Game Development Staff Augmentation
Add senior Unity, Unreal and Godot developers, artists, technical artists and QA to your studio — working in your tools and your sprints, scaled month to month.
Extra capacity, without the hiring overhead
Hiring experienced game developers takes months. Staff augmentation gives you vetted specialists who join your stand-ups, work in your repository and task tracker, and ramp up in days rather than quarters.
Start with one developer or a full squad with a lead. As production changes, scale the team up or down with notice — no recruitment fees and no long lock-ins.
- Engineers, artists, technical artists & QA
- Works in your Jira, Git & build pipeline
- Overlapping hours with UK, EU & Gulf teams
- NDAs and full IP assignment

How is staff augmentation different from outsourcing?
With staff augmentation our people join your team and you direct the work. With full-cycle outsourcing we own delivery against a scope and milestones. Many partners start with one model and switch as the project evolves.
Can we interview developers first?
Yes. You review profiles and interview candidates before anyone joins your project.
Who owns the work produced?
You do. Code, art and IP created for your project are assigned to you, and everyone on the team signs an NDA.
What is the minimum engagement?
You can start with a single specialist. We agree the notice period for scaling up or down before the engagement begins.
