Government IT staff augmentation
Developers, QA, data and cloud engineers for state and local IT teams, and for the primes that serve them. Matched to your contract and data rules.
Last updated October 18, 2026
Engineering capacity without a long hiring cycle
Public IT teams often have budget for a project but no time to hire for it. Staff augmentation fills the gap for a set term.
Konnex is an offshore talent firm first, so finding and vetting technical people is our core work. We recently placed a remote electrical engineer with a US client in mission-critical infrastructure.
For agency work, we check each role against your contract. Code and test work can run on our hybrid model. Roles that need agency system or data access are staffed in the US where the contract requires it, or we pass.
Roles we supply
Individual engineers or a small pod.
Software developers
- Front-end, back-end and full-stack
QA engineers
- Manual and automated testing
Data analysts and engineers
- Reporting, pipelines and dashboards
Cloud engineers
- Environments and infrastructure as code
Business analysts
- Requirements and user stories
Accessibility specialists

Which work can be offshore
We match each role to your contract and data rules before anyone starts.
| Type of work | Offshore engineer | Condition |

| QA and test automation | Yes | Test environments only |
| Accessibility fixes on public pages | Yes | Public content |

Common questions
For IT directors, CIO offices and procurement. Still unsure? Ask us directly.
What is IT staff augmentation?
Adding skilled IT people to your team for a set term. They work on your priorities, while the provider handles hiring and employment.
Can augmented staff access our systems?
Only where your contract and rules allow it. Roles needing agency system or data access are staffed in the US where required. Offshore engineers never access production systems or agency records.
Do you work under state IT staffing programs?
We can work as a subvendor to primes that hold state or cooperative contracts, where those contracts allow subcontractors.
How fast can someone start?
It depends on the role and your onboarding. We give you a realistic timeline once we see the requirements.
How is pricing set?
Hourly or monthly rates per role, agreed in writing before work starts.
