Hire Staff+ Engineers.

The engineers other engineers ask.

Staff+ engineers embedded in your team through staff augmentation. Staff-plus is a different job, not a bigger salary band. The Staff+ engineers in our network have owned architecture across teams, killed projects that deserved it, and made whole orgs faster , and can show you where.

How it works

The work, in practice.

Cross-team architecture, technical strategy, the hardest migrations, design reviews that raise the floor. Place one where the decisions are expensive and the reversals more so.

FAQ

Before you ask.

How do you vet "Staff" beyond the title?
Artifacts. RFCs they authored, migrations they ran, the postmortem where they were incident commander. Titles are inflation; artifacts are not.
Will a Staff+ engineer write code day-to-day?
Yes. Ours stay hands-on by design. Expect 50–70% coding, the rest leverage: reviews, design, unblocking.
What does one cost?
Top of our dedicated-hire band. The 60/25/15 split still applies, see pricing.

A 30-minute call with an engineer, not a salesperson. We will map the capacity and ownership the work actually needs.
