Senior engineering without another salary.
You need a hands-on fractional Tech Lead who can make experienced technical decisions and deliver the work, not another seat to supervise. Wanta.dev provides both through a predictable monthly service.
Add senior engineering capability without another full-time salary.
Hiring is slow, and it is a commitment.
Recruitment, notice periods and onboarding can take months before anything ships. A contractor may add capacity sooner, but often still needs someone internal to shape the work and make the difficult decisions.
The gap is not always more hands. It is someone senior enough to challenge assumptions, choose a pragmatic direction and take responsibility for the technical outcome.

One priority.
Finished properly.

Keep the core team focused
Roadmap commitments and production work stay with your team while Wanta.dev owns the neglected priority.
Shape unclear work
We turn an old request, rough ticket or incomplete idea into a clear deliverable before building it.
Carry it through
Definition, implementation, review and release are treated as one piece of work, not handed back halfway through.
Start with the right priority.Leave with a clear next step.
Tell us about your software and the work that needs attention. Together, we’ll identify where to start and whether Wanta.dev is the right fit. You’ll leave with a clear recommendation, whether or not you subscribe.
