Embedded developers

Add a senior developer to your team this month.

Staff augmentation done properly: senior developers in your team two days a week or full time, working in your repo, your tickets and your stand-ups. Fixed monthly plans from £6,500 + VAT that you can pause or change with notice. No recruitment fees, no six-month search.

yours, basically

What you get

Everything a hire gives you, minus the hiring

A plan is a person plus the things that make a person productive on day one.

A named developer, with a profile

Stack, seniority, years, how they work with AI. You read it before they start, and you can say no.

Your handler

One person who runs the weekly call, knows your roadmap, and sorts things out when they need sorting.

A weekly worklog

What shipped, what is next, what is blocked. Written by the developer, visible in your portal, every week.

AI tooling included

Our developers arrive with their tooling and their process. It is a flat subscription per person, covered by the plan, never a line on your invoice.

Code review on everything

A second senior developer reviews what ships, even on a one-person engagement. It is not optional.

Cover when life happens

Holidays and sick days are ours to manage, not yours. The wider team knows your codebase enough to step in.

How it runs

From first call to first pull request

We keep the start deliberately unfussy. A half-hour call to understand the work. A profile or two to choose from. The agreements, signed in the portal. Then a start date, usually within a couple of weeks.

From there your developer works the way your team works: your repo, your tickets, your stand-ups, your Slack. Your technical lead checks in weekly and you get a worklog every Friday. The invoice arrives monthly and says exactly what it is for.

Week 0: call, profiles, agreements, plan
Week 1: access, onboarding, first tickets
Every week: worklog and a call with your technical lead
Every month: one itemised invoice

The protections

The paperwork, in plain English

Bigger clients rightly ask about this before anything else, so here it is up front.

Non-solicitation. You agree not to hire our developers directly during the engagement and for a period afterwards. It is proportionate, it has a buy-out figure rather than a blanket ban, and it protects the thing that makes the plan work.
Intellectual property. Everything built for you is yours, transferred on payment. No licences, no lock-in.
Data protection. A proper data processing agreement under UK GDPR, with a named list of sub-processors, including any AI providers used on your work.
Notice. Three months minimum, then 30 days' notice. Pause, change capacity or stop, and it is handled through your technical lead, not an argument.

All of it is versioned and signed in the client portal, so both sides can always find the exact wording that applies.

boring on purpose

Good questions

Things people ask before adding a developer

Straight answers, no small print.

People we work with directly and have done for a while, on terms we manage. You never deal with the employment side, and cover is our problem, not yours.

Yes, in the sense that matters: senior developers added to your team, working your way, for as long as you need them. What we add is a named handler, weekly worklogs, code review on everything and agreements written in plain English, which is what most staff augmentation companies leave out.

Yes. You see the profile, then meet them on a call before anything is signed. If it is not a fit, we suggest someone else or tell you honestly if we can't help.

Ask your handler. Moving from two days to full time, or adding a second developer, is a plan change that takes effect on the next invoice, prorated fairly.

We are UK based and work UK hours. Your repo, your project board, your chat tool. We adapt to you, not the other way round.
