Codalyst Tech
Team extension

Engineers who join your team, not sit beside it.

Codalyst Tech developers join your standups, review your PRs, read your Confluence, and ship to your CI/CD pipeline. Your codebase. Your standards. Our people.

How integration works

What “joining your team” actually means

Day 1: in your repo and tools

Access to your GitHub or GitLab, your CI/CD pipeline, your Jira or Linear, your Slack. First task assigned on day one. No separate offshore setup, no mirrored environment.

Follows your PR standards

Codalyst Tech engineers are briefed on your code style guide, PR review process, and naming conventions before they write a line. They commit to your standards, not ours.

Your ceremonies, your schedule

Daily standup, sprint planning, retrospectives: on your calendar, in your video call. No separate offshore retro. No batch reporting. The same loop your in-house team uses.

Onboarding arc

When companies extend

Common reasons product teams choose team extension

1

We need 6 engineers but only have 3

Your Q3 roadmap is locked. The milestone is real. Doubling your in-house team through recruitment would take 4–6 months and cost more than the feature is worth.

2

We need senior backend but can't justify the salary

A $120K+ senior engineer for a 6-month infrastructure project doesn't make financial sense. A Codalyst Tech senior backend engineer costs a third of that and exits when the work is done.

3

We have a junior team and need senior guidance

You've hired well for cost but the team needs senior expertise to architect key systems. One senior Codalyst Tech engineer on your standups changes the output quality of the whole team.

4

We need specialist frontend for the next 6 months

Performance optimisation, accessibility compliance, complex UI work: specialist skill you don't need permanently but can't ship without. Extend for the window, then scale back.
