Work with your engineers. Not around them.
Our approach starts with your engineering operating model. Roles, responsibilities, expectations, security controls, and collaboration are clarified before onboarding.
Start a conversationA deliberate approach to hiring.
Not a black-box shortlist. A practical sequence from your technical challenge to your extended team.
Technical discovery
Align on the business outcome, system boundaries, work to be owned, and what a successful first 30–90 days would look like.
OUTPUT: ROLE BRIEF & OUTCOME DEFINITIONRole design and sourcing
Establish seniority, relevant tools, communication needs, geographic constraints, and role-specific technical evaluation criteria.
OUTPUT: MATCH CRITERIA & CANDIDATE PLANTechnical validation
Use scenario-based assessment to check architecture judgment, debugging, reliability, practical communication, and role fit.
OUTPUT: EVALUATION & CLIENT INTERVIEWSEmbedded onboarding
Document the commercial arrangement and set up access, security policies, sprint rituals, code review, and delivery checkpoints.
OUTPUT: SHARED WORKING AGREEMENTWho owns what?
Know before you start.
The customer controls the product. Commercial and workforce responsibilities follow the signed engagement, not assumptions.
See engagement modelsArchitecture decisions, product backlog, acceptance criteria, code review, and prioritization.
Sourcing coordination and the administrative or workforce services defined in the agreement.
Onboarding, communication expectations, feedback, escalation, and collaboration safeguards.
Good processes start with clear answers.
Who manages day-to-day engineering work?+
In an embedded engagement, the client engineering lead owns priorities, reviews, and the technical roadmap. Axie and the client document any additional support responsibilities in the agreement.
Can we interview candidates before selecting someone?+
Candidate selection and client interview expectations are discussed during the role-scoping process. The goal is to validate both technical fit and working style.
What happens if our priorities change?+
Change management depends on the agreed engagement terms. Discuss material scope changes, role seniority, working hours, and offboarding explicitly before work begins.
Is intellectual property ownership covered?+
IP assignment, confidentiality, data handling, and access obligations should be documented in the signed commercial agreement, subject to legal review.
