01 / How projects are staffed

How we staff projects

A core team leads every engagement. Engineers from the network join where the work needs a specific skill, for the length of the project.

    • One lead per projectEvery project has one lead who owns the scope, the quality and the relationship with the client.
    • Engineers matched to the workWe bring in dedicated engineers whose experience fits the project: the stack, the sector and the size of the problem.
    • One standard for everyoneEveryone follows the same delivery standards for security, privacy and code, so quality does not depend on who joins.
