Engineering team extension, also called IT staff augmentation, adds software engineers, QA and test automation engineers, DevOps engineers, data engineers and cloud engineers to a client's own team, working on the client's backlog in the client's tools. SynconAI matches engineers to the client's stack, including Java, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, React, Angular, Node.js, PHP and .NET, reviews their technical work, and the client interviews and approves each one, with the engagement run part time, full time, as a dedicated team or on a monthly plan under a written agreement, for organizations in the United States, Australia and worldwide. - Engineering team extension adds software, QA, DevOps, data and cloud engineers to your own team for a period. - They work from your backlog, in your repositories and tools, and follow your review and release process. - You approve each engineer. Model, hours, NDA, IP, notice and replacement terms are agreed in writing first. ## Engineering team extension services - Backend engineers: Java, Python, Node.js, PHP and .NET services and APIs. - Frontend engineers: React, Angular and TypeScript interfaces. - Full-stack engineers: Features built end to end, from database to screen. - QA and test automation: Test plans, automated suites and regression testing. - DevOps engineers: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and environments. - Data engineers: Pipelines, warehouses and data quality checks. - Cloud engineers: AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud builds and operations. - Technical leads: Standards, code review and delivery planning for your team. ## How much engineering help do you need? Question: What does your team need to add? - One skill: A single engineer. Your team is strong but missing one skill or one pair of hands. - One role brief - Matched to your stack - Joins your next sprint planning - A few people: A small pod. A feature or service needs several roles working together. - Developer, tester and a lead - One shared brief - Works inside your process - A whole team: A dedicated team. A product or program needs a team of its own. - Roles planned with you - A technical lead on the team - Monthly review of size and mix Outcome: Engineers who work in your stack, your tools and your sprints ## Which engineers can join your team? Eight roles. One person or a mix, matched to a written brief. - Backend: Java, Python, Node.js, PHP and .NET. - Frontend: React, Angular and TypeScript. - Full-stack: Features from database to screen. - QA and test automation: Automated suites and regression. - DevOps: Pipelines, infrastructure as code. - Data: Pipelines, warehouses, data quality. - Cloud: AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. - Technical lead: Standards, reviews and planning. ## Which technology stacks do you cover? Common stacks, layer by layer. The role brief names the exact frameworks and versions you run. - Frontend (What users see): React, Angular, TypeScript, JavaScript - Backend (Services and APIs): Java, Python, Node.js, PHP, .NET - Data (Storage and pipelines): SQL databases, Snowflake, Databricks, Data pipelines - Cloud and DevOps (Where it runs): AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, CI/CD - Quality (How it is checked): Test automation, API testing, Regression suites ## Which platforms do your engineers work with? Cloud, data and tooling platforms our engineers are matched against, depending on the role. - AWS: Compute, storage, serverless and managed databases. - Microsoft Azure: App services, functions and Azure DevOps. - Google Cloud: Cloud Run, BigQuery and managed services. - GitHub: Repositories, pull requests and Actions pipelines. - Python: Services, data pipelines and automation scripts. - PostgreSQL: Schema design, queries and migrations. - Snowflake: Warehouse models, loads and transformations. - Databricks: Data engineering on the lakehouse. ## How do you vet engineers? Each check is against your stack and your brief. You make the final decision in your own interview. | What we check | How we check it | What you receive | | --- | --- | --- | | Language and framework depth | Technical interview against your stack | Notes on strengths and gaps | | Code quality | Walkthrough of past code with a senior engineer | Reviewer comments on the profile | | Testing habits | How they test and review their own work | Notes on testing approach | | Cloud and DevOps | Pipelines and environments they have run | Platforms and tools listed | | Communication | Conversation in English and working-time overlap | Overlap hours stated | | Certifications | Credentials checked with the issuer | Credentials listed on the profile | ## How does engineering team extension work? Six steps from the brief to the monthly check-in. Nobody starts without your approval. - Brief: Stack, level and role; Hours and overlap; NDA signed - Matching: Engineers matched to the brief; Technical review - Your interviews: You interview each engineer; You approve or decline - Access and setup: Repositories and tools; Codebase walkthrough - Delivery: Work from your backlog; Your reviews and releases - Monthly check-in: Report and feedback; Changes to size or mix ## What do you see each month? A short monthly report alongside the work in your own tools. - Hours by person: Time worked against the agreed plan. - Work delivered: Stories and tickets closed, linked to your board. - Reviews: Pull requests opened, reviewed and merged. - Risks and blockers: What is slowing the team and who can clear it. - Planned changes: Roles or hours to add or reduce next month. - Feedback: Your notes on each engineer, and theirs on the work. ## Cost and timing The first step is a free 60-minute architecture review of your engineering team and backlog setup, with a written plan you keep. Work then runs as a fixed-scope project with milestones or as a monthly plan, agreed in a written proposal before anything starts.

Part time, full time, a dedicated team or a monthly plan. The model, roles and hours are written into the proposal before anyone starts. ### Do the engineers use our tools and process? Yes. They work in your repositories, your board and your communication tools, and follow your code review and release process. ### Who owns the code they write? The agreement assigns the intellectual property in work created for you to you. An NDA is signed before profiles or code are shared. ### What if an engineer is not the right fit? Replacement is handled as the agreement sets out, and those terms are agreed in writing before the engagement starts. ### Do you only do Salesforce?
