ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Team
Extension

Scale your development capacity with dedicated engineers who integrate directly into your team, work in your timezone, and align with your processes and culture.

What is Team Extension?

Team extension is an engagement model where external developers become an integrated part of your existing team. Unlike traditional outsourcing where you hand off projects to a separate vendor, extended team members work alongside your in-house developers, report to your managers, use your tools, and follow your processes.

Think of it as expanding your team without the traditional hiring overhead—no months-long recruitment, no office space requirements, no benefits administration. You get experienced developers who start contributing immediately, remain flexible to your changing needs, and can scale up or down as projects evolve.

How Team Extension Works

1
STEP 1

Define Your Needs

We discuss your technical requirements, team structure, project goals, and the skills you're looking for. Whether you need frontend developers, backend engineers, DevOps specialists, or full-stack generalists—we align on the right expertise.

2
STEP 2

Team Member Selection

We present profiles of developers whose skills match your requirements. You interview candidates to ensure technical fit and cultural alignment—just like hiring internally, but faster. You choose who joins your team.

3
STEP 3

Seamless Onboarding

Extended team members integrate into your workflows—accessing your repositories, attending your standups, using your project management tools. They're set up to work in your timezone with communication overlap that matches your schedule.

STEP 4

Ongoing Collaboration

Your extended team works as part of your in-house team—you assign tasks, conduct code reviews, and manage priorities directly. We handle administrative overhead, payroll, and provide backup support to ensure continuity.

When Team Extension Makes Sense

Scaling

Rapid Team Scaling

You need to expand development capacity quickly for a major initiative, but traditional hiring takes too long and you're not ready for permanent headcount.

Skills

Specialized Skills Needed

You need expertise in specific technologies (AI/ML, blockchain, mobile) for a limited time. Hiring full-time for temporary needs doesn't make economic sense.

Flexibility

Flexible Capacity

Your workload fluctuates seasonally or project-by-project. Team extension lets you scale up for busy periods and scale down when demand decreases.

Key Advantages

01

Faster Than Hiring

Get experienced developers in weeks instead of months—no recruitment overhead, no benefits negotiation, no office setup

02

Flexibility & Control

You maintain complete control over what gets built, how it's built, and team priorities—just like managing internal staff

03

Reduced Risk

If team dynamics don't work, you can adjust without the complications of employee termination—flexibility without commitment

04

Knowledge Transfer

Extended team members share expertise with your internal team, improving overall capabilities and best practices

05

Focus on Core Team

Your permanent staff focuses on strategic initiatives while extended team handles execution capacity

06

Cost Efficiency

Access global talent at competitive rates without sacrificing quality or communication

What Our Team Extension Includes

Dedicated Resources

Developers work exclusively on your projects during contracted hours—no shared attention, no context switching between clients

Direct Communication

Extended team members join your Slack, attend your meetings, and communicate directly—no intermediary account managers

Your Tools & Processes

They use your Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, coding standards, and project management tools—seamless integration

Long-Term Commitment

Extended team members typically work with you for months or years, building deep product knowledge and becoming valued team contributors

Quality Assurance

We ensure code quality through reviews and provide technical leadership support when needed

Administrative Support

We handle payroll, benefits, equipment, and backup coverage—you focus on building product

Ideal for Organizations That

Have existing development teams

You already have internal engineering but need additional capacity for specific initiatives or ongoing development velocity.

Want direct control over development

You prefer managing tasks and priorities yourself rather than delegating project management to a vendor.

Need specific technical expertise

You're looking for developers with experience in particular technologies, frameworks, or domains that are hard to find locally.

Value long-term collaboration

You want team members who invest time learning your product, domain, and codebase—building institutional knowledge over time.

Require flexibility

Your project needs evolve and you want the ability to adjust team composition and size as requirements change.

Our Team Extension Philosophy

We believe extended team members should be indistinguishable from your internal staff in terms of commitment, communication, and quality. Here's how we ensure that:

Careful Matching

We don't just match technical skills—we consider communication style, experience level, and cultural fit. The goal is team members who mesh well with your existing culture.

Timezone Alignment

We ensure significant working hours overlap with your team. Real-time collaboration matters—async communication alone isn't enough for integrated teamwork.

Long-Term Relationships

We prioritize developer retention and satisfaction. When team members stay long-term, your product benefits from accumulated knowledge and reduced ramp-up time.

Transparent Communication

Extended team members communicate progress, blockers, and questions directly. No information gets lost in translation through account managers.
