Staff Augmentation
Need mobile expertise but don't want to hire full-time? Our senior engineers join your existing team. Same repo, same standups, same sprint cadence. No ramp-up friction.
Our engineers have worked with
Hiring senior mobile engineers is slow, expensive, and risky. Augmentation gives you the expertise without the overhead.
Finding experienced mobile engineers in Canada is hard. When you do find them, the process is slow:
Our engineers are already vetted, experienced, and ready to embed:
Case study · CLEIO
CLEIO is a Quebec neurotechnology company building EEG headset companion apps. They needed senior Android capacity to keep shipping while they evaluated a permanent hire. Hiring takes 3+ months, plus a ramp month. They didn't have that runway.
They engaged DEVSFLOW for an embedded engagement. Zawar joined CLEIO's Android team through DEVSFLOW Technologies. Same repo, same standups, same sprint cadence as their internal engineers. Picked up the first ticket in week one. Shipped at the cadence the client expected, not at the cadence a typical agency would.
This is the model we run for every staffing client. Real engineers, real seniority, in your workflow by the end of week one.
Case study · Trackforce
Trackforce runs Tracktik, the mobile platform used daily by thousands of physical security guards across North America. They were facing revenue-impacting stability issues. Hiring permanent Android engineers fast enough wasn't an option. They needed senior capacity inside the existing team, immediately.
They engaged through DEVSFLOW's staffing model. Our engineers joined the Trackforce engineering team directly. Same repo, same standups, same sprint cadence. Took on high-priority tickets in week one, stayed embedded through the stabilization cycle, then transitioned the work back cleanly.
This is the same model we run for every staffing client. Senior engineers, shipping in your sprint by week one.
Our engineers cover the full spectrum of mobile development. Match the skills you need to the engineers we provide.
Senior Swift engineers experienced with UIKit, SwiftUI, Combine, Core Data, HealthKit, BLE, and the full Apple ecosystem. App Store submission and review handling included.
Swift, Objective-C, UIKit, SwiftUI, Core Data, Combine, XCTest
Senior Kotlin engineers with deep knowledge of Jetpack Compose, Room, WorkManager, background services, and the complexities of Android device fragmentation.
Kotlin, Java, Jetpack Compose, Room, Coroutines, Hilt, JUnit
Engineers who understand both the JavaScript layer and the native bridge. Custom native modules, performance optimization, and upgrade path management.
TypeScript, React Native, Expo, Native Modules, Redux, Jest
Specialized engineers for apps that connect to hardware. BLE protocol engineering, firmware collaboration, and real-time data streaming from wearables and sensors.
BLE 5.0, GATT, CoreBluetooth, Android BLE, IoT protocols
Mobile-specific DevOps engineers who set up and maintain build pipelines, automated testing, code signing, and release management for iOS and Android.
Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Xcode Cloud, Firebase
Staff-level engineers who can own technical direction. Architecture reviews, code quality standards, mentoring junior developers, and cross-team coordination.
System Design, Code Review, Technical Strategy, Team Mentoring
Faster than a normal hire because the engineer is already senior, already in your tools, and already shipping by week one.
Day 1
What role, what stack, what your team's cadence is, what done looks like. We tell you honestly if we can match in the timeframe you need, or if you should keep looking.
Days 2 to 5
We send 1-2 senior engineers who fit the stack and the team. You meet them, we set up access (GitHub, Slack, Jira or Linear, your CI), and agree on the first ticket.
Week 1
No ramp month. The engineer joins your daily standup, picks up a real ticket, and has a PR up by end of week one. Same workflow as a senior internal hire.
Week 2 onward
Working at your sprint cadence. Weekly written progress to your engineering lead. We escalate blockers we cannot solve ourselves before they slow the team down.
After the engagement
If you have an internal team, we do a real handoff with documentation and a one-week overlap. If you want to hire the engineer permanently, we have a conversion path that respects everyone.
Not just a contractor on a call. A senior engineer who operates like a full team member.
Our engineers join your Slack, attend your standups, participate in sprint planning, and do code reviews. They're not outsiders. They're team members.
All our engineers are based in Toronto (EST/CST). Real-time collaboration during your working hours. No overnight handoffs.
We don't do junior placement. Every engineer we provide has 8+ years of mobile experience and has shipped production apps used by thousands or millions.
Our engineers are self-directed professionals. Point them at a problem, they solve it. No hand-holding, no micromanagement needed. They own their work.
Full-time or part-time. Single engineer or a small team. Short-term sprint coverage or long-term augmentation. We adapt to what you need.
Our engineers document their work, write clean code, and actively transfer knowledge to your team. When the engagement ends, you keep everything.
Our engineers have embedded into teams across these verticals, bringing domain-relevant mobile experience.
Banking apps, payment platforms, trading interfaces. PCI compliance, biometric auth, real-time data.
Patient apps, EHR integrations, wearable companions. HIPAA considerations, HL7/FHIR, clinical workflows.
Guard management, shift scheduling, GPS patrol tracking. Offline-first, battery optimization, rugged conditions.
BLE device companions, sensor data apps, firmware integration. Real-time streaming, protocol engineering.
Streaming apps, content platforms, social features. Video playback, caching strategies, engagement metrics.
Mobile-first B2B tools, CRM companions, field service apps. Complex data sync, role-based access, offline support.
What clients say
Zawar joined CLEIO's Android development team on an engagement through DEVSFLOW Technologies and quickly proved himself to be a dependable, communicative, and professional consultant. He integrated smoothly into the project team, ramped up on the project context efficiently, and consistently delivered against the cadence set by the client.
“Thank you Zawar, for the work you've done resolving revenue-impacting issues from the Tracktik mobile app.”
“Thank you Zawar, it has been a real pleasure working with you. I wish you the best in your projects!”
“Thank you for the reliable application you delivered, not a single failure since I've been using it.”
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.
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.
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.
Yes, we offer a conversion path after 6 months of engagement. We'll work out a transition that's fair to everyone involved.
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.
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.
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.
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.
