The New Standard in
Staff Augmentation
Staff Augmentation With Zero Turnover.
Yellowstone Labs provides US tech leaders with single developers or dedicated pods from our 15-year, zero-turnover team. We eliminate the hidden costs of attrition so you can focus on building momentum and shipping product, not managing turnover.
Build Your TeamTired of the "Revolving Door"?
The traditional, low-rate outsourcing model is broken. High attrition creates a cascade of hidden costs that kill your momentum.
Constant Re-onboarding
Wasting your managers' and senior devs' valuable time repeatedly explaining your architecture and business logic to your vendor's latest replacement.
Critical Knowledge Loss
When a developer leaves, they take irreplaceable, project-specific expertise with them, crippling momentum.
The "Bait-and-Switch"
You were sold an "A-Team" during the pitch, only to be handed a "C-Team" that requires constant hand-holding and delivers inconsistent quality.
0% Turnover
in 15 Years.
That's our unbreakable statistic. Every developer who has joined our team is still with us today. We are a boutique firm built on a culture of effective management and team development.
For you, this means unparalleled stability, deep expertise, and predictable project continuity. The developer (or pod) you onboard is the one who finishes the project.
Our Process: The Expert Match
We save you time. Instead of making you interview candidates, we leverage our deep, 15-year knowledge of our team to find you the perfect match.
1. Project Deep Dive
You meet with our CTO. We learn your tech stack, project goals, and team dynamics.
2. The Expert Match
We use our deep insight to assign the ideal individual developer or construct the perfect "pod" (e.g., 1 Senior, 2 Mid-Level) for your specific challenge.
3. Seamless Integration
Your new team member(s) integrate directly into your tools (Slack, Jira, GitHub, etc.), adopt your workflows, and deliver value from day one.
Smart Value.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership.
We are not the cheapest option, and we don't want to be. Our model is about providing superior value and a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Our developers are more skilled and stable at every level. By eliminating the costs of re-onboarding, project delays, and rework, our model is more cost-effective than any low-rate mill. Get senior-level talent for 50-70% less than the cost of a comparable US-based developer.

The Risk-Reversal Pilot
Start with a 2-4 week paid pilot. We use our Expert Match process to assign a developer or pod to a high-impact project.
If you are not 100% satisfied with their performance, communication, or integration, we will not issue the final 50% invoice.

The developer(s) we match to your project are committed for the long term. We guarantee the developer who starts your project will be the one who finishes it.
In the unprecedented event of a life circumstance (e.g., severe illness), we will provide a replacement, fully onboarded on our time, at no cost to you for the first 15 days.
The Yellowstone Labs Difference
Unmatched Team Stability
The Proof: We have zero developer turnover in 15 years.
The Advantage: While competitors struggle with 20%+ attrition, our model guarantees project continuity. The developer who builds your feature is the one who will support it, building deep, irreplaceable expertise in your codebase.
Vetted Talent at Every Level
The Proof: 15 years of zero turnover gives us a deep, long-term understanding of each developer's specific strengths, from junior to senior.
The Advantage: We solve the "bait-and-switch" by replacing client interviews with our "Expert Match" process. We assign the ideal engineer (or pod) for your needs, ensuring you get a proven, high-quality team ready for autonomous work.
A True Integration Partnership
The Proof: As a boutique firm, our business model is built for deep integration, not high-volume transactions.
The Advantage: Our developers become a true extension of your team. They adopt your tools (like Slack, Jira and GitHub), and workflows, eliminating the communication barriers common to large outsourcing firms.
