Dedicated U.S.-based engineers, embedded into your team

Frequently asked questions

How much does a dedicated engineer cost?

A dedicated U.S.-based senior engineer is $16,000/month at a $100/hr blended bill rate, including a shared Delivery Manager and weekly reporting. Two-engineer pods start at $32,000/month; full four-engineer enterprise pods with dedicated QA start at $75,000/month.

Are your engineers actually in the U.S.?

Yes — 100% U.S.-based talent, no offshore substitution. Senior leadership and a meaningful percentage of engineers are in the NYC metro for in-person work. All engagements run on EST business hours by default.

How fast can a dedicated team ramp up?

Most engagements are onboarded within 7-14 days of contract sign. We maintain a pre-vetted bench of 75+ U.S. engineers across full-stack, AI, QA, cloud, and data, so you're not waiting on a recruiter to source new hires.

Can we swap engineers or scale the pod up and down?

Yes. Monthly engagements are flexible — scale up when a release is heavy, scale down between phases, or swap an engineer if the fit isn't right. No custom proposals or long-term lock-ins.

How is a dedicated engineering team different from staff augmentation?

Staff augmentation places individual engineers under your management. Dedicated teams and pods add a shared Delivery Manager or Technical Lead, sprint participation, and reporting — so you get delivery capacity, not just headcount.

Do you sign IP, security, and MSA paperwork before starting?

Yes. We sign MSAs, SOWs, mutual NDAs, and IP assignment before the first engineer is embedded. All work product is yours; our engineers work inside your source control, ticketing, and infrastructure.
