IT Staff Augmentation From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP provides staff augmentation services to Australian software teams. One developer, or a small group of them, becomes part of your team for the full working month, inside your tools and your sprint: 3.5 hours, 2:00 to 5:30 PM AEST, developers live until midnight AEST, and Perth 12:00 noon to 10:00 PM AWST. A senior team lead at Empiric Infotech reviews and tests what they ship. The Australian comparison explains why teams use it. An employee brings superannuation guarantee contributions, payroll tax once your wages pass your state's threshold, workers' compensation insurance and the National Employment Standards. Since August 2024, whether a contractor is really an employee has been judged on the whole relationship, and an ABN contractor paid mainly for their labour can still be owed super. Labour hire arrangements can attract same job, same pay orders. Our developers are salaried Empiric Infotech employees, so you sign one services agreement with a company and pay one invoice, and AUD invoices are issued without GST (clients self-assess). Acceleread, for an Australian client, was built by a two-developer team.
What staff augmentation services from Empiric Infotech give an Australian team
A developer who works through your afternoon and evening, with employment, privacy and review covered on our side.
A teammate from after lunch to midnight
Your developer joins the afternoon standup on AEST, pairs and answers questions live until 5:30 PM, then keeps working until midnight, so work raised after lunch is usually done before your next morning. Perth teams get live cover from noon to 10:00 PM AWST.
No Australian payroll for you to run
Empiric Infotech employs your developer on a salary. You pay no super, payroll tax or workers' compensation for them, and there is no leave, notice or redundancy to manage under the Fair Work Act. Your side is one monthly invoice in AUD.
Privacy Act-aware access
Access through your SSO with least privilege, personal information kept in your Australian cloud region and test data in place of real records wherever possible. Audit logs help you assess any incident quickly under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and both the NDA and the IP assignment are in place before your developer's first day.
The roles Australian teams add
Full-stack developers for React, Next.js and Node.js, Python backend developers, Flutter and FlutterFlow mobile developers, DevOps engineers for AWS and Azure, machine learning and AI engineers, plus UI/UX designers who join your product rituals.
Review by a senior team lead
A senior Empiric Infotech team lead checks and tests each piece of work before your engineers see it, so your own senior people stop being the first line of quality control. Testing sits inside that role, never as a separate seat.
Capacity without redundancy
Bring in another developer within 48 hours when a release or a client project calls for it, then step back down with seven days' notice, with no redundancy pay or unfair dismissal process to manage.
Security controls your customers ask about
Larger Australian customers and government agencies often ask suppliers about the ACSC's Essential Eight. Your developer works under your controls: multi-factor authentication on every account, no standing admin rights, patched tools and access you can audit, so the answers on your next security questionnaire stay accurate.
Benefits of IT Staff Augmentation with Empiric Infotech LLP
Hire Dedicated Developer

We'll help your business grow with our team of hand-picked tech experts. They're not just anyone - we carefully choose them to fit your specific goals. You'll get a dedicated team that's committed to working with you, using their skills and fresh ideas to help your company succeed.
How an Australian staff augmentation engagement starts
A developer in your afternoon standup within the first week.
A call after lunch on AEST
Thirty minutes in your afternoon, or at noon for Perth teams. Tell us which role is open, the languages and frameworks involved, the level of experience you need, how releases happen today and what the developer should take on first.
One developer within 24 hours
You receive a short written proposal for the role and meet the one developer we think fits it. You interview them before anything starts, and the NDA and IP assignment are signed with the services agreement.
A 7-day risk-free trial
Your developer has accounts and a running setup within two days and merges a first pull request inside the first week. Not the right match? You get a different developer at no cost, or your money back in full.
Monthly, invoiced in AUD
AUD invoices issued without GST (clients self-assess), paid by BPAY, direct EFT or wire. Grow the team when the backlog does, and finish with seven days' notice.
Staff augmentation pricing for Australian companies
Two ways to pay, each invoiced in AUD and each with the same senior team lead checking your developer's work. The monthly plan is 160 to 172 hours of full-time work inside your team, paid at the start of each month. The hourly plan fits a defined task such as an integration or a cloud migration. There is no placement fee, recruitment fee or margin on someone else's day rate.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead, built in
Monthly plan
- A dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive - 160-172 hours a month
- The best value for an ongoing engagement
- Your repo, your cloud account, your tools
- Code review and pre-delivery testing by a senior lead on every release
- 7-day risk-free trial, monthly billing, cancel with 7 days notice
Dedicated team
- A dedicated team - developers plus a senior team lead who reviews and tests every release
- Add a developer (and a designer where the build needs UI/UX work) at the same rate
- Best for long-term, multi-track work; add a developer in 48 hours, no re-contracting
What the first quarter looks like for an Australian team
The usual shape of the first quarter, with live afternoons and finished work waiting each morning.
