What time zones do you cover?

We structure overlap with your core hours—typically several hours of real-time collaboration daily for most engagements, with async updates to cover the rest.

How quickly can engineers start?

For common stacks, often within two to four weeks after contract and access. Niche skills or clearance-heavy environments may take longer—we are upfront in discovery.

Who manages the Torq engineers day to day?

You prioritise the backlog; a Torq lead handles craft quality, resourcing, and escalation. For augmentation, your tech lead remains the final authority on architecture decisions unless we agree otherwise.

What if we need to scale down?

Retainer agreements include notice periods. We plan knowledge transfer so you are not locked in—clean handover is part of professional delivery.

Remote IT teams that feel embedded—not outsourced

Capacity should not mean chaos. We place senior engineers who adopt your rituals, code standards, and security practices—so you scale delivery without a second shadow engineering culture.

01 · SECTION

Staff augmentation vs dedicated squad

Augmentation adds capacity to an existing team with your tech lead driving priorities. A dedicated squad owns a roadmap slice end-to-end with a Torq lead—better when you need throughput but lack local management bandwidth. We help pick the model that matches your governance maturity.

02 · SECTION

Onboarding that pays off in two weeks

We use a standard playbook: repo access, environment parity, coding guidelines, incident and deploy procedures, and a small first ticket to prove the loop. Knowledge transfer is documented, not tribal.

03 · SECTION

Quality and security expectations

We enforce code review, automated tests where appropriate, and least-privilege access to your systems. For regulated clients we align on device policies, VPN usage, and audit trails.

04 · SECTION

Commercial models

Monthly retainers with clear FTE equivalents are most common. We avoid open-ended “time and materials forever” without milestones—both sides deserve predictable outcomes.
