Team extension service

The right profiles, at the right time.

Senior developers, architects and UX designers integrated into your internal teams. Strapi, Medusa, Next.js, Shopify and SEO expertise. 3 to 12-month engagements. Operational seniors available quickly.

Who it's for

Why choose an agency team extension instead of a freelancer or recruitment?

01

Fast mobilization

Recruitment takes 3-6 months. An isolated freelancer takes 2-4 weeks to ramp up on your context. A Smotly senior can start within 7 days, backed by a team.

02

Built-in quality, controlled risk

Our seniors rely on Smotly standards and tooling. Pair programming with our experts, code reviews and proven methodology. Individual risk is shared.

03

Platform and system mastery

Our reinforcements do not discover Strapi or Medusa when they arrive. They have 2-5 years of concrete experience on your stack and know how to fit into a complex information system.

FAQ

Questions we often hear.

A Smotly reinforcement relies on our standards, tooling and experts: pair programming, code reviews and methodology. If an unexpected stop happens, continuity is ensured by another profile. An isolated freelancer does not benefit from that backing.
