Technology partnership

Your technology leadership and workforce, on demand.

Fractional CTO direction and senior engineers embedded in your team, every one of them a permanent STEPS employee

Direction. Capacity. Or both.

Sometimes what’s missing isn’t a supplier it’s a decider: someone senior enough to set the technology direction and be accountable for it. Sometimes it’s delivery capacity: senior hands that ship. Often it’s both, at different moments. This pillar gives you either or both without the hiring cycle.

Our services

Two services, one bench.

The same senior bench powers both what changes is who leads.

CTO AS A SERVICE

Technology leadership without the executive hire: a senior technologist who sets the strategy, reviews the architecture, structures the team and answers to your leadership. Three engagement models

STAFF AUGMENTATION

Senior, production-ready engineers frontend, backend, QA, DevOps, data integrated into your rituals, your tools and your codebase. Selected for the mission, backed by the guarantees above, productive from the first sprint.

THE HANDOVER

WHAT WE DESIGN, OUR ENGINEERS BUILD

The difference between a design studio and us: the makers sit at the next desk.

Dev-ready by construction.

Tokens, specs and components documented as engineers need them, not as decoration.

Shared design system

One source of truth from Figma to production, maintained on both sides.

Same company, same accountability

No agency-to-developer translation loss, no « that’s not what we meant ».

WHICH MODEL FITS

What do you need most?

Three answers, three doors. Every engagement starts with this conversation here's how it usually goes.

Scoping session · minute 1

YOU

A · Direction

« We need someone to set the direction. »

CTO as a service

Then you don't need a supplier, you need a fractional or interim CTO: strategy, architecture reviews, team structuring. Accountable to your leadership.

YOU

B · Capacity

« No, we know where we're going. We need senior hands to deliver. »

Staff augmentation

Staff augmentation, then: senior engineers embedded in your team, your rituals and your codebase, in weeks, not months. You interview them first.

YOU

C · Both, or not sure

« Both, probably, or honestly, we're not sure. »

The most common answer

That's exactly what the scoping session is for.

60 minutes to frame it. The written assessment — in 5 days — recommends the model that fits, not the one that bills most. Zero commitment.

Why steps

The differences you'll feel from the first sprint

PEOPLE WHO STAY.

Permanent employees and 80% client retention mean the same faces sprint after sprint knowledge compounds instead of walking out the door.

YOUR TIMEZONE, YOUR LANGUAGES.

GMT+1, aligned with Europe. French, English and Arabic spoken, written, and in the documentation.

A COMPANY BEHIND EACH ENGINEER.

Every profile carries our engineering standards code review, tests, security and can pull on 30+ colleagues when a question exceeds one person.

REVERSIBLE BY DESIGN.

Trial, replacement, monthly models: the exit is always defined. Which is exactly why our clients almost never use it.

THE BENCH

One team behind both.

Whoever leads, the people are the same: permanent STEPS engineers, hired, trained and managed in-house. The fractional CTO sets the direction; the engineers embedded in your sprints are drawn from the same bench. No brokers, no marketplace.
