Questions, answered.
Vetting, overlap, rates, engagement models, and how the day-to-day works.
How do you vet engineers?
Every engineer is reviewed by senior Rails engineers — system design, Hotwire and PostgreSQL fluency, background-job patterns, and test discipline — plus an English and communication check. It is not a generic multi-stack coding quiz.
How fast can I get a shortlist?
For a clear request, we typically share a curated shortlist within a few days and arrange first interviews within 7–10 days.
What does "time-zone overlap" actually mean?
We compute the daily hours your business day intersects each engineer's working day, accounting for both time zones, and show that number on every shortlist card. With US teams it is usually 6–8 hours.
Do I get to browse all your engineers?
No. Clients see curated, anonymized shortlists of two or three matches per request. A small hand-vetted bench means curation is the product, and it protects the engineers' details until you choose to interview.
Hourly or full-time?
Both. Hourly contracts suit project work and trials; dedicated full-time engagements suit owning a product surface over quarters. You can move between them as the work changes.
How does billing work?
Approved timesheets roll into a single monthly invoice in USD, with a PDF. We pay the engineer locally in their currency — you never run foreign payroll or open an entity abroad.
What if an engineer isn't the right fit?
Tell us early and we'll re-curate. Because we place senior engineers we've personally vetted, mismatches are rare — but we'd rather fix one than leave you stuck.
Which technologies do you cover?
Ruby on Rails and its ecosystem — Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus), PostgreSQL, background processing, and the Rails 8 Solid Queue / Cache / Cable stack. We deliberately do not staff other languages.
Tell us the role. Get a shortlist in days.
No roster to browse, no résumé pile. Two or three vetted engineers, with real overlap hours.
