Engineers inside your team, accountable through us
Our IT staff augmentation services add one to five screened engineers to the team you already run. Most start within 5–10 working days, and we stay their employer.
No recruiting on your side
We source and screen the engineers, then send you CVs we’re prepared to stand behind. You decide who joins.
No overhead to carry
You pay for the engineers you add, nothing else. Office space, equipment and Nepal employment costs stay with us.
We stay the employer
We remain the official employer of the engineers you add, and handle their contracts, payroll and documentation in Nepal.
Screened before you see them
Every engineer we put forward has passed our own technical screen, and you can interview them yourself before they start.
Extra capacity for a deadline
Need more hands for a release? Engineers usually start in 5–10 working days and roll off with 30 days’ notice when the push is over.
You run the work
You choose the engineers, set their priorities and review their work, the same way you manage your own staff.
You add engineers from Dignep to your own team for as long as you need them. You manage their work day to day; we employ them, pay them and handle HR in Nepal. Unlike outsourcing a project, you keep control of the backlog and the delivery.
Typically 5–10 working days from your request. That covers the shortlist, your interviews and setting up access. A whole dedicated team takes longer, usually two to four weeks.
It depends on the seniority of the engineers and how long you need them. We quote after a free 30-minute call and send a written proposal within two working days. You're billed only for the engineers you add.
Augmentation adds one to five engineers to a team you already run, and you manage them. A dedicated team is three to fifteen or more people working only on your product, usually with their own tech lead. If you don't have engineering leadership in-house, the dedicated team is the safer choice.
Frontend, backend and full-stack developers, QA engineers, DevOps engineers, UI/UX designers and AI/ML engineers. Our main stack is React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js and Python, on Supabase, Google Cloud or AWS.
Yes, and we'd rather you did. You get CVs first, then interview whoever you want, as many rounds as you need.
Give 30 days' written notice. The same notice applies to ending the engagement and to reducing the number of engineers.
How does staff augmentation with Dignep work?
You tell us the role, we send screened CVs, you interview, and the engineer usually starts within 5–10 working days. From then on they work as part of your team. We remain their employer, so the contract, payroll and HR stay on our side and on the record.
1–5 engineers
Developers, QA, DevOps, design or AI/ML specialists, added to your team.
5–10 working days
From your request to the engineer's first day, including interviews.
30 days' notice
Reduce or end the engagement with 30 days' written notice.
Five steps, about two weeks
The 5–10 working days run from your request to the engineer's first day. Most of that time is your interviews, which we'd never skip.
Cost depends mainly on seniority and engagement length. Pricing is scoped and quoted after a free 30-minute discovery call, with a written proposal within two working days.
Discovery call
Thirty minutes, free. The role, the seniority, your stack, your working hours and how long you expect to need the person.
Shortlist and CVs
We screen engineers from our team against the role and send you the CVs we'd stand behind, with pricing.
Your interviews
Interview as many of them as you like, in as many rounds as you need. You make the final call.
First day (within 5–10 working days)
The engineer joins your Slack or Teams, your repository and your standups. We handle their equipment and access on our side.
Monthly billing, 30 days' notice
One invoice a month for the hours worked. To reduce or end the engagement, give 30 days' written notice.
Who does what
Augmented engineers take direction from you. Everything that comes with employing them stays with us, run under our ISO/IEC 20000-1 certified service management.
| You handle | We handle |
|---|---|
| The backlog and daily priorities | Sourcing and technical screening |
| Code review standards and architecture decisions | Employment contract, payroll and tax in Nepal |
| Standups, sprint planning and your tools | Equipment, office, power and internet |
| Performance feedback on the work | Leave planning, HR and the engineer's career |
Is augmentation the right model?
Staff augmentation suits teams that already have engineering leadership. If you don't, one of the other models will work better.
| Model | Team size | Start time | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff augmentation | 1–5 engineers | 5–10 working days | You already have a team and a lead, and need more hands or one skill you lack. |
| Dedicated team | 3–15+ engineers | 2–4 weeks | A product that will keep changing for a year or more, and you want the same people on it. |
| Project-based | Scoped to the work | 1–3 week discovery | The scope is clear enough to fix, and you want us accountable for delivery against milestones. |
| PoC / MVP | Small squad | 4–8 week build | You need to prove an idea works, or put a first version in front of users, before committing more. |
Pricing is scoped and quoted after a free 30-minute discovery call, with a written proposal within two working days. Dedicated teams and staff augmentation run on 30 days' written notice; projects end on milestone acceptance.
Overlap with your working day
Our working day is 09:00–18:00 Nepal Time (UTC+5:45, no daylight saving). This is how it lines up with yours:
| Your region | Shared working hours |
|---|---|
| India | Almost the whole day (IST is 15 minutes behind) |
| Australia (Sydney) | The Sydney afternoon, about 3–4 hours |
| Central Europe | The European morning, about 4 hours |
| UK | About 3 hours |
| US East / West | No natural overlap. We agree a fixed daily call window before kickoff, usually by moving the team lead's working day. |
When this isn't the right fit
- Nobody on your side can lead the engineers day to day. Augmented staff need direction; a dedicated team comes with its own tech lead.
- You need more than five engineers. At that size a dedicated team is easier to run and to budget.
- The scope is fixed and you want someone else to carry delivery risk. Use a project contract instead.
- You need someone in your office. Our engineers work remotely from Nepal.
