Staffing — Engineering Talent, Hand-Picked by CTOs
Month-to-month access to Chile-based software engineers who work the US day, vetted by operators, and ready to ship code next week.
Who This Is For?
- VPs / Directors of Engineering who need velocity faster than internal hiring can deliver.
- Start-ups hitting a funding inflection that need senior engineers who “get” product from day one.
- Teams requiring full US-time-zone overlap but without the Bay-Area burn rate.
- Organizations that need full US-time-zone overlap without Bay-Area price tags.
Common Pitfalls We Help You Avoid
- Wrong hires and endless interview loops that stall delivery.
- Time-zone drag & async lag that slows feedback cycles.
- “Body-shop” churn and silent engineer swaps mid-project.
- Prototype code that can't scale or pass a security audit.
How We Work (Embedded Pod Model)
CTO-Level Vetting
Steve & Clark review, pair, and code-test every candidate before you ever see a résumé.Streamlined Interviews
We handle the deep technical vetting first; most clients just add a quick fit call instead of a multi-round interview marathon.Kick-Off in quickly
Engineer joins your GitHub, Slack, and sprint rituals full-time within business days not months.On-Site Mentorship
Clark coaches architecture and delivery habits daily from our Santiago office.Stable Faces
Same engineers stay for the engagement, we can serve as your remote office.Confidentiality & IP
- NDA before access - all code lives in your repos; you own 100 % of IP from commit #1.
- Client-controlled hardware - most teams ship locked-down laptops we image & secure.
- MFA + SOC-2 tooling - single-tenant repos, no subcontractors.
Engagement Snapshot
- Contract Contract Month-to-month; cancel or resize with 2-week notice.
- Ramp Time First commit in ≤ 5 business days.
- Team Size 1-5 engineers per pod
- Overlap 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Central (Chile = US-Eastern + 1 hr DST).
- Billing Flat monthly rate per engineer, invoiced at month-end.
- Hardware Client-supplied laptop (recommended) or secured AndesPath device
Why We're Effective
- Operated by two-time CTOs—our squads have shipped 600-robot fleet platforms, 20 MM ft² CV analytics, Twilio/Stripe-driven marketplaces, and private Airbnb-style booking systems.
- University pipeline: Clark's professor role taps top CS grads and alumni first.
- In-person Santiago culture accelerates knowledge sharing and code quality.
- Quality you can see: peer review, automated tests, and observability hooks on every PR.
Pricing
Typically we operate a flat monthly squad rate—no hourly surprises, but we can adjust for special projects/requests.
