Engineer placement

Senior software engineers, embedded in your team

Senior engineers who join your team, work in your time zone, and start contributing in weeks, not quarters.

Hiring a good engineer the traditional way takes months, and you only find out if it worked after the offer is signed. Our placement service is built for the opposite situation: you need a strong person now, and you want to know they're right before you commit.

We introduce you to senior engineers who have already been through a multi-stage technical assessment. They are based in the United States or Canada, so they work your hours, join your standups and talk to your team like any other colleague.

What you get

What working with us looks like

A short list, not a pile of résumés

After an intake call about your stack, team and timeline, you receive a small set of profiles that match what you described.

Engineers vetted before you meet them

Every engineer has completed system design, coding and reference checks. Your interview time goes toward fit, not basic screening.

Flexible ways to engage

From around 20 hours a week for a sprint to a full-time embedded engineer. Hourly, monthly or project-based, whichever suits the work.

Someone who stays close

We check in after the start date and stay involved, so small issues get raised early rather than discovered in month three.

Questions

Engineer placement: common questions

How fast can an engineer start?

Most clients receive pre-screened profiles soon after the intake call and can begin interviews the same week. Start dates then depend on your interview process and the engineer's availability.

Can we start part-time and increase hours later?

Yes. Many engagements begin at around 20 hours a week and grow as the work does. We agree the structure up front so changing it later is simple.

Are the engineers employees or contractors?

We handle the contracts and administration so you don't have to. We'll walk you through exactly how the engagement is structured for your situation during the intake call.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No long-term commitment is required. You choose the term that fits the work.
