pods · what fits your team
Three ways toEmbed.
Three engagement shapes — pod, single hire, white-label. Same vetting bar, same rate card, same senior-lead promise. Pick what your team actually needs.
01
Pod
Default1 senior lead + 4–6 hands-on juniors
A slice of your roadmap, owned end-to-end. The lead architects, juniors ship, and the team attends your standups like an extension of your engineering org. Best price-per-output by a wide margin.
Best for:Companies who need sustained throughput on a real roadmap — not just a one-off hire.

$22–$58
/hr · all-in
02
Single hire
One role · full-time or part-time
When you already have a tech lead in-house and just need to add a hands-on dev, BI engineer, or designer. Same vetting pipeline, same quality bar — minus the senior-lead overhead.
Best for:Teams with strong tech leadership who need a force-multiplier hire, not a managed pod.
Price band
$4–$12

White-label
AgencyWe run the pod · you run the relationship
For software agencies reselling delivery. We staff the team in your colors — your domain emails, your branding, your client-facing relationship. NDA-default, IP transfer baked into every contract.
Best for:Agencies who want to scale delivery without scaling headcount, and without risking attribution to the offshore team.

vetting · the bar
How a $4 devShips.
The pod model only works if the developers in it actually ship. Here’s how we filter, gate, and lead the team you’d hire — every layer above the price.

The senior-lead promise
Every pull request is read by a senior before it merges.
100%of PRs reviewed
before merge
before merge
Our senior-tech-leads have shipped to Series-A startups and public-company codebases — full-stack, infra, BI, the lot. On every pod, the lead architects the work, reviews every PR, runs weekly code-quality reviews, and unblocks juniors before they stall.
The juniors get throughput volume. The seniors get final say on what merges. No code reaches production without a lead’s approval — ever. That’s the gate that lets us put a $4 number on the page and still mean it.
