TEAM EXTENSION

Hire Flutter developers
in 48 hours.

Senior Flutter, React Native, and full-stack engineers embedded in your existing team. $45/hr. Daily standups. Direct repo access. No recruitment overhead.

Good for

  • Filling a Flutter or React Native skill gap on your existing team
  • Adding capacity to ship a release on schedule
  • Bridging a hiring gap while your full-time search continues
  • Spinning up a new mobile initiative without committing to a full-time hire
  • Senior engineering review of an existing mobile codebase

Stack coverage goes beyond Flutter: the same engineers work daily in Dart, React Native, native Swift and Kotlin where projects demand it, and across the backend in Node.js, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, and Supabase, deploying to AWS and GCP. If your mobile work spills into the API layer, the same person can follow it there instead of throwing tickets over a wall.

What's included

How it works

  1. Day 0 — Intro call. 30 minutes. Tell us what you need: stack, scope, timezone, start date.
  2. Day 1 — Match. We propose 1–2 engineers from the team with relevant experience.
  3. Day 2 — Kickoff. Repo access, Slack invite, first standup. They're in.
  4. Weekly. Invoice for hours worked. Pause or scale up at any time.

Expect the first week to look like any good senior onboarding: environment set up on day one, first pull request within the first couple of days, and meaningful ticket velocity by the end of the week. If that's not what you're seeing, you tell us and we fix it — that's what weekly billing is for.

Engagement models

Sprint boost

A release is at risk and you need senior hands for four to eight weeks. The engineer picks up tickets from your board on day two and rolls off cleanly when the release ships — no severance, no awkward goodbye.

Ongoing capacity

A long-running engagement where one or more engineers become a stable part of your roadmap — common for teams whose web product needs a mobile sibling without standing up a separate mobile department.

Codebase rescue & review

Inherited a Flutter app from a previous vendor? We audit the architecture, fix what's dangerous, document what's left, and either hand it back healthy or keep maintaining it at the same hourly rate.

Why extend instead of hire?

Hiring a senior Flutter engineer takes months: sourcing, screening, take-home tests, notice periods — and a US salary north of $150k plus benefits before they write a line of code. Team extension inverts that math. You get a vetted senior engineer in your standup within 48 hours, pay only for hours worked, and can stop the moment the crunch is over. It's the difference between committing to headcount and renting exactly the capacity your roadmap needs this quarter.

It's also lower-risk than a freelancer marketplace gamble. Every engineer we place is part of the team that's shipped 30+ production apps together — including Amino Move (900K+ users) — and the same founder-led quality bar from our delivery process applies: daily syncs, code reviews, and risks flagged early.

Common questions

How are the engineers vetted?

Nobody joins a client team cold. Every engineer has shipped production apps with us, passed technical review by the founder (an engineer himself), and worked inside our delivery process before being placed with a client.

What if the engineer isn't a fit?

Tell us within the first week and we'll swap in a replacement or end the engagement — you only pay for hours actually worked. Billing is weekly precisely so there's no long commitment to regret.

Who manages the engineer day to day?

You do — they join your standups, your sprint board, and your repos, and report to your tech lead like any other team member. We stay involved in the background for quality and continuity.
