Engineers who work inside your team, not next to it
We place engineers directly into your existing team, following your standups, your tools, and your reporting lines, as if they were hired staff. This is different from our Production Partnership service, which runs an independent production stream alongside your team rather than inside it.
Built for teams at these stages.
Teams with more roadmap than headcount
Your engineering team has a backlog it can't clear, and hiring takes months you don't have, but the work needs to happen inside your existing codebase and process.
Companies that want engineers in their own workflow
You want engineers attending your standups, using your project tracker, and reporting to your engineering lead, rather than an external team delivering finished work on its own schedule.
Teams testing before a permanent hire
You need a role filled now (a backend engineer, a frontend specialist, a DevOps hire) and want to see how someone performs inside your team before committing to a full-time hire.
What's inside this service.
- Feature work directly inside your existing codebase and repositories
- Bug fixes and technical debt reduction alongside your own engineers
- Backend, frontend, or infrastructure work depending on the seat you need
- Code review participation as an active member of your engineering team
- Documentation and knowledge transfer within your existing systems
- On-call or maintenance coverage, depending on your team's rotation needs
Technical depth across the stack.
Embedded workflow
- Daily standups and sprint ceremonies inside your existing process
- Working in your project tracker (Jira, Linear, or whatever you already use)
- Reporting to your engineering lead or manager, not a separate LoopVerses lead
- Following your existing code review, testing, and deployment standards
Seniority matched to the role
- Mid-level engineers for feature work and day-to-day development
- Senior engineers for architecture decisions and complex feature ownership
- Specialists for focused needs like DevOps, mobile, or data engineering
- Consistent individuals over time, not a rotating pool of unfamiliar names
Flexible commitment
- Month-to-month retainer per seat, scaled up or down as needs change
- Ability to add seats as your backlog grows
- Transition support if you decide to hire an engineer full-time later
- Clear handover documentation if an engagement ends
Everything covered in this engagement.
- A dedicated engineer matched to the seniority and skill set you need
- Full integration into your existing tools, standups, and reporting lines
- Direct communication with your engineering lead, no account manager layer
- Monthly reporting on hours and work completed
- A transition plan if you scale the engagement up, down, or end it
How an engagement runs.
Define the seat
We clarify the role you need filled: seniority level, tech stack, and how the engineer will fit into your team structure.
Candidate match
We match an engineer from our team whose experience fits the seat, and share their background for your review.
Onboarding into your workflow
The engineer is onboarded into your codebase, tools, and standups the same way a new hire would be.
Working inside your team
The engineer works daily standups, sprint planning, and code review as an active member of your existing team.
Ongoing check-ins
We check in regularly with you and the engineer to confirm the fit is working and adjust scope or seats as needed.
Tools and platforms we work with.
Where this service applies.
Startup filling a backend seat during a hiring freeze
A startup has budget approval for engineering work but a hiring freeze on headcount, so they add a senior backend engineer on retainer who works inside their sprints until the freeze lifts.
Scale-up clearing a feature backlog
A growing company's roadmap has outpaced its team size, so they add two mid-level engineers who join existing sprints and clear backlog items alongside the in-house team.
Team testing a role before a permanent hire
A company unsure whether it needs a full-time DevOps hire brings in a specialist on retainer for a few months, working inside their infrastructure team, before deciding to convert the role to a direct hire.
