Frequently asked

The detail behind
the engagement.

Both place Wistkey engineers inside your team under your direction. Staff augmentation adds flexible headcount to your existing project; secondment assigns named engineers to your organisation for a defined period. PM support is included in both.

Engineers are matched to your tech stack and process and typically onboard within days, not months, drawing on a bench of 127 backend, frontend, mobile, QA, DevOps and data specialists.

Wistkey is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with the majority of its client base in Hong Kong. We offer staff secondment and augmentation across both the UK and Hong Kong, with additional teams in Shenzhen and Makati.

Engagements run on a one-month minimum, after which you can scale headcount up or down month to month. A 7–14 day replacement window is available by contract to keep delivery stable.

We partner with system integrators and startups that need to scale engineering capacity quickly, having served 120+ clients over 10 years of enterprise delivery.

With staff augmentation, our developers work inside your team under your direction, so you keep control of the roadmap. With project outsourcing, Wistkey takes an entire scope of work and owns delivery end to end. Augmentation is usually the fastest way to add capacity while staying in control.

Pricing is a transparent monthly rate per engineer based on role and seniority, with no recruitment fees, benefits overhead or long lock-in. You scale headcount up or down month to month, so cost tracks the work. Contact us for a quote against your stack and team size.

Backend (Java / Spring Boot, Node.js, .NET, PHP, Python), frontend (React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, TypeScript) and mobile (React Native, Flutter, native iOS & Android), plus QA, DevOps (AWS, Azure, Docker, CI/CD), data (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and AI (LLM integration, RAG, computer vision) engineers — along with project managers and solution architects. We match engineers to your existing stack.

Yes — that flexibility is the point. Add engineers as a project ramps and reduce headcount when it winds down, adjusting month to month rather than carrying permanent cost.

Both. You can take individual engineers to extend your existing team, or a long-term dedicated team built exclusively for you and embedded in your process and culture. A project manager is included on every engagement.

A 7–14 day engineer replacement window is available by contract, so if someone is not the right fit we swap them in without disrupting delivery.
