What unlimited replacements means

  • A developer who quits or underperforms is always replaced, with no limit.
  • A change for fit needs the reason in writing, and the current developer must have worked at least 30 days.
  • One replacement in progress at a time.

Days off, as you see them

  • You never pay for a developer's vacation or sick days, on any contract.
  • Developers follow your holiday calendar.
  • Vacation is planned with 30 days' notice.

Questions tech leads ask us

Is there a minimum contract?

You choose: monthly, six months or twelve. Monthly ends with 30 days' notice and nothing more. The longer contracts lock your rate and carry more free replacements; ending one early is settled as the contract terms set out.

What if the developer isn't a fit?

We replace the engineer for free: unlimited replacements on a 12+ month contract, 2 on six months, 1 on monthly. An engineer who quits or underperforms is always replaced, with no limit.

Can I hire the developer full-time later?

Yes. The buyout is set in the contract from day one.

How does billing work?

One monthly invoice, in US dollars. Contracts, payroll and compliance are handled by us.
