Staff augmentation
Senior engineers who join your team, not a ticket queue.
Add experienced engineers to the team you already have. They work in your repos, follow your rituals, report to your leads — and they're backed by CrossX, so you're never managing the gap alone.
How it works
Discover. Match. Embed. Scale.
A short, deliberate process designed to get the right person into your standups quickly — without skipping the parts that make a placement work.
Discover
Understand the gap
We learn what you're building, where the team is stretched, the stack, the working hours and the kind of engineer who thrives with you. The output is a role brief we both agree on.
Match
Introduce vetted engineers
We put forward a shortlist of senior engineers whose experience fits the brief. You interview them the way you'd interview anyone joining your team, and you decide.
Embed
Onboard into your workflow
Your engineer joins your tools, channels and ceremonies. We help with access, context and a first-sprint plan so they're contributing to real work early.
Scale
Adjust as you go
Add engineers as your roadmap grows, swap skill sets as priorities shift, or wind down when your own hires land. Regular check-ins keep the engagement honest.
Roles we place
The senior people your roadmap is waiting on.
Every role below is staffed at senior level. Combine roles to form a pod, or start with one engineer.
Backend engineers
Services, APIs, data models and the performance work behind them.
Frontend engineers
Fast, accessible interfaces and the design-system discipline to keep them consistent.
Full-stack engineers
Engineers who can take a feature from schema to screen without a handoff.
Mobile engineers
Native and cross-platform apps that feel right on every device.
Data & ML engineers
Pipelines, warehouses, models and the LLM features built on top of them.
DevOps & SRE
Cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, observability and on-call practices that hold up.
QA automation engineers
Test strategy and automation that makes frequent releases safe.
Engineering managers
Hands-on leads who can run a pod, mentor engineers and keep delivery predictable.
What's included
More than a résumé and an invoice.
Augmentation works when the engineer is set up to succeed. These come with every CrossX placement.
Rigorous vetting
Technical depth, communication and judgment are assessed by senior engineers before anyone reaches your shortlist.
Structured onboarding
A first-sprint plan, access checklist and context handover so your engineer isn't left guessing.
An accountable CrossX lead
One person who checks in with you and your engineer regularly and acts on what they hear.
Continuity planning
Documentation and knowledge-sharing habits so work doesn't stall when people rotate or roll off.
We stand behind every placement
If a match isn't working, tell us. We'll address it quickly — including finding the right replacement.
Flexible scale
Add, swap or reduce engineers as your plans change, without restarting a hiring process.
Build your team
Sketch the team you need.
Choose roles, seniority and timing to see a team summary and a ramp-up plan, then send it to us as a starting brief. No prices, no commitment — just a faster first conversation.

- Full-stack engineer
- Frontend engineer
- Backend engineer
- Mobile engineer
- AI/ML engineer
- Data engineer
- DevOps / platform engineer
- QA automation engineer
- Tech lead / architect
Principles
How we keep augmentation honest.
You direct the work
Augmented engineers take direction from your leads and work to your priorities. We don't run a shadow process.
Senior means senior
We don't place juniors under a senior title. If we can't find the right person, we'll tell you rather than send the wrong one.
Transparency over surprises
You'll hear about risks, blockers and fit concerns from us early — not at renewal time.
Leave the team stronger
Good augmentation transfers knowledge. Our engineers document, review and pair so capability stays when they leave.

Tell us about the gap. We'll tell you how fast we can fill it.
Share the roles, stack and timing. You'll get an honest answer about fit and availability.
