Tell us the role, the seniority and the hours a week. We confirm availability on the first call and present candidates within 1 week. You interview the engineer who will do the work, and that engineer is the one who joins your team, not a substitute. Then you pay per hour worked at the published band, with a 6-month minimum for hourly teams, and the engineer works in your tools and your process.
We staff backend, frontend and full-stack, mobile, product and design, plus AI, platform, DevOps, SRE and QA. Today we have access to more than 100 different profiles, available in under two weeks.
Who directs the engineer is your choice: your own team, or Clouditive with Mat Caniglia leading the project.
