Is one engineer right for you?
Four ways to hire, one monthly price, the same vetted engineers. Pick by how much of the running you want to keep.
- A good fit when
- You have a lead or senior engineer who sets the direction
- One skill is missing: a mobile build, a data pipeline, a cloud migration
- Your backlog grows faster than your team
- You want to try remote help before building a team
- Better elsewhere when
- You need a team that runs itselfManaged team →
- You want a fixed scope and priceProject →

Start
We handle contracts and payroll. Your engineer joins your standup.

Works like the rest of your team.
Your engineer joins your repo, chat and standups and takes tickets from your board. You review their pull requests and set priorities, the same as for anyone on the team. We stay in the background: contracts, payroll, equipment and a check-in after week one.
- Overlaps at least 4 hours of your working day
- Uses your tools and your process
- Not the right fit? We replace your engineer at no extra cost. Prefer to start risk-free? Choose two risk-free weeks when you sign.

Plain English is fine. The hiring desk reads your brief and shows matching engineers with their monthly rates. Not this way after all?
