Common questions
What is part-time engineering talent?
Part-time engineering talent works with your startup for a defined number of hours each week. Depending on the problem, that may be a junior, mid-level, senior, or lead developer who helps your team ship features, fix bugs, improve architecture, or clear technical debt without a full-time commitment.
How much does it cost?
Our part-time packages are $3K/month for 4-hour medior coverage, $5K/month for 4-hour senior coverage, $4.2K/month for 6-hour medior coverage, and $7K/month for 6-hour senior coverage. We can also shape a custom package around your budget and needs.
Where are your engineers located and when do they work?
Our engineering talent is primarily based in Southeast Asia. The network includes people with experience at unicorn and decacorn companies, as well as engineers who have shipped products at early-stage startups. Backgrounds vary by person, and we introduce each candidate's experience directly during the interview. Working hours can flex between 8AM and 10PM GMT+7 when both teams agree on a schedule.
How quickly can I start?
We can match you with a senior engineer within 48 hours. After a quick onboarding call, your engineer can start shipping code the same week.
What's the minimum commitment?
All part-time packages are month-to-month at 4-6 hours per day. No long-term contracts and no penalties for cancellation. Junior engineers are only available inside managed team packages, where a senior or lead provides oversight.
Can I upgrade or downgrade?
Yes. You can switch between 4-hour and 6-hour coverage, or move between medior and senior, at the start of the next billing cycle. If you need more than 6 hours per day, look at our managed team packages or IT Development instead.
What if I need a full team or more hours?
If you need more than one person, a managed team, or a dedicated development operation, our team packages and IT Development offering handle the engineering end-to-end. You review progress and give feedback on results.
