Team augmentation
AI staff augmentation and team augmentation services
Team augmentation places our senior AI, data and integration engineers in your team, tied to a written outcome and a planned handover.
When it fits

Questions
What are AI staff augmentation services?
AI staff augmentation adds senior AI, data or integration engineers to your team for a defined outcome. Solve8's engineers work in your tools and repositories, and the handover is part of the scope.
How is team augmentation different from an agency contractor?
An agency places a person and steps away. Solve8 starts with a written outcome, reviews the work against it, and includes the handover in the scope.
What is developer team augmentation?
Developer team augmentation adds experienced engineers to your existing development team for a specific build. Solve8's engineers often act as technical lead over your developers or vendor, working in your repositories and ceremonies until a defined end point.
Where are your engineers based?
Solve8's engineers are based in Australia. They work inside your environment and repositories under your access controls, join you on site for planning and reviews when it helps, and work remotely the rest of the time.
Who owns the code an augmented engineer writes?
Ownership is agreed in writing before work starts, and in practice the code is built in your repositories and environment from day one. Everything is documented as it is written, so your team can carry it on after the engagement ends.
