Staff augmentation
Add vetted engineers to your team for a sprint or a year. You keep control of the work; we find the people who can actually do it.
When you’d reach for this
A deadline arrives faster than headcount. A specialist skill is missing for one phase. A permanent hire can’t be justified for a short burst of work. Augmentation fills the gap without the overhead of a full-time role.
A capacity peak
A release or migration needs more hands for a few months, not a permanent addition to the org chart.
A missing specialism
You need a skill - mobile, DevOps, data - for one phase of work, not forever.
Cover without commitment
A role is open or someone is on leave, and the team is quietly absorbing the gap.
What you get
Specialists or squads
A single engineer embedded in your team, or a ready-made group - on-site or remote.
Vetted before you meet them
Every engineer clears a real technical and culture bar, judged on architecture, code rigour and delivery.
Shipping in about two weeks
From brief to onboarded, without a CV pile to wade through.
You keep control
Augmented engineers work under your direction, in your process, on your tools.
We’ve been on your side of the table.
Pype was born inside Realm Digital, a 25-year-old engineering consultancy. We’ve owned the deadlines and hired the engineers ourselves - so we know what good looks like, and we vet for it.
That’s the difference between a CV-matching service and a technical partner.
Common questions
How is this different from permanent recruitment? +
Augmentation embeds an engineer in your team for a defined period, under your management, without a permanent hire. Permanent recruitment places a full-time employee. If you are not sure which fits, a short discovery call usually settles it.
Can we convert an augmented engineer to permanent? +
Yes. Many engagements start flexible and become permanent once the fit is proven. We agree the terms up front so there are no surprises.
On-site or remote? +
Either. We place engineers on-site, fully remote or hybrid - whatever matches how your team works.
