Extend your team
Grow your team with senior engineers, designers, and PMs — matched to how you already work.
A curated pipeline of pre-vetted product people from our Philippines studio. Embed them in your team on a monthly retainer instead of a fixed-scope project.
Starting from
Dedicated seats from $6K / month
Rates vary by role and seniority. All-inclusive monthly retainer.
Two-week replacement guarantee. Convert to permanent after twelve months.
Some work outlasts a project. When you need a second frontend engineer for the next twelve months, hiring a project studio is the wrong shape and hiring locally is a five-month process. We run the pipeline you'd have to build yourself — screening, matching, and onboarding senior product people who then sit inside your team, not ours.
What you get
- Matched candidate within two weeks of the brief
- Monthly retainer covering one dedicated seat, no recruiter fee
- Direct access — your Slack, your tools, your standups
- Two-week replacement guarantee if the fit isn't right
- Quarterly craft reviews with a mrkd principal
- Option to convert to a permanent hire after twelve months
Roles we cover
What working with us looks like
Three things you can expect.
First working prototype in your hands in about two weeks. Then a locked scope, a disciplined build, and no scope creep.
Matched in weeks, not months
The pipeline is always running. Most briefs get a shortlist inside a week and a matched candidate embedded in two.
Same craft bar as our project work
We screen every candidate the way our own engineers would — portfolio walk-through, hardest-thing-you-built, real judgement tests. Not the headcount-first screen a typical BPO runs.
Retention that survives the honeymoon
Because we screen for team fit and pay above market, our people stay. Multi-year embeddings are the norm, not the exception.
Who this is for
You need a real engineer, not a project.
You're past the prototype stage. Your team ships weekly and the roadmap needs a second senior engineer, a product designer, or a PM who owns a slice of the product. Local hiring takes five months you don't have. Team augmentation gets a matched person embedded in two weeks, on a monthly retainer you can walk away from.
What a program looks like
The first ninety days.
- Phase 1
Days 1–3
Brief call. We map the role, the stack, the team you're joining, and the unwritten rules new people usually trip on.
- Phase 2
Week 1
Shortlist of two or three matched candidates. You interview them the same way you'd interview a direct hire.
- Phase 3
Week 2
Chosen candidate joins a paired working session with your team. Real work, real feedback, before day one.
- Phase 4
Week 3+
Embedded in your standups. Your PM runs their week. We stay in the background as a craft backstop.
