Solution — Software Development
Extra engineering capacity, inside your process
A small pod of vetted engineers embedded directly into your workflow — your sprint board, your repositories, your review standards — clearing the backlog your team cannot reach without pausing the roadmap.
01 — The Problem
Scale-up engineering teams end up fully consumed by roadmap work while a backlog of integrations, refactors, and long-promised features ages in the tracker. The classic responses both fail: hiring takes quarters, and handing the backlog to an outside agency usually means onboarding overhead that eats the very capacity it adds.
The missing option is capacity that joins your process instead of running its own: no parallel tooling, no vendor portal, no separate definition of done.
02 — How We Run It
Scope before staffing
Before anyone is allocated, we write down which backlog areas the pod owns, what "done" means for each, and where the boundary with your core team’s roadmap work sits. That document — not a rate card — is what the engagement is priced against.
Vetted, then embedded
Every engineer is screened by a working engineer through our technical vetting funnel before they ever reach a client. They join your repositories, your standups, and your review standards — not a parallel process.
Weekly working demos
Running software shown every week, not status decks. You see the same sprint board we do at all times, and one accountable delivery lead on our side means escalation is a conversation, not a ticket.
Handover as the default state
Source, documentation, infrastructure configuration, and IP are yours from the first commit. Handover is not a project phase at the end — which is what makes it safe to scale the pod down as the backlog burns down.
03 — The Shape of It
- 4–6
- engineers in a typical pod
- 2 wks
- kickoff target from first call
- weekly
- working demos, shared sprint board
- full IP
- yours from the first commit
A pod is not a body shop. If the scope document shows the work fits better as a single staffed engineer or a fixed-bid project, we recommend that instead — the scoping call is where we tell you.
