The problem

You need to ship.
Recruiting is killing your runway.

Every week you spend interviewing senior engineers is a week you're not building. Sound familiar?

3–6 month hiring cycles

US engineers take 3–6 months to recruit and onboard — your investors expect progress now, not next quarter.

💸

US hiring burns runway fast

A single senior US engineer can cost $180K+ loaded — a significant slice of your seed round before they've shipped a line.

🎲

High attrition risk

Early hires leave for the next shiny offer. You need a team committed to your project's success.

🔧

Freelancers who disappear

Junior outsourcing means constant supervision, rework, and a codebase no one wants to inherit.

The process

From first call to shipping code in 10 days

A structured, fast onboarding designed for startups that can't afford to wait.

01

Tell us what you're building

A 30-minute call with a Devtal specialist. You describe the project, stack, and the gap in your team. No forms, no lengthy briefs.

Day 1
02

We match you with vetted engineers

Within 48 hours, we present 2–3 pre-vetted engineers or a small team from our LATAM network — all with 3+ years of production experience, proven on real US products.

Day 2–3
03

You interview and approve

You run a technical interview (or trust our vetting). You pick who you work with. No one gets imposed on your team.

Day 4–6
04

Your team starts shipping

Onboarding is handled. Contracts are simple. Your new engineers join your Slack, your standups, your sprint — and start committing code.

Day 7–10
AI-augmented engineering

Your engineers use AI.
So do ours.

Every Devtal engineer actively uses AI coding tools — Cursor, Claude, and Copilot — as part of their daily workflow. The result isn't just faster code. It's cleaner architecture, fewer bugs, and higher quality pull requests from day one.

This isn't a buzzword. It's a workflow standard we require across our entire engineering network — so you get the compounded benefit of experienced engineers and the velocity boost of AI-assisted development.

Cursor
AI-first code editor — multi-file edits, codebase-aware suggestions, and automated refactoring that cuts review time significantly.
🧠
Claude by Anthropic
Used for architecture reasoning, documentation, code review, and complex problem-solving — a senior thinking partner at every sprint.
🤖
GitHub Copilot
AI pair programmer — autocomplete, boilerplate generation, and real-time code suggestions across the entire codebase.

⚡ The outcome: our clients consistently report cleaner codebases and fewer bugs compared to previous engineering teams — remote or local.

AI / SaaS — Post-seed startup

Delivered two engineers in 7 days — project completed ahead of a 3-week deadline

A US-based AI SaaS startup needed to expand their team fast: a frontend engineer to build out their UI and a data scientist who could integrate the entire backend end-to-end. They had a hard 3-week delivery window and no time to recruit. Devtal placed both engineers within 7 days. The team integrated immediately and delivered the project slightly ahead of schedule.

Assembled a 5-person cross-functional team in 11 days to deliver a first client implementation

A US-based AI/LLM startup with a small founding team needed to scale fast to deliver for their first client. They required a frontend engineer, a backend engineer, a UX designer, a project planner, and a DevOps specialist — all at once. Devtal assembled the full team in 11 days and integrated seamlessly with their existing founders. Despite the complexity of a first client rollout, the team pushed through and delivered a working implementation within weeks.

Why Devtal

Not a staffing agency.
Not a freelance marketplace.

A senior-only engineering partner built for startups that need to move fast and can't afford mistakes.

Proven engineers, always

Every Devtal engineer has 3–7+ years of production experience. No raw beginners — only engineers who have shipped real products and can hit the ground running.

US-aligned culture

Our engineers are fluent in English and versed in US startup culture — agile sprints, direct communication, and ownership mentality.

Your timezone, your rhythm

Our LATAM engineers cover EST through PST — full US timezone alignment. Real standups, instant Slack responses, zero async lag.

Security & IP protection

NDA-first by default. All engineers sign IP assignment agreements. Your codebase, your IP — always.

AI & ML native

Deep expertise in LLMs, NLP, and data pipelines. If your product has an AI layer, our engineers have shipped one before.

AI-accelerated workflow

Our engineers actively use Cursor, Claude, and Copilot as daily tools — resulting in cleaner code, fewer bugs, and faster review cycles on every sprint.

Scales with you

Start with one engineer, grow to a full squad. Engagements flex with your sprint load and funding stage.

Investment

Transparent pricing. No recruiter fees.

Pay for delivered work, not for a seat. Predictable project-based billing that keeps your runway intact.

Semi-senior engineer

From $35/hr
3–5 years production experience

Proven engineers who ship independently. Ideal for feature development, integrations, and augmenting a small founding team without the US price tag.
