Rigorously vetted engineers

Every engineer in our pool has passed a multi-stage technical vetting process: algorithm challenges, system design, and live interviews. You get senior talent, not juniors with inflated titles.

Same timezone as the US

0–4 hours overlap with US timezones. Your new engineer attends standups, responds to Slack, and ships PRs during your core hours. No async-only arrangements.

Up to 40% more cost efficient

LATAM rates are significantly lower than US equivalents at the same seniority level. You get the quality without the premium, and without the 6-month recruiting cycle.

Scale up or down fast

Need two engineers next sprint? Or winding down a project? Our model is built for elasticity: ramp up in days, scale back without termination costs.

Process

How it works

01

Browse the talent pool

Filter by role, location, and skills to see how many engineers match your criteria. Every profile is anonymized until you engage.

02

Book a free 30-min call

We jump on a quick intro call to understand your project, team structure, and ideal profile. No forms, no recruiters. Just us.

03

We confirm availability

We check calendar, rate, and start-date alignment with your shortlisted candidates, so you only meet engineers who are genuinely ready.

04

Your engineer starts

Once you confirm, onboarding moves fast. Most engineers are up and running within 2 weeks. No long-term commitments required.

Questions we hear often

Specific questions? Book a 30-minute discovery call. No commitment, just honest answers.

Get in touch

You tell us your stack, role, and seniority needed. Within 72 hours, we send you 3–5 pre-vetted profiles. You interview directly, pick your engineer, and they can start within 2 weeks. No recruiters, no layers, no noise.

Most clients have their first engineer onboarded within 2 weeks of the intro call. Profile delivery takes 72 hours. Interview and decision usually takes 3–5 days. Then we handle onboarding logistics fast.

Both. Most engineers are available full-time (40 hrs/week), but we also have availability for part-time engagements starting at 20 hrs/week. We'll match you based on your needs.

Our standard minimum is 3 months. This ensures the engineer has enough context to contribute meaningfully. For project-based work or short-term help, reach out; we can discuss options.

Every engineer goes through a technical screening, live coding or architecture review, and an English communication check. We've built the vetting process over years of placing engineers in US-based product teams. You only see profiles that cleared the bar.

We offer a 2-week fit guarantee. If the engineer isn't working out in the first two weeks, we'll replace them at no additional cost. No long conversations, no billing disputes.
