Staff augmentation for a scaleup engineering team
Vetted remote engineers added to an in-house team to clear a backlog and stabilise releases, directed day to day by the client's own leads.
Client context
An NDA-protected US B2B SaaS scaleup whose roadmap had outgrown the in-house team, with hiring taking too long to keep up.
Challenge
The team needed senior capacity in weeks, not quarters, and the new people had to work inside existing processes from day one.
What we did
- Shortlisted vetted, interview-ready engineers for the exact stack and seniority.
- Onboarded them into the client's tools, rituals and code review standards.
- Scaled the engaged roles up and down as priorities shifted.
Process
- Role intake to capture skills, seniority and context.
- Shortlist and client interviews.
- Onboarding into existing processes with overlap hours.
- Ongoing scaling and replacement as needed.
Result and impact
The backlog cleared and releases stabilised, with capacity that flexed to match the roadmap.
Metrics are illustrative until confirmed with the client.

It felt like hiring, without the months of hiring.VP of engineering (quote representative, under NDA)
