The premise
Sometimes you do not need a supplier. You need two more senior engineers on the board you already run, this quarter, and you need them to be good.
We second people from our own staff — not a bench of contractors we met last week — and they work inside your process, tooling and standards.
The parts of the work
Engineering seats
Backend, frontend, mobile, full-stack and data engineers with the stacks named up front, not discovered later.
Specialists
DevOps, QA automation, edge AI, and growth or email marketing specialists for short, sharp engagements.
Cover and surge
Parental leave, a hard deadline, or a migration weekend that needs four extra pairs of hands.
Try before you commit
A two-week paid trial per person. If the fit is wrong, you stop and owe nothing further.
Five steps, and what you hold at the end of each
Brief
One call to establish the stack, the seniority and the team you are dropping someone into.
Written role brief
Match
Two or three named profiles from our own staff, with real project history attached.
Named CVs
Interview
Your process, your technical bar. We do not push candidates you are unsure about.
Your decision
Embed
Access, context and pairing in week one; independent tickets by week two.
Productive engineer
Review
A monthly check-in on fit and value with you, separate from the engineer.

Asked first, every time
Who manages the person day to day?
You do. They attend your ceremonies and take your priorities. We handle employment, pastoral care and technical mentoring in the background.
Can seats convert to a project team later?
Often the cleanest path: start with two seats, and if the scope grows, move to a dedicated team on a single scope and rate.
Tell us what you’re trying to ship
A first call is thirty minutes and costs nothing. Bring the problem, not a spec — working out what to build is the part we are good at.
Or email office@symphonyapps.ro. We reply within one business day, in English or Romanian.
