Hands-on Engineering Support

Fractional Software Engineer

Add experienced software engineering capacity when you need senior hands-on help, without committing to a full-time hire.

From $3,500 / month
Where it helps

Senior engineering support for the work that is difficult to leave waiting.

A fractional engagement can provide practical delivery capacity, technical judgement and mentoring when your team has a capability gap, a difficult integration, a modernisation task or a backlog item that needs experienced ownership.

Typical support

  • Software design and development
  • .NET and Azure engineering
  • API and systems integration
  • Cloud and serverless implementation
  • Technical debt and modernisation work
  • Code and architecture reviews

How it works

  • Agreed monthly engineering capacity
  • Clear priorities and deliverables
  • Works alongside your existing team
  • Architecture guidance when needed
  • Knowledge transfer and mentoring
  • Flexible cadence as priorities change

Who it is for

Small and growing businesses that need experienced software engineering capability but do not yet need, or cannot justify, another full-time senior engineer.

What success looks like

Important engineering work moves forward, difficult technical decisions are resolved earlier and your internal team gains capability rather than becoming dependent on an external developer.

Waymaker approach

Hands-on delivery with senior technical judgement.

01 · Prioritise

Start with the highest-value work.

Agree what needs experienced attention now and what can remain with the existing team.

02 · Deliver

Work directly in the solution.

Design, build, integrate and review with the same emphasis on maintainability and business outcomes.

03 · Enable

Transfer knowledge.

Document decisions, mentor team members and leave the engineering capability stronger.
