Discuss this scopeTeam augmentation in Cyprus
Senior engineers embed in your team and build to the same production standard as our own shipped product, accountable to us the whole way through.
We place senior engineers inside your team to build alongside the people you already have, on your codebase, in your tools, against your roadmap. They are held to the standard behind our own shipped product, in daily production use, with our review and handover discipline travelling with them.
This is not staffing. We do not rent out junior bodies by the hour and walk away. We embed people who would pass our own code review, and we stay accountable for the work they ship.
You need senior hands now, ready to ship
Hiring senior engineers in Cyprus is slow, and the staffing route that promises to fill the gap usually makes it worse. You get a contractor who needs months to become useful, leaves undocumented code behind, and works to whatever standard they happened to bring with them. The review burden lands on your own team, so the help costs you more than it returns.
What most teams actually need is capacity that arrives already production-minded: people who write tested code, leave a clean trail, and hold a line on quality without being chased. That is a different thing from a seat filled, and it is the thing we provide.
People who would pass our own code review
These are the roles we embed and the standard they carry. We match the engineer to the gap, not a package to your budget.
Rostermatched to the work
AI engineer
Models in production, evaluated and kept honest.
Full-stack engineer
Features end to end, from the schema to the screen.
Data engineer
Pipelines that stay correct as the data grows.
Backend engineer
Services and APIs built to hold under real load.
Platform engineer
The build, deploy, and run path your team relies on.
Test engineer
Coverage that lets the team ship without holding its breath.
Roles we place, matched to the gap you have, then held to the standard behind our own product.
Senior engineers, embedded
Experienced engineers join your team and work directly on your codebase and roadmap, in your tools, from the first commit.
Held to our production standard
The same engineering bar that goes into our own product applies to the work they ship for you: tested, documented, and built to keep working after they leave.
Our review discipline travels with them
Code review, version control, and clear logging come as part of the engagement, so the quality does not depend on your team policing it.
Scaled to the gap you actually have
One engineer to cover a specialism, or a small group to move a roadmap, matched to the work rather than sold as a fixed package.
Accountable to us, working with you
The engineers report into your day-to-day, and we stay responsible for the standard of their output throughout.
What changes between week one and week six
The same team rituals, watched first and then run, across the checkpoints that actually show whether an engineer has joined the team.
Week 1Week 6
Daily standup
Week 1Sits in, learning the shorthand and the priorities.
Week 6Runs point on their own thread of the sprint.
Pull requests
Week 1Every change reviewed line by line before merge.
Week 6Reviews land from them too, held to the same bar.
Sprint planning
Week 1Estimates with a second pair of eyes.
Week 6Scopes and commits their own slice independently.
Incidents and on-call
Week 1Shadows the response and reads the runbook.
Week 6Carries the pager for their own area.
Decisions and docs
Week 1Reads the existing decision log to learn how the team reasons.
Week 6Writes the next decision record themselves.
Capacity that leaves your team stronger
What stays behind is tested code in your repository and a team that can carry it forward.
Engineers who are productive early
Senior people who can read an unfamiliar codebase and contribute without months of hand-holding from your team.
Production-grade code in your repo
Tested, reviewed, and committed to your own version control, built to the same standard as our shipped product.
Documentation as you go
The work is documented while it is built, so nothing depends on the engineer staying to explain it.
A clean handover at the end
Your team can run, extend, and maintain everything that was built once the engagement closes.
A single point of accountability
One relationship with us for the standard of the work, rather than a contractor you have to manage and quality-check alone.
It is our own AI bookkeeping product, in daily production use, where a day of period-close becomes about twenty minutes of review. Every engineer we embed carries this checklist into your codebase from the first commit. For a delivery we own end to end instead, see our custom software development.
The standard
The same definition of done we ship Pileform with
- Tests written and passing before merge
- Reviewed by a second engineer against our own bar
- Documented as the work is built
- Logged and watched once it runs in production
- Handover-ready from the first commit
Published starting prices
Ongoing capacity
For teams that want the engineers who built the system to keep running it, under one accountable relationship.

Embedding engineers, the questions we get
How is this different from a staffing agency?
A staffing agency rents you a seat and leaves the quality to whoever fills it. We embed senior engineers held to our own production standard, with our review and handover discipline, and we stay accountable for the standard of what they ship long after they leave.
Do the engineers work on our codebase or a separate one?
Yours. They embed in your team, your tools, and your repository, and contribute against your roadmap from day one, as added capacity inside the team you already have.
Who manages the engineers day to day?
You do, as part of your team and your workflow. We stay responsible for the engineering standard of their output, so you get the capacity without giving up the quality bar.
What level of engineer do you place?
Senior, production-minded engineers who would pass our own code review. We do not place junior bodies to fill a headcount number. If the work genuinely calls for a different shape of help, we will tell you.
What happens when the engagement ends?
The work is documented and runnable by your team, committed to your own version control as it was built. Nothing critical walks out the door with the engineer, because the documentation and review discipline were part of the engagement from the start.
Is team augmentation the right fit, or should we have you build it?
Augmentation fits when you have a team and a roadmap and need senior capacity inside it. When you would rather hand over a whole build for us to own and deliver, that is our custom software development service instead. We will say honestly which one fits your situation.
Tell us where your team is stretched thin
We will tell you honestly whether embedded senior engineers are the right answer, and who we would place to close the gap. If a delivered build fits better, we will say so.