- Week 1
Access and a first merged pull request
Accounts through your identity provider, a working environment, a seat in your afternoon standup and a first pull request reviewed and merged. Day 7 is the trial decision.
- Month 1
Afternoon briefs, morning results
Your developer picks up tickets without hand-holding. Work briefed in your afternoon is typically ready for review the next morning, and your release process stays exactly as it is. Queensland teams keep the same live window all year, since Brisbane has no daylight saving; for Sydney and Melbourne it moves an hour later during summer time.
- Month 2
Owning a part of the product
By month two your developer looks after a part of the product from start to finish, joins the planning sessions and raises risks early. Teams with more work than people often add a second developer here.
- Month 3
A steady part of the team
Three months in, your developer knows the domain and the quirks of your systems, and capacity becomes a monthly decision rather than a hiring project.

Why Choose Empiric Infotech as Your IT Staff Augmentation Company?
Find out why Empiric Infotech is considered to be one of the top IT staff augmentation companies in the world.
Why Australian teams choose staff augmentation from Empiric Infotech
Senior developers in Sydney and Melbourne are hard to find and slow to hire, and every permanent role adds super, payroll tax, workers' compensation and the National Employment Standards. Payroll tax is set state by state, so a team spread across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland deals with several sets of rules and thresholds. Contractors move faster, but since the 2024 Fair Work changes the whole relationship is judged, and an agency adds its margin to each day.
Staff augmentation from Empiric Infotech gives you the capacity without the employment layer. We employ the developer and you direct them: they work only for your team, 160 to 172 hours a month, inside your process, and a senior team lead checks their work before it reaches you. The hours suit Australia: a live afternoon on AEST, cover until midnight and a noon to 10:00 PM window for Perth.
Acceleread, a speed-reading app for an Australian client, was built by two Empiric Infotech developers and is live on both stores in 24 languages, and a single dedicated developer built Architecture CRM. The code is yours from the first commit, a 7-day risk-free trial covers the first week, and seven days' notice ends the engagement whenever you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Placing developers from an outside company inside your existing team, for months or years, while your own leads decide what they work on. Empiric Infotech provides staff augmentation services to Australian companies as a dedicated-developer engagement: one remote developer, employed by us, works full time for your team alone, and a senior team lead checks and tests what they ship.
Each developer is billed at one flat monthly fee in AUD for a full-time month of 160 to 172 hours, and shorter, defined tasks can be billed by the hour instead. There is no placement fee. You will find current rates in the pricing section above, and super, payroll tax and Fair Work obligations stay off your books.
Employees. All of our developers are full-time Empiric Infotech employees and none are subcontractors, which means the person on your interview call is the person in your standup. If you are a developer looking for work with us, the careers form on our contact page is the place to apply.
No. Empiric Infotech employs and pays your developer, so there is no Australian payroll on your side: no superannuation, payroll tax or workers' compensation, and no Fair Work process if the engagement ends.
3.5 hours, 2:00 to 5:30 PM AEST, and developers live until midnight AEST, so afternoon standups and evening turnaround are routine. Perth teams get 12:00 noon to 10:00 PM AWST, and the project manager is available from noon AEST.
One monthly invoice in AUD, paid by BPAY, direct EFT or wire. Empiric Infotech LLP is established outside Australia, so AUD invoices are issued without GST and clients self-assess.
Yes. Your developer works inside your own systems with least-privilege access, personal information stays in your Australian cloud region, and test data replaces real records wherever possible. That keeps your obligations under the Australian Privacy Principles, including APP 8 on overseas access, straightforward to document.
Within 48 hours of sign-off. We introduce one developer within a day of your first call, you interview them, and they join your afternoon standup the same week. There is no notice period to wait out, unlike a permanent hire who first has to leave their current employer.
You do, completely. Both the NDA and the IP assignment are signed before the first day, and every commit lands in your own repositories and cloud accounts.
Yes. Acceleread, a speed-reading app for an Australian client, was built by a two-developer team, Architecture CRM by a single dedicated developer, and DRT, a fitness app in New Zealand, by three developers. Typical Australian engagements run 6 to 18 months.
