Extend your team · Vetted developers on our payroll, embedded in yours
Hire dedicated developers who work as part of your team
Senior Tech Insane engineers join your team month to month. They work in your tools, your rituals, and your codebase, while we handle employment, equipment, and continuity.
Best for
- CTOs who need senior capacity without a long hiring cycle
- Teams with a specific skill gap (Flutter, Swift, BLE, AI engineering)
- Scale-ups absorbing a roadmap peak
What's included
- Engineers vetted by our founder through a technical interview and code review
- Employment, payroll, equipment, and benefits handled by us
- Working-hours overlap with your team as agreed
- Continuity cover for leave and a replacement guarantee
- A monthly check-in with our founder on quality and fit
How it works
How extend your team works, step by step
Define the role
We agree the skills, seniority, working-hours overlap, and what success looks like in the first 30 days.
Meet the engineer
You interview the proposed engineer(s). Every candidate has already passed our founder's technical interview and code review.
Onboard into your team
They join your Slack, stand-ups, repositories, and board, and follow your engineering standards.
Stay accountable
We handle employment, equipment, and leave cover, and our founder checks in monthly with you on quality and fit.
You own: Day-to-day direction, priorities, and all code and IP. We own: Hiring quality, employment, continuity, and the engineer's professional standards.
Capabilities available in this model

Extend your team: questions
Are the developers freelancers?
No. They are Tech Insane engineers on our payroll, vetted by our founder, bound by our confidentiality and IP terms, and supported by our team.
What skills can we hire?
Flutter, Swift and iOS, Bluetooth Low Energy and IoT, AI engineering (LLM integration, retrieval, evaluation), and TypeScript, Node.js and Python web development.
What if the engineer is not the right fit?
Tell us. We will address it quickly and, if needed, propose a replacement. [REPLACEMENT TERMS: TODO(verify)]
How much time-zone overlap will we get?
Agreed up front. Engineers can shift their working day to give several hours of overlap with the Gulf, Europe, or the US East Coast. See the overlap table on our Book a Call page.
Considering the other model? Build with us
Tell us what you are building.
A 30-minute strategy call with our founder. We will ask sharp questions, tell you honestly whether we are the right team, and outline how we would approach it. NDA available before the call.
