Team augmentation with BigBinary is about adding experienced Ruby on Rails engineers to your team without the long hiring cycle or onboarding headache. When deadlines are tight, priorities are shifting, or your roadmap is bigger than your current capacity, we step in as an extension of your existing team—not as a separate agency off to the side.
Our engineers bring years of hands-on experience building and maintaining real-world Rails applications. We’re comfortable working in complex codebases, dealing with legacy decisions, and navigating the trade-offs between speed and long-term maintainability. Whether you need help building new features, improving performance, or paying down technical debt, we slot in where the impact is highest.
From day one, we adopt your tools, rituals, and processes. We join your standups, participate in code reviews, follow your coding standards, and communicate in the same channels your team already uses. The goal is to feel like “more of your team,” not “some external vendor.” That tight alignment keeps context-switching low and output high.
Engagements are flexible. You can bring in one engineer or a small group, for short-term support or long-term collaboration. As your needs change, you can scale the team up or down without worrying about recruiting, onboarding, or offboarding full-time employees. You get senior-level productivity with far less operational overhead.
Code quality and knowledge sharing are core to how we work. We leave your codebase better than we found it—cleaner abstractions, fewer surprises, stronger test coverage, and clearer documentation. Along the way, we share patterns, practices, and insights so your in-house team gets stronger, too.
With BigBinary augmenting your team, you can move faster on your roadmap while keeping quality and stability under control. You stay focused on product and business priorities, while we focus on writing solid Rails code that supports those goals.
