FAQs
Questions about hiring engineers.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and dedicated developers?
With staff augmentation, individual engineers join your existing team and you direct their work. With dedicated developers, Softrious provides a complete team plus delivery management that works exclusively on your product, so you set direction while we run delivery.
What is a Forward Deployed Engineer?
A Forward Deployed Engineer is a senior engineer who works directly with the business teams or customers who have the problem, rather than from a ticket queue. They discover the workflow first-hand, then build and deploy the solution—often combining custom software, integrations, and AI.
Can Forward Deployed Engineers handle support and maintenance?
Yes. Because FDEs work directly with your team and know your systems, they’re well placed to monitor, fix, update, and improve software after launch. See our Support & Maintenance service for what’s covered.
Can we interview engineers before they start?
Yes. You review profiles and interview proposed engineers before any engagement begins, and the team can be adjusted as your needs change.
Can we switch models later?
Yes. Many teams start with a Forward Deployed Engineer or staff augmentation and move to a dedicated team as the product grows. We review fit regularly and recommend changes when they make sense.
