A dedicated team that's embedded, not augmented
Senior React, Node.js, and full-stack engineers (avg 7+ years) who join your Slack, your standups, and your git history — not a faceless offshore body-shop billing hours across a timezone wall. Pods of 2–6 from $7K/month, scale up or down on 30 days' notice.
You're probably reading this if…
- You're a scaleup with a roadmap spike — a six-month push you can't ship with your current headcount, and hiring full-time for a temporary surge makes no sense.
- You're a funded startup who closed a round and can't hire senior engineers fast enough; every week of recruiting is a week of runway burned with nothing shipped.
- You're a CTO who's been burned by a body-shop before — interviewed a senior, got handed three juniors, and spent more time reviewing their code than it would've taken to write it.
- You're a product team that needs React or Node.js specialists for a specific build, embedded alongside your engineers, owning real surface area — not a black-box vendor lobbing tickets over the wall.
The breakage we see most
These are the patterns that show up on first calls. If you're seeing 1+ of these, an architecture audit will save you weeks.
The senior you interviewed isn't the one who shows up
Classic bait-and-switch: a sharp lead does the technical interview, then a rotating cast of juniors does the work. We staff the engineers you meet, and they stay on for the engagement — no silent swap after the SOW is signed.
A timezone black-hole instead of a teammate
You ask a question at 10am and get an answer at 9pm — if at all. Every blocker costs a full day. Our engineers hold 4+ hours of real overlap with your working hours, in your Slack, answering in your standups, not over async email.
Nobody actually owns the code
Work gets thrown over a wall, merged, and forgotten. Six weeks later something breaks and the 'team' that built it has moved on. Our engineers own their surface area end to end — they're on the PRs, on the incident, and in the git blame.
Churn quietly resets your velocity to zero
Body-shops rotate people to balance their bench, and every swap means weeks of re-ramp on your domain. We assign engineers for the engagement, not the bench — continuity is the product, not an upsell.
No accountability when it slips
When a milestone slips there's no one to call — just an account manager promising 'more resources.' We run on the same standups and the same definition of done as your team; the engineers are accountable to you directly, not a layer of sales.
Junior code dressed up as senior delivery
You're billed senior rates for copy-pasted Stack Overflow and no tests, no types, no architecture. Our engineers average 7+ years; code review, typed interfaces, and tests are the baseline, not a line item you have to chase.
The exact deliverables on a typical engagement
Embedded engineering pods
A pod of 2–6 senior engineers who join your Slack, your sprint board, and your standups. They work as part of your team — same rituals, same git history, same definition of done — not a separate vendor track.
Senior React / Next.js developers
Front-end and full-stack engineers fluent in React, Next.js, and React Native — component architecture, performance, SSR/RSC, design-system work, and the messy real-world state management you actually have.
Senior Node.js / backend developers
Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and Java engineers who build and own services: API design, data modelling on PostgreSQL/Redis, event pipelines on Kafka, and the observability to run them in production.
Staff augmentation that ramps in days
Need to add capacity to an existing team without a vendor wall? We slot senior engineers into your repos, your CI, and your review process — contributing real PRs in the first week, not the first month.
Same workflow, no parallel universe
Your git, your CI/CD, your code review standards, your ticketing. We don't impose a separate process or hand back a zip file at the end — everything lives in your tools and stays maintainable by your team.
Flexible scale-up and ramp-down
Add engineers as the roadmap grows, ramp down with 30 days' notice when the spike passes. Engagements run 3–12 months; you're never locked into headcount you no longer need.
DevOps and platform capacity
Pods can include AWS/Azure/GCP, Kubernetes, and Terraform engineers to build the infra your product team needs — CI/CD, environments, and IaC owned alongside the application work, not bolted on later.
