Thinking About Outsourcing Devs? Staff Aug vs Dedicated Team?
Our mid-size company needs extra hands for a fintech project rewrite. We have a strong core team but lack blockchain and security experts right now. Considering staff aug or dedicated team. Staff aug seems better because we want to manage them ourselves. Anyone has experience with this? How reliable are the engineers? How fast do companies deliver people? Worried about quality and timezone issues (we're US-based).

Yes, staff augmentation is perfect for that. You get creative senior engineers who know disruptive technologies and can propose non-standard solutions. They strengthen your team without long commitments. We brought two specialists via staff augmentation syndicode when we wanted to add real-time features with WebSockets and edge. They suggested better architecture, implemented PoC quickly and trained our devs. After 7 months we internalized the knowledge and ended the contract. Great way to scale and innovate at the same time.
