Fix bugs in the backlog
Reproduce reported issues, investigate the cause and submit focused fixes with tests your team can review.
Development Support
Keep your roadmap moving
We take on bug fixes and maintenance in your existing workflow, so your team can focus on building what’s next.
Start with a few days a week. We handle hiring and people management, and your team approves every change.
WHAT WE TAKE ON
Hand over work that keeps getting pushed back
Start with the tickets you already have. We pick them up in your tracker and send focused pull requests for your team to review.
Keep dependencies up to date
Handle routine dependency updates and compatibility fixes so these tasks don’t pile up between releases.
Maintain what’s already live
Take on small refactors, test updates and other upkeep in your existing codebase.
Good fit: You have a clear priority, a codebase someone can get set up in and a technical lead who can review changes.
When to choose a different setup: If nobody can make architecture decisions or review code, you need a technical lead first. For an urgent incident or a major rebuild, discuss a separate scope.
WHO DOES WHAT
You run the product. We manage the people.
Fuserwise
- Source, screen and assess candidates for your stack.
- Handle employment, payroll, HR and compensation, including bonuses where applicable.
- Manage career development, performance feedback and replacement or handover if needed.
- Coordinate agreed working days, availability and absences.
Your team
- Set priorities and agree what each ticket should achieve.
- Provide access, setup instructions and enough context to start.
- Review pull requests and approve merges and releases.
- Set security requirements and decide whether AI tools may be used.
Choose the experience your work needs
Intern
Clearly defined tasks with examples, a narrow scope and close guidance.
Junior developer
Reproducible bug fixes and routine maintenance in an established codebase.
Mid-level developer
More independent investigation of bugs that span components and more involved maintenance.
Where you allow AI tools, the engineer can use them to trace bugs, draft tests and work through routine changes faster. They still check what they submit. Your team reviews the pull request as usual.
HOW IT STARTS
Start with a ticket you can review
Agree what to hand over
Bring a few tickets. We agree which tasks are suitable, how much review they need and what a good handover looks like.
Choose the engineer and schedule
We source and assess candidates. You meet the proposed engineer and agree the reserved days and hours that fit your team.
Start with a small change
Your team provides scoped access, setup instructions and a reviewer. The engineer works in your tracker and submits a first pull request through your usual checks.
Review the fit and adjust
Review how much work moved, how much review it took and what should change. We manage feedback and discuss a different profile or capacity if needed.
DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT + FRACTIONAL QA
Fix and verify bugs in one workflow
Our QA team can verify fixes and check related workflows. If we already handle your QA, we can use your existing process. If you’re starting from scratch, we can scope both together. Your team still approves the code and the release.
CAPACITY AND PRICING
Reserve the days you need
Each reserved day includes 8 hours of work. Recruitment, employment and standard HR are included. We quote any additional engineering support or QA separately.
Capacity planner
Pick an experience level, commitment and weekly schedule.
Interns are available up to 3 days a week. A 12-month engagement is quoted separately. Longer engagements need a separate agreement.
Calculate with confirmed billable days instead
Count days the developer was available as agreed, even if no ticket was assigned. Exclude approved leave, public holidays and other non-billable absences.

Questions to ask before you hand over code
How much time will my team need to spend?
Allow time for setup and code review. Start with a few well-defined tickets and a named reviewer. After the first changes, we’ll check whether the work you handed over is saving your team time and adjust the scope or developer profile if needed.
Who controls our code and releases?
Your team controls repository access, branch protections, merge approval and deployment. The engineer works in your existing tools. We agree what access is needed and how to remove it at handover.
Can the engineer use AI on our code?
Only within the rules you approve. We agree which tools and data are allowed before work starts. The engineer is responsible for reviewing and testing the changes they propose, including any AI-assisted work.
What if the engineer is not the right fit?
Tell us where delivery, quality or communication is falling short. We agree what needs to improve and manage the follow-up. If the issue persists, we discuss a replacement and plan the handover with you.
Can we start part-time or change the schedule?
Yes. We agree the capacity to reserve each quarter and the days your developer will work. Changes to the weekly schedule depend on notice and availability. You can revisit how many days to reserve before the next quarter is confirmed.
How does monthly billing work?
We invoice the days your developer was available as agreed, even if no ticket was assigned. Approved leave, public holidays and other non-billable absences are excluded. Recruitment and standard people administration are included in the day rate. Additional technical support and Fractional QA are agreed separately.
Does a longer commitment change the rate?
Day rates depend on the developer’s experience and the commitment: 1 to 3 months, 4 to 11 months, or 12 months or more. A longer commitment can qualify for a lower day rate from the start. The initial review is a chance to assess the fit and agree improvements. It does not cancel the agreed commitment.
See what you could take off your team’s plate
Bring two or three tickets. We’ll talk through what we can take on, what we’d need from your team and how much time to reserve.
