IT staff augmentation services
Our IT staff augmentation services, also known as team extension, add engineers with the skills your roadmap needs. They work inside your process, while your team keeps the priorities and day-to-day management.
AI CODING TOOLS WE USE
Extend your engineering team
Staff augmentation suits a team that already has engineering leads and a delivery process but needs more capacity or a specific skill, for a backlog on a live product, an integration or a data pipeline. We talk through the work first, then match engineers to it.
Application and backend development
Features and services for the product your team already runs.
Integrations
Connections to partners, payment and order systems, and internal tools.
Data engineering
Pipelines, ETL and the data behind analytics and machine learning.
QA and test automation
Automated and integration tests that fit your release process.

FAQ
FAQs
Short answers to what clients usually ask before a first call.
How is staff augmentation different from a dedicated development team?
With staff augmentation, our engineers join your team and work under your management. A dedicated team is a stable VARTEQ team on your roadmap, and we run its delivery. If you need delivery leadership as well as engineers, a dedicated team is the better fit.
Who sets priorities and manages the engineers?
Your team does. The engineers follow your priorities, process and tools and report to your leads. Any support VARTEQ provides alongside them is agreed at the start.
How are engineers selected for our team?
We start from the role and the work, propose engineers who fit it and agree the choice with you. How candidates are introduced is covered on the first call.
How do you decide the skills, start date and engagement length?
From the role, the work, your technical environment and who is available. We agree these together and confirm the terms before anyone starts.
