An extension of your team — not a vendor.
Senior engineers embedded in your stand-ups, on your Jira board, in your incident channel. Augusta's outsourcing model is built around dedicated product squads who become indistinguishable from your in-house team — except they ship more code.
- Pre-vetted, named engineers
- Direct access to your tools & systems
- EAT timezone overlap as standard
- Weekly sync & sprint demos
- Predictable monthly retainer
- Scale up or down with notice
- 30-day no-fault exit
Outsourcing without the outsourcing.
The classic outsourcing trade-off — cheaper engineers, but at the cost of distance, language, timezone friction, and quality variance — doesn't apply when the engineering team is in Nairobi, working in your timezone, on your codebase, every day.
Our outsourced engineers are indistinguishable from in-house ones — same standards, same processes, same quality bar. But you get the flexibility of stepping up or down without the hiring overhead.
Senior by default
Our embedded engineers have an average of 7 years' experience. We don't put juniors on outsourcing engagements unless you specifically want them on a structured mentorship plan.
Same time zone
EAT timezone, full overlap with London and Middle East working hours. No "it'll be done by morning" hand-offs across continents.
Continuity built in
Augusta engineers stay an average of 4.7 years. The person who joins your project this month will still be on it next year — institutional knowledge stays in the room.
30-day exit
If it isn't working — for any reason — you can exit in 30 days. We don't have lock-in contracts, and we won't fight you on the way out.

Three ways to embed us.
Pick the shape that fits your team and roadmap.
Single engineer
One senior engineer joins your team. They show up to your stand-ups, pick up tickets from your backlog, ship code on your trunk. Indistinguishable from a full-time hire.
Embedded squad
A 3–5 person product squad with their own tech lead. Self-organising, end-to-end delivery, but tightly coordinated with your roadmap and other teams.
Managed dev centre
10+ engineers, full-stack, organised as your offshore engineering arm. We handle hiring, performance, and culture; you set the roadmap.
Buyer questions.
