Staff augmentation

AI-Native Engineering Talent Into Your Core Squad

Skip the six-month specialized technical recruiting bottleneck. Add senior, AI-native software engineers with full-stack, DevOps, MLOps, and data engineering depth, productive in your codebase from day one, not week six.

AI Team Augmentation

Eliminate the six-month specialized technical recruiting bottleneck

Hiring senior ML engineers, MLOps specialists, or AI infrastructure experts through standard recruiting takes four to six months at minimum, often longer for niche skills. Pento's AI Team Augmentation places vetted, AI-native software engineers directly into your team. They work inside your codebase and CI/CD pipelines, join sprint ceremonies, and ship within the first week.

Complete software engineers who specialize in AI

Every Pento engineer is vetted as a software engineer first, never only a model builder: modern web development standards, fast and reliable production code, and real DevOps, MLOps, and data engineering depth. Deep software fundamentals are what make an engineer genuinely good in their niche. So the same specialist who builds your models also ships through your CI/CD pipelines, holds their own in code review, and ramps in days instead of the weeks that usually stall augmentation engagements.

Workflow

How we onboard and integrate into your team

01

Needs assessment

We start by reviewing your technical needs, current team structure, delivery challenges, and long-term goals.

That tells us which roles, skills, and profiles will deliver value right away.

02

Talent alignment and onboarding plan

Next, we write a clear plan that sets out the roles, responsibilities, communication cadence, and expected contributions.

Your augmented team gets onboarding tailored to your repositories, tools, and workflows.

03

Pilot and integration phase

In the first phase, engineers integrate into your systems, sprint cycles, documentation, and collaboration processes.

Early tasks confirm both technical proficiency and team fit.

04

Ongoing delivery and continuous support

Once integrated, the augmented team works as an extension of your organization.

Pento handles continuous oversight, performance tracking, and fast scaling when you need more capacity.
