Senior capacity, embedded

Team Augmentation / Nearshore Development

CTOs who need senior help without a hiring cycle

A 2–3 month hiring process isn't an option right now.

Product leads scaling a roadmap

You need another senior pair of hands in your sprints, not a new process to manage.

Built with

We work inside your existing repositories, ticketing system and communication tools from day one — your stack, not ours.

How we work on this

This is the one service where our process bends to yours: your repositories, your ticketing system, your sprint cadence, your standups. Onboarding is about getting a senior engineer productive inside your existing setup fast, not introducing a new process for your team to learn.

What we commit to

You own the code and the IP.

Everything we build transfers to you on completion and payment — no licensing traps, no dependency on us to keep running your own product.

Senior engineers only.

Every person on your engagement is senior. Nobody junior is billed at a senior rate, and nobody senior pitches the work only to hand it to a team you never meet.

EU-based, GDPR-native.

We operate under Portuguese and EU law, in your timezone, with data handling that's GDPR-compliant by construction, not by afterthought.

A written estimate before we start.

You get a written, fixed-scope estimate before any work begins — not a verbal ballpark, not a moving target.

Common questions

How quickly can a developer start?

That depends on current availability and the stack fit, so we won't promise a number that doesn't hold — but the point of this service is speed relative to a hiring cycle. Ask us where we stand for your specific stack and timeline; we'll give you a straight answer, not a placeholder.

Do your developers use our tools and processes, or their own?

Yours. This is the one service where we deliberately don't run our own process — your engineer works inside your repositories, your ticketing system, and your sprint ceremonies from day one, as if they'd joined your team directly.

Is our data handled under GDPR?

Yes. We're a Portuguese business operating under GDPR and Lei n.º 58/2019, with the CNPD as the supervisory authority. Our own website collects no personal data server-side by default — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what is and isn't collected.

Can you sign an NDA before we share details?

Yes. We'll sign a mutual NDA before any scoping conversation that requires sharing confidential information — just ask.

Tell us what capacity you need.

We'll tell you honestly how fast we can get a senior engineer into your sprint.
