Hire Dedicated Developers

Staff Augmentation
Your team, extended.
Hiring takes months. Freelancers go dark or juggle five clients. Your in-house team is at capacity, and the one skill you need is the one nobody on staff has. We give you vetted senior engineers who embed into your workflow — your tools, your standups, your coding standards — and start shipping in days, not quarters.
This is not a body-shop hand-off. Every engineer carries 5+ years of production experience, works your hours for real-time collaboration, and hands back clean, documented code you own outright. Scale the team up or down as the roadmap changes, with a replacement guarantee if the fit is ever wrong.
What You Get
A team that fits right in
Vetted senior engineers
Every developer has 5+ years in production — no juniors learning on your budget.
Embedded in your stack
They work in your tools — Jira, Linear, GitHub, Slack — and follow your conventions.
Real time-zone overlap
Engineers work your business hours so standups and reviews happen in real time.
Flexible scaling
Add, swap, or release developers per sprint as your roadmap shifts — no penalties.
Replacement guarantee
If the fit is ever wrong, we replace the engineer quickly at no extra cost.
Clean handover
Documented, fully-owned code transfers to you when the engagement ends.
Dedicated vs The Alternatives
Why dedicated beats the usual options
Hiring is slow, freelancers are flaky, and big agencies bury you in markup. A dedicated engineer is the middle path that actually works.
| Criterion | Dedicated Dev (Ethersofts) | Freelancer / New Hire |
|---|---|---|
| Time to start | < 1 week | 1–3 months |
| Seniority | Vetted, 5+ yrs | Hit or miss |
| Commitment | Dedicated to you | Juggling clients |
| Scaling | Up/down per sprint | Re-hire each time |
| If it’s not a fit | Fast replacement | Start over |

Example Outcome
From stalled backlog to shipping weekly
Challenge
A scaling startup had a maxed-out in-house team and a backlog growing faster than they could hire. Recruiting senior engineers was taking months they didn’t have.
What We Built
We matched two vetted senior engineers within a week. They embedded into the team’s Linear board, GitHub, and Slack, adopted the existing conventions, and shipped in their first sprint.
