Why Teams Choose Staff Augmentation

Hiring senior mobile engineers is slow, expensive, and risky. Augmentation gives you the expertise without the overhead.

The Hiring Challenge

Finding experienced mobile engineers in Canada is hard. When you do find them, the process is slow:

  • 3-6 months to hire a senior mobile engineer
  • High salaries plus benefits, equity, and overhead
  • Risk of mis-hire after months of interviewing
  • Ramp-up time before they're productive
  • Difficult to scale down when the project ends
  • Competing with FAANG for the same talent pool

The Augmentation Advantage

Our engineers are already vetted, experienced, and ready to embed:

  • Start within 1-2 weeks of agreement
  • Senior engineers with 10+ years mobile experience
  • No recruitment risk. We stand behind our people
  • Productive from day one on your codebase
  • Scale up or down as project needs change
  • Canadian timezone, Canadian rates, Canadian payroll

How It Works

From first conversation to code shipping, we optimize for speed and low friction.

Requirements Call

We understand your tech stack, team dynamics, project goals, and the specific skills you need. 30-minute call, no fluff.

Engineer Matching

We match engineers from our team to your requirements. You review profiles and can interview them directly if you want.

Onboarding

Our engineer gets repo access, tool access, and meets your team. We handle admin. They start reviewing code and shipping on day one.

Embedded Work

Your engineer works as part of your team. Same standup, same Slack, same PR reviews. You manage priorities. We handle logistics.

Ongoing Support

Regular check-ins to ensure fit. Scale up, scale down, or swap expertise as your project evolves. Flexible month-to-month after initial period.

What You Get

Not just a contractor on a call. A senior engineer who operates like a full team member.

Full Team Integration

Our engineers join your Slack, attend your standups, participate in sprint planning, and do code reviews. They're not outsiders. They're team members.

Same Timezone Collaboration

All our engineers are based in Montreal and Toronto (EST/CST). Real-time collaboration during your working hours. No overnight handoffs.

Senior-level Only

We don't do junior placement. Every engineer we provide has 10+ years of mobile experience and has shipped production apps used by thousands or millions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a typical outsourcing agency?

We don't hand you a resume and disappear. Our engineers are our full-time employees: vetted, trained, and supported. We stay involved, ensure quality, and swap engineers if the fit isn't right. Think of it as borrowing a team member, not hiring a stranger.

Can I interview the engineer before they start?

Absolutely. We'll provide profiles of matched engineers, and you're welcome to do a technical interview or pair programming session. If the fit isn't right, we'll match someone else.

What's the minimum engagement length?

We ask for a 3-month minimum to make the onboarding investment worthwhile for both sides. After that, it's month-to-month with 2 weeks notice to scale down.

Can I hire the engineer full-time after the engagement?

Yes, we offer a conversion path after 6 months of engagement. We'll work out a transition that's fair to everyone involved.

How quickly can an engineer start?

Typically 1-2 weeks from agreement. If we have an engineer available with the right skills immediately, it can be as fast as a few days.

Do you provide part-time engineers?

Yes. We offer both full-time (40 hours/week) and part-time (20 hours/week) engagement models. Part-time works well when you need specialized expertise but don't have a full-time workload.

What if the engineer isn't a good fit?

We'll swap them out. We want this to work as much as you do. If within the first 2 weeks the fit isn't right, whether technical or cultural, we replace them at no additional cost.

Who manages the engineer day-to-day?

You do. They report to your engineering lead or PM, attend your ceremonies, and follow your processes. We handle administrative/HR aspects and periodic check-ins to ensure satisfaction on both sides.
