Add engineers to your team without starting a recruitment cycle
Staff augmentation means your team grows by a named engineer who works your hours, in your repositories, under your tech lead. You keep the roadmap, the standards and the decisions. We carry the hiring, the payroll and the bench risk.
When augmentation beats hiring
Hiring a mid-level engineer in Western Europe takes somewhere between three and six months from approved headcount to first useful commit. That is fine when the need is permanent. It is expensive when the need is a twelve-month push, a migration with an end date, or a gap left by someone who resigned two weeks before a release.
Augmentation solves the timing problem, not the cost problem. If you are optimising purely for day rate you will find cheaper elsewhere and you should be honest with yourself about what you are buying. What augmentation buys is a competent engineer inside your process in weeks rather than quarters, without a permanent contract attached to a temporary need.
What stays yours
The architecture, the backlog, the definition of done and the merge button. Our engineers join your standups, take tickets from your board and open pull requests against your standards. If your team uses trunk-based development with mandatory pair review, so do we.
This matters more than it sounds. The common failure in outsourced delivery is a parallel process: a separate board, a separate repo, a separate definition of finished, and an integration surprise at the end. We do not run a parallel process. There is one team and some of it is us.
Working hours that actually overlap
Our engineering team is in Rabat and Casablanca, which sits at UTC+1. That is the same working day as Brussels, Paris and Amsterdam, and one hour behind London for part of the year. A question asked at 09:15 gets an answer at 09:15, not at the end of a handover note.
This is the single most underrated variable in distributed delivery. Full-day overlap means pairing, live debugging and same-day review. Partial overlap means your team writes context for tomorrow and reads answers from yesterday, and every round trip costs a day.
How the contract works
You contract with JADEV GROUP SARL, a Belgian company, in euros, under Belgian law. There is no cross-border service import to reconcile, no unfamiliar jurisdiction in your supplier onboarding, and your procurement team reviews the same kind of document it reviews for any EU supplier.
Engagements run monthly with a notice period rather than on a fixed multi-year term. If the fit is wrong, you should be able to say so without a legal exercise.
Security and access
Our practices follow ISO/IEC 27001 principles with a documented roadmap toward certification, currently mapped against CyberFundamentals from the Belgian Centre for Cybersecurity. We are not certified today and we will not tell you otherwise. The Stage 2 audit is planned with a BELAC-accredited body in 2027.
What is already in place: encrypted disks, enforced multi-factor authentication, named accounts with scoped permissions, access review at project close, and client notification within 24 hours of a suspected breach affecting the project.
Where it matters, our engineers work inside your environment on your infrastructure, so code and data stay under your control and your logging. That is usually a better answer to a security review than any certificate we could hand you.
Seniority is assessed on delivery history, not on years served. A confirmed engineer here is someone who has owned a production system through an incident, not someone who has been employed for five years.

Questions buyers actually ask
- How fast can someone start?
- Two weeks from a signed engagement is the realistic floor, and that assumes the profile matches someone available. Anyone promising you a senior engineer on Monday is either benching people at your expense or sending whoever is free.
- What happens if the engineer is not a fit?
- Tell us in the first month and we replace the profile at our cost. A bad fit found in week three is a scoping failure on our side, not something you should pay to unwind.
- Do we manage them directly?
- Yes. They report into your tech lead for day-to-day work. We stay responsible for the employment relationship, the performance conversation and the replacement if one is needed.
- What does it cost?
- Rates depend on seniority and specialty, and quoting a number without knowing the work is how estimates become wrong. Describe the role at the quote page and you get a line-by-line figure with a real start date in minutes.
- Can they work inside our infrastructure?
- Yes, and for regulated clients it is usually the right answer. Named accounts on your tenant, your VPN, your logging, your access review. Nothing leaves your environment.
- What languages does the team work in?
- French and English day to day, Arabic where the client needs it. Written and spoken. For French-speaking clients this removes a friction that English-only delivery teams cannot.
Describe the role, get a real number
Tell the scoping assistant what you need covered and at what seniority. It asks the questions a senior engineer would ask, then returns a line-by-line estimate with an earliest start date. A human reviews every formal quotation before it is sent.
