What it is
We prepare engineers before they meet your team.
Team extension lets you scale capacity without rebuilding your org. You stay in control.
We find, vet, and prepare the engineers before you meet them. That preparation includes a briefing on your company type (startup, growing company, or enterprise) so they understand the environment they're walking into, not just the tech stack. You manage them directly. They join your Slack, attend your standups, commit to your repo. We don't disappear after placement. Your account contact stays involved, runs monthly check-ins, and handles any performance issues. If something isn't working, we fix it fast. Free replacement within 30 days. This model is sometimes called staff augmentation. We prefer to call it team extension because that's how it actually works.
Why it works
Capacity when you need it. Control you keep.
Team extension is the fastest way to scale an engineering team without rebuilding your entire org structure.
Ready in days, not months
Our bench of vetted engineers means we can match you with a shortlist in 3 days for common roles like full-stack, not 90.
You manage them directly
No account managers in between.
Vetted across five dimensions
We assess technical depth, English communication, AI tool fluency, ownership mindset, and cultural alignment to US teams.
Timezone aligned
LATAM engineers overlap with US business hours by 4 to 8 hours depending on timezone.
Scale up or down
Add engineers when a sprint demands it, reduce when the workload eases.
Full employment handled
We handle contracts, payroll, compliance, and local labor law in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and more.

How we use AI
AI in every step.People sign off on all of it.
Every team we place works with AI tools from day one and keeps training on them as new models and practices appear. It makes the work faster. It does not replace the review.
What stays human
- Peer review on every pull request
- Manual and automated testing
- QA before anything ships
- Architecture and product decisions
Planning
Break down scope, estimate, and spot risks before the sprint starts.
Coding
Scaffold, refactor, and pair with AI inside the editor.
Testing
Generate test cases and edge cases. People decide what passes.
Documentation
Keep docs and PR descriptions current without the Friday scramble.
Research
Compare libraries, read specs, and prototype faster.
Code review
First pass by AI, final call by a person.
Need AI inside your product? The engineers we place build that too.
AI & ML developmentBest fit
This works best for teams that already know how to build.
Team extension adds engineers to an existing org.
Scaling startups
Post-funding teams that need to ship fast without paying Bay Area salaries for every engineer on the roadmap.
Mid-market product companies
Teams with a solid engineering culture that want to add specific skills, such as a backend specialist or a mobile engineer, without disrupting the core org.
CTOs with delivery pressure
Technical leaders who need dependable output on specific workstreams while their US team focuses on architecture and product decisions.
Agencies with overflow work
Development shops that need trusted extra capacity on client projects without taking on full-time risk.
What we cover
Most stacks, covered.
Before you decide
The doubts everyone has before hiring us.
And what we do about each one.
I've been burned by agencies that just forward resumes.
Only 5% of applicants pass our five-dimension vetting.
Remote engineers disappear or jump to another job.
Your account contact runs a structured check-in every month with you and, separately, with the engineer, so problems surface early.
It will cost more than hiring directly or using a freelancer.
You pay one monthly invoice with no placement fee.
No placement feeI don't want outsiders touching our code and data.
Every engineer signs a full NDA before day one, code belongs to your company from the moment it is written, and access goes only to the people who need it, under your security policies.
