UX/UI staff augmentation services allow you to scale your product, design, and engineering teams quickly without the delays, risks, or overhead of traditional hiring.
At WANDR, we provide senior-level UX designers, UI designers, UX researchers, service designers, and UX/UI developers who integrate directly into your existing team and deliver from day one.
Whether you need short-term execution support or a long-term extension of your product organization, our UX/UI staff augmentation model is built for speed, quality, and flexibility.
UX/UI staff augmentation is an engagement model where experienced UX, UI, and product professionals join your existing team as embedded contributors.
Unlike outsourcing, augmented team members work inside your tools, processes, and delivery cadence. Unlike full-time hiring, staff augmentation does not require long-term commitments, internal overhead, or extended ramp-up periods.
At its core, UX/UI staff augmentation is about extending your team’s capacity and capability without changing how you build products.
UX/UI staff augmentation is not always the answer, but it’s the right choice in specific situations.
It makes sense when:
In these scenarios, staff augmentation lets you keep momentum. Instead of pausing delivery to recruit, you continue building with experienced professionals who already know how to operate inside modern product teams.
Hiring full-time talent is expensive, slow, and often risky, especially when timelines are tight and priorities shift fast. Staff augmentation gives companies the flexibility to scale expertise exactly when and where it’s needed, without compromising quality or momentum.
At Wandr, we approach staff augmentation as strategic capacity building, not temporary staffing. Our embedded teams integrate seamlessly with your organization, helping you move faster, reduce risk, and deliver better products.
1. Faster Execution, No Long-Term Overhead - Hiring takes months. Product timelines don’t. Staff augmentation lets you add senior talent immediately, hit deadlines, and move faster without expanding permanent headcount.
2. Specialized Expertise, On Demand - Not every challenge needs a full-time hire but it does need the right experience. You get access to senior UX, UI, product, and engineering talent matched to your exact needs, from day one.
3. Reduced Risk, Greater Flexibility - Roadmaps change. Markets shift. Staff augmentation allows you to scale up or down quickly, test initiatives safely, and adapt without restructuring or layoffs.
4. Seamless Team Integration - Our teams embed directly into your workflows, tools, and culture. No silos or no handoffs. You get aligned execution and shared ownership.
5. Cost-Efficient Growth - Bad hires and burnout are expensive. Staff augmentation optimizes spend by paying for impact, reducing rework, and protecting internal teams from overload.
6. A Smarter Alternative to Outsourcing - You keep strategy, knowledge, and decision-making in-house. That means full visibility, stronger alignment, and long-term capability.
We augment product teams with senior-level professionals who operate as a true extension of your team.
1. UX/UI Designers - Product design, interaction design, visual systems, high-fidelity execution
2. UX Researchers - Discovery research, usability testing, synthesis, insight generation
3. Service Designers - Complex systems, journeys, and cross-team orchestration
4. Product Design Leads - Design strategy, quality control, mentorship, stakeholder alignment
5. UX/UI Developers - Implementation of design systems across all devices and tech stacks
Each resource is selected based on your product maturity, domain, team structure, and technical requirements — not availability.
1. Discovery - We understand your product goals, team structure and current gaps.
2. Fast Talent Matching (72 Hours) - You define the role requirements: seniority, stack, product background, and industry fit. We match you with vetted UX/UI professionals within 72 hours, guaranteed.
3. Embedded Team Integration - Our augmented team members work inside your existing workflows and tools to collaborate with your stakeholders as if they were in-house.
3. Ongoing Leadership Oversight (no additional cost) - Every designer or developer is supported by WANDR’s senior leadership team, including:
4. Flexible Scaling - Scale your UX/UI staff augmentation up or down as priorities shift without renegotiating contracts or restarting recruitment cycles.
