. Our team is in Pakistan, five hours ahead of UTC, and it is worth being concrete about what that means. UK and European hours overlap comfortably within a normal working day on both sides. US Eastern hours overlap across your morning, which means an evening shift here — we staff that deliberately and will tell you which hours are covered. US Pacific is the hard case: a meaningful overlap means late evening for us, so we agree a smaller guaranteed window and say so plainly rather than implying a full day.
Where the overlap is limited, what matters is working asynchronously well: written handovers at the end of the day, decisions recorded in the ticket rather than in a call, and pull requests described well enough to review without a conversation. We would rather set that expectation explicitly than have you discover the overlap is four hours after you have hired.
