Developer Incubator
We know getting junior devs into your team and up to speed is difficult. To make it work they need mentorship and support, but the people who can do that are already stretched. It’s a familiar tale that we hear from our industry partners and the reason why we introduced our Developer Incubator.
But what is it?
Supported recruitment
Simply put, we select and hire a team of Junior Software Developers graduating from our award-winning Northcoders bootcamp. Then we match them with a dedicated Northcoders Senior Mentor to create an Incubated Team. The Senior Mentor will provide guidance and support to the team, getting them up to speed on your working style and tech stack, and delivering value fast.
Your Juniors - Up to speed - Fast
Our Senior Mentor will ensure that your Juniors are delivering the business value you need as quickly as possible. Whether that involves upskilling the incubated team in new tech, building a greenfield project or working on your regular tickets, our senior will enable the team to write, production-quality code quickly.
Guaranteed mentoring
It’s aimed at businesses who are looking to hire at least 4 juniors and don’t have the capacity to onboard and support them. Developer Incubator is designed to get your hires self-sufficient, productive and on an accelerated journey to a mid-level developer.
A bespoke solution
Typically, these projects last at least 6 months, but every problem is different and we’ll work with you to create a solution bespoke to you.

We wanted to build a capable software team quickly and have them grow with the business. With the demands on our senior people, we couldn’t realistically get that done in-house as recruitment in a competitive market is incredibly time-and resource-intensive. Northcoders handled all that for us, and the technical mentorship they’re providing to the junior developers has made a huge difference to their trajectory. We were impressed with Northcoders’ speed and responsiveness.
