Feature sprints
You have a roadmap, you don't have the hands. We add sprint capacity in days, not the three months a full-time hire takes.
Solutions / Software Development Staff Augmentation
Stop hiring. Start shipping.
Staff augmentation for software teams, without the hiring loop. A WeTheMakers engineer embedded in your product, on the same codebase and the same standups, shipping alongside your team.
Who this is for
Dev capacity for teams that need to ship now
Founders hiring faster than HR can move, teams in a hiring freeze, CTOs who want output without HR overhead, and post-raise teams working against milestone deadlines.
We match one engineer or a small pod, shape the seniority to the engagement, and adapt to your stack. Full-lifecycle engineering: we handle the devs from A to Z.
How this is bought
One engineer, one monthly fee
The shape of a staff augmentation engagement, before you ask for a number.
The shape
A flat monthly fee per engineer, set by seniority and stack rather than ticket count. One engineer or a small pod, matched to your codebase and your pace. They join your repo, your Slack and your standups as a teammate, and you keep the roadmap, the code review and every decision.
Minimum and notice
Three months minimum, then month to month with 30 days notice. Anything shorter and nobody gets productive. If the fit is wrong in the first two weeks, we swap the engineer at no cost. After that, 30 days notice and we rotate. Scale up, rotate skills, or wind down on the same notice.
The first month
Day one is repo access and a codebase review. The first ticket ships by the end of week one and the first meaningful pull request is merged in week two. By week four the first full feature is in production and the delivery rhythm is visible in your sprint reviews.
Where this runs today
A current engagement, not a hypothetical
Oud Soloist
Ongoing engineering on a Flutter platform shipped to 27 countries.
Video lessons, curricula, an instrument store and one-on-one sessions, on one codebase that runs on web, iOS and Android. WeTheMakers engineers deliver the roadmap in scoped waves agreed with the client.
The engagement
Embedded, not outsourced
Your stack, your tools, your standups. We just happen to be on the payroll.
Matched to your project
We match the right engineer to your stack, pace, and scope. Junior, mid, or senior: you tell us what the project needs.
Fully integrated
Full access to your tools: Jira, Linear, Slack, GitHub. Same codebase, same ceremonies, same on-call rotation if you want it.
Ships from day one
No ramp-up weeks billed against delivery. Codebase review on day one, first ticket closed by end of week one.
Transparent output
Every sprint has clear deliverables agreed in writing. You always know what we're working on, and why.
In your rhythm
Standups, sprint planning, retros: we show up like a full-time team member, not a contractor on the sidelines.
Monthly retainer
Monthly engagement with agreed scope and deliverables. No surprise invoices.
How it works
From match to delivery
1
Team match
We pick the right engineer or pod from our team for your stack, culture, and velocity. No bench warmers.
2
Sprint zero
First week: repo access, codebase review, first ticket shipped. We integrate as teammates, not vendors.
3
Ongoing delivery
Monthly retainer with sprint reviews and transparent output. Scale up, rotate skills, or wind down with 30 days notice.
How an engagement runs
Your first 12 weeks with us
From the day we match to the quarterly review, here is the shape we run.
- Day 0
We match engineers to your stack and team
We interview your lead, review your repo and roadmap, and propose the mix: one engineer, a pod, or a scaled team. Seniority shapes to what the engagement needs.
- Week 1
Onboarding: access, standups, first 1:1s
Repo, tools, Slack, ceremonies. The engineer joins as a teammate, not a vendor.
- Week 2
First meaningful PR merged
A real PR that moves your roadmap forward, reviewed by your team. Not a docs placeholder.
- Week 4
First full feature in production
Tested, documented, shipped. The delivery rhythm is set and visible.
- Week 8
Engagement review and adjust
Scale the team up, rotate skills, or wind down if the need is covered. No lock-in.
- Week 12
Quarterly review and plan
Full retrospective. Continue, shift to maintenance, or hand off with documentation for your team to own.

Use cases
When teams call us
Green-field builds
You're starting something new. We build it while your core team stays focused on the product they already own.
Technical debt burns
A backlog of refactors and fixes nobody has time for. We clear it systematically, with documented rationale for every call.
Common questions
Before you ask.
Straight answers before the first call.
A flat monthly fee per engineer. The number follows seniority and stack, not ticket count, so a senior on a complex product build costs more than a mid-level engineer on a marketing site, and we will tell you which one the work needs. Three months minimum so the engineer can get up to speed, then month to month with 30 days notice. There are no ramp-up weeks billed against delivery: repo access and a codebase review on day one, the first ticket closed by the end of week one. If the fit is wrong in the first two weeks we swap the engineer at no cost. You own the code and the IP from the moment it is written. Tell us the role, the stack and the start date and we send a quote the same week, with the scope written down so there are no surprise invoices later.
Staff augmentation adds engineers to your team. Outsourcing hands a project to someone else's team. With augmentation you keep the roadmap, the standups, the code review and every decision, and the engineer works in your repo under your process, in your Slack and your sprint. With outsourcing the project comes back as a deliverable, and the knowledge of how it was built leaves with the vendor. The practical test is who manages the work day to day. If you have a technical lead and the constraint is hands, augmentation gives you capacity without the hiring loop and without a project manager in between. If you have no technical lead, augmentation puts engineers under someone who cannot evaluate them, and a scoped build or a fractional CTO is the better fit. We sell both and will say which one you need.
No. IT staffing places a candidate and steps back, leaving you to manage, replace and pay for them. Staff augmentation keeps the engineer on our payroll, with the fit, the cover and the replacement our problem rather than yours. You get the output without the employment relationship.
We embed senior engineers into your codebase on a monthly fee. Same Slack, same standups, same GitHub. No project managers in between, no markup on junior talent. You get the engineer's work directly.
You do, fully. Every contract includes an IP assignment. The code is yours the moment it is written.
Tell us in the first two weeks and we swap them at no cost. After that, 30 days notice and we rotate. We stand behind the fit, not just the placement.
The one that fits the job. A simple marketing site does not need a senior, and paying for one would be wasteful. A complex product build does. We pick the right fit for the scope, stack, and budget. If you are unsure what level you need, send us the work and we will tell you honestly.
We are based in Jordan. That gives us live overlap with Europe, the GCC, and most of the US workday. Our engineers work to your business hours, not ours.
Three months. After that, month-to-month with 30 days notice. Anything shorter and nobody gets productive. Longer commitments we will not push on you.
