IT Staff Augmentation From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP provides staff augmentation for software teams in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics and the rest of Europe. A remote developer, or several, sits in your team full time and works your sprint in your tools, with 5 to 7 hours (UK 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM BST, Central Europe 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CEST) of live overlap for standups, pairing and code review. Every piece of their work is checked and tested by a senior Empiric Infotech team lead. The European comparison is what makes the model useful. A permanent hire brings employer National Insurance in the UK or social contributions on the continent, pension and holiday obligations, and notice periods of one to three months on both sides. In Germany, the Netherlands and France a works council can have a say in hiring, and the EU Pay Transparency Directive, due in national law from June 2026, requires employers to tell applicants the starting pay or pay range before the interview. A UK contractor who works through their own limited company brings an IR35 status determination for medium and large clients. Our developers are salaried Empiric Infotech employees, so you sign one services agreement and a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data and the UK Addendum for UK data, and pay one invoice in EUR with reverse-charge VAT. MarketPlace Monitor, a UK subscription app, has been updated by a four-developer team since June 2024.
What staff augmentation from Empiric Infotech gives a UK or European team
A developer who works like a colleague in your office, with employment, data protection and review covered.
A colleague for most of your working day
With 5 to 7 shared hours your developer joins the standup, pairs on a tricky change, reviews pull requests and fixes a production issue the day it is reported. Most UK and European teams run the developer exactly as they run their in-house engineers.
Employment on our side
Your developer is a salaried Empiric Infotech employee. Salary, leave, cover and equipment are ours to manage, so employer National Insurance or social contributions, auto-enrolment pensions and statutory notice stay off your books.
GDPR covered before any access
A DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses is signed before your developer sees personal data, with the UK Addendum covering UK data, and we act as your processor. Access runs through your SSO with least privilege, personal data stays in your EU or UK cloud region, and test data stands in for real records wherever it can.
The roles European teams add
React and Next.js frontend developers, Node.js and Python backend developers, full-stack developers, mobile developers working in Flutter and FlutterFlow, DevOps and cloud engineers, engineers for AI and machine learning, and UI/UX designers who work in your Figma files.
Review by a senior team lead
A senior Empiric Infotech team lead reviews and tests every delivery before it reaches your own review, so your senior engineers spend their time on design decisions rather than on catching basics. Testing is part of that lead's role, never a separate seat.
Scaling without a consultation process
Take on an extra developer within 48 hours when a deadline lands, and let one go with seven days' notice once it has passed. Reshaping an in-house team in Europe can mean consultation and long notice; changing capacity here takes a week's notice.
Benefits of IT Staff Augmentation with Empiric Infotech LLP
Hire Dedicated Developer
Hire Dedicated Team
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 a UK or European staff augmentation engagement starts
A developer in your standup within the first week, with the data protection paperwork signed first.
A call in your working day
Thirty minutes in your morning or early afternoon, UK or Central European time. You explain the open role, your stack and the seniority you need, how the team works day to day and what the developer should own first.
A developer and a DPA
Within 24 hours you receive a written proposal for the role and meet one developer who matches it, and you interview them. The NDA, the IP assignment and a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses, plus the UK Addendum for UK clients, are signed before access is granted.
A 7-day risk-free trial
Accounts and a working setup inside 48 hours, live standups from the first day, and a first pull request merged in week one. A different developer at no cost, or a full refund, if the fit is wrong.
Monthly, invoiced in EUR
One invoice a month in EUR with reverse-charge VAT, paid by SEPA, wire or card. Add developers when the work grows and stop with seven days' notice.
Staff augmentation pricing for UK and European companies
Monthly or hourly, both invoiced in EUR with reverse-charge VAT, and in either case a senior team lead checks and tests everything your developer delivers. Monthly is 160 to 172 hours of full-time work in your team, billed upfront. Hourly fits a defined task, such as a migration or a performance fix. No placement fee, no recruitment fee and no margin on top of a contractor'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
Your first 90 days with a developer in a UK or European team
With most of the working day shared, the first quarter looks a lot like onboarding a new colleague.
- Week 1
A signed DPA, access and a first merged change
The DPA is signed, access is set up through your SSO, your developer joins standups live and a first pull request is reviewed by our team lead and your engineers before it is merged. The trial decision comes on day 7.
- Month 1
Working at full pace
Tickets picked up and finished at a steady pace, live pairing where it helps, and changes that pass through your existing review and release steps without any adjustment on your side.
- Month 2
Owning part of the roadmap
Your developer owns a feature area end to end, takes part in planning and raises risks early. Teams with a growing backlog usually add a second developer around now.
- Month 3
A settled member of the team
By month three your developer knows the domain and the codebase well enough to shape the work. You review capacity month by month instead of renegotiating a contract.

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 UK and European teams choose staff augmentation from Empiric Infotech
Adding a senior developer in London, Dublin, Berlin, Amsterdam or Stockholm takes months, and the cost goes well beyond salary: employer contributions, pension, holiday and a notice period on both sides. Contract developers solve the speed but bring their own paperwork, from IR35 status determinations in the UK to day rates with an agency margin on top.
Staff augmentation from Empiric Infotech sits between the two. The developer is our salaried employee and spends 160 to 172 hours a month on your team alone, overlapping 5 to 7 hours of your day and working inside your process, with a senior team lead checking their output. Data protection is part of the setup: a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK Addendum when UK data is involved), access through your SSO and personal data that stays in your EU or UK region.
MarketPlace Monitor shows the model at team scale: four Empiric Infotech developers have kept a UK subscription app moving since June 2024. BPM, a B2B procurement platform in Germany, was built by a single dedicated developer. Everything written belongs to you from the first commit, the first week is a 7-day risk-free trial, and seven days' notice is all it takes to stop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Bringing developers from an outside company into your team for as many months as the work needs, while your own leads run it. Empiric Infotech provides staff augmentation for UK and European companies as a dedicated-developer engagement: a remote developer works full time and only on your team, in your tools and your working day, with a senior team lead reviewing what they ship.
Each developer costs a flat monthly fee, invoiced in EUR, for a full working month of 160 to 172 hours; defined pieces of work can be billed hourly instead. Current rates are in the pricing section above. There is no placement fee, and employer contributions, pension and notice periods stay off your books.
Employees. Each developer is a salaried, full-time Empiric Infotech employee and never a subcontractor, so the developer you interview is the one who joins your team. Developers who are job hunting can reach us through the careers form on our contact page.
IR35 is aimed at contractors who work through their own limited company. Our developers are salaried employees of Empiric Infotech, so you are buying a service from a company under one agreement, with no contractor status determination in the chain. Your accountant can confirm how this fits your own setup.
5 to 7 hours (UK 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM BST, Central Europe 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CEST), one hour less in winter. The project manager is available for your whole working day.
Yes. A DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses for EU transfers and the UK Addendum for UK transfers is signed before your developer gets access, and we act as your processor. Personal data stays in your systems and in the EU or UK region you choose.

Within 48 hours of sign-off, where a permanent hire often comes with a notice period of one to three months. You get an introduction to one developer within 24 hours of the first call and interview them before they start.
Entirely yours. The NDA and IP assignment come first, before any work, and everything your developer writes lives in your GitHub or GitLab organisation from the first commit.
