Add senior engineering capacity without adding headcount. Levelbrook embeds in your sprint, picks up tickets, ships features, reviews PRs, and carries pager weight across Rails, Python, Node.js, APIs, integrations, Postgres and AWS — billed corp-to-corp through Levelbrook LLC.
Staff augmentation is the simplest way to add senior engineering capacity: instead of a months-long hire, you bring in an experienced contractor who works as part of your team for as long as you need them. Levelbrook provides senior software staff augmentation across Rails, Python, Node.js, APIs, integrations, Postgres and AWS — performing the work directly, billed corp-to-corp through Levelbrook LLC.
We're deliberately clear about what that is and isn't. Levelbrook is a senior consultant operating through an LLC, not a body shop selling a bench it can't fill. You get the engineer who answers your first email, end to end. When a project genuinely needs more hands, we can bring in vetted senior engineers we've worked alongside for years — transparently, with the principal staying accountable for delivery.
We join your standups, your sprint board, your Git workflow, and your on-call rotation if that's the deal. Work shows up as real PRs with written-down decisions. We're async-first on Pacific Time with flexible overlap, and we cap recurring syncs at two per week so the calendar stays clear for shipping.
Contracting is built to be frictionless for procurement: corp-to-corp through Levelbrook LLC is the default, with MSA, SOW, mutual NDA, and a Certificate of Insurance (General & Professional Liability, $1M / $1M) ready on day one. We onboard through vendor-management systems without drama, and we work directly with recruiters and staffing partners.
We pick up tickets off your board and ship them — Rails, Python, Node.js, services, APIs, background jobs, the works. Same throughput as a senior FTE.
A senior reviewing every PR raises the whole team's floor. We review fast, explain the why, and leave patterns the team keeps using after we're gone.
If it's part of the deal, we carry pager weight — triage incidents, write the postmortem, and ship the fix that keeps it from recurring.
When a design choice has long legs, we write it down: the options, the trade-off, the call. Decisions your team can defend in six months.
No — and we won't pretend to be. Levelbrook is a senior software consultant operating through an LLC. You get the engineer who answers your email doing the actual work. For needs beyond one person's capacity, we can transparently bring in vetted senior engineers from a small trusted network, with the principal accountable for delivery.
Corp-to-corp through Levelbrook LLC is the default, with 1099 and contract-to-hire also fine. We sign your MSA & SOW or provide ours, carry a mutual NDA, and supply a COI (GL + Professional Liability, $1M / $1M) on request.
Typically within the week. An optional trial week on a no-strings rolling contract lets you see real PRs before committing — either side can walk away at no cost.
