Staff Engineer engagement: senior support in your team
I join your team, design and ship with it, and help the developers grow along the way. By the end of the engagement, the team is more autonomous than at the start.
Warning signs
- The team lacks a senior profile to settle architecture choices
- A critical project is coming: rewrite, migration, scaling
- Hiring a senior takes months
- You want the team to adopt AI without losing quality
How it works
Immersion
The first weeks: understand the product, the code and the team, and ship a first result quickly.
Design and delivery
I design and ship with the team, documenting decisions (C4, ADR).
Upskilling
Pair programming, reviews, delivery practices and use of AI.
Handover
The team takes over: decisions documented, practices in place.
In practice
- Cloud-native architecture, DDD, event-driven systems
- Delivery practices: testing, continuous integration and deployment
- AI in the product and in the way the team develops
- A more autonomous team at the end of the engagement
Before we talk
On site or remote?
In Lille, Paris and Brussels: hybrid, on site for key moments and remote the rest of the time. Elsewhere: remote, with occasional travel.
Full time?
The pace is up for discussion: continuous, full or part time depending on the need.
What about after the engagement?
The team keeps the documented decisions and the practices in place; it doesn't need me to carry on.
