For engineering leaders with a team already in place
Team augmentation services that scale the team you already have
You keep your roadmap, your rituals and your leads. We add senior LatAm engineers or a complete pod that plugs into your squads, works your hours and ships with AI‑augmented practices.
Team augmentation vs staff augmentation
Staff augmentation fills individual roles. Team augmentation starts from your existing team: we look at the gaps in capacity, skills and ownership, and add the people that make the whole squad deliver more.
| Team augmentation | Staff augmentation | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Your team, its backlog and its bottlenecks | A role or a job description |
| What we add | Engineers or a pod sized to the team’s gaps | One or more individual profiles |
| Who leads | Your leads, with GIGA IT technical oversight | Your managers |
| Best for | Squads that must ship more without re-orging | Hiring specific skills fast |
