Backbase, Adobe and Salesforce certified specialists embedded directly into your delivery team; on demand, at scale, without the overhead of permanent hiring.
When you need to scale your platform capability fast, the traditional options don't work. Recruiting takes months and leaves you with permanent headcount. Large SIs give you bodies, not specialists. Finative's team extension service gives you platform-certified engineers; PMs, architects, developers and QA specialists, embedded in your team within weeks, working in your tools and your timezone.
Getting the right engineer into your team quickly and smoothly is what matters. Here's how Finative makes it happen.
Platform, role type, seniority level and start date. The more specific, the better — but we can help you scope it if you're unsure.
Within a few days we put forward engineers from our certified pool whose experience matches your platform and domain requirements.
A short technical conversation to confirm fit — you choose who joins your team, not us.
Your new engineer is set up in Jira, GitHub, Slack and your working practices before their first day — no ramp-up delay.
A Finative account lead stays close throughout — your point of contact for any changes, additions or issues.

Finative's team extension service works in two engagement models — choose the one that fits your programme structure and working style.
A fully committed team of Finative engineers working exclusively on your programme — as an extension of your in-house team. The same people, every day, with full context of your platform and your delivery history.
Best for: long-term programmes, platform ownership, ongoing feature delivery, managed services and situations where deep institutional knowledge matters.
A combination of onshore and offshore resources — senior delivery leadership and specialist architects in your region, with engineering capacity from Finative's Vietnam hub. Optimised for cost without sacrificing senior oversight.
Best for: complex programmes needing senior onshore presence, clients entering new markets, or engagements requiring regulatory or client-facing interaction in-country.
A bank in Vietnam needed a specialist Backbase team to deliver a complete digital onboarding platform in six months. Finative embedded the right engineers from day one.
A Vietnamese bank needed certified Backbase engineers embedded into their programme team to deliver a full digital onboarding platform — covering current account, savings and loan onboarding journeys — within a six-month window. Finative placed a dedicated team of Backbase specialists who worked directly inside the bank's delivery structure from kick-off to go-live.
Most "staff augmentation" gives you bodies. Finative gives you platform-certified specialists with banking and commerce domain knowledge — people who can contribute to your programme from week one, not month three.
And because our engineers are based in Vietnam, you get that level of specialist capability at ~40% lower cost than hiring permanent employees or using Western-only contracting firms.
Every engineer is certified on their platform. No ramp-up time spent learning the basics on your programme.
Significantly faster than a traditional recruitment process. We match engineers to your requirements and get them onboarded quickly.
Vietnam-based engineers at Western quality — without the recruitment overhead, employer taxes or permanent headcount commitment of direct hiring.
Jira, Confluence, GitHub, Slack — Finative engineers plug into your existing processes and ceremonies without friction.
Our engineers understand banking and commerce — not just code. They ask the right questions and make the right decisions without constant hand-holding.
Add engineers as the programme demands increase, reduce when it quietens. No redundancy costs, no notice periods — genuine flexibility.

For Backbase roles — our deepest bench — we can typically shortlist within a few days and place engineers within two to three weeks from initial brief. Adobe and Salesforce placements follow a similar timeline. For very senior or highly specialised roles it can take a week or two longer. We'll tell you upfront if a request is likely to take more time.
Yes, always. Finative shortlists engineers whose experience matches your requirements, and you meet them before any placement is confirmed. You choose who joins your team — we don't make that decision for you.
Our primary bench is Backbase — where we have 100+ certified engineers across PMs, architects, business analysts, backend, frontend, mobile, QA and DevOps. We also have certified Adobe (AEM, Commerce, AEP, AJO) and Salesforce (SFCC, Revenue Cloud, FSC, Marketing Cloud) engineers available. See the Roles We Provide section for the full list.
Finative engineers work in your tools — Jira, Confluence, GitHub, Slack or whatever you use. They join your ceremonies, follow your working practices and report into your delivery structure. The goal is seamless integration, not a separate offshore track running in parallel.
We're flexible — we can support short-term placements for specific delivery phases as well as long-term team extension for ongoing platform ownership. That said, very short engagements (under six weeks) are harder to make work well because of the onboarding overhead. We'll give you an honest view on whether your timeline is viable during the initial conversation.
It's rare, but it happens. If a placement isn't working — for technical or team fit reasons — we address it quickly. Your Finative account lead is your direct point of contact throughout the engagement, and we'll work with you to resolve any issues or make a change if needed.
Team extension is priced on a day rate or monthly retainer basis depending on engagement length and model. Our Vietnam-based delivery means rates are significantly lower than equivalent Western contractors or SI firms — typically around 40% lower — while maintaining the same certification and domain knowledge levels. We'll send you a clear rate card as part of the initial scoping conversation.
Share your platform, the roles you need and your timeline. We'll match you with the right engineers and get back to you — usually within 24 hours.
