Your roadmap is ambitious but your team is maxed out. Add senior developers, QA engineers, and technical leads without the 3-month hiring cycle or salary premium.

For Startups & Scale-ups

The Situation

Your product roadmap is packed. Customers are requesting features. Investors want to see velocity. But your engineering team is already stretched thin, and every new hire takes 3 months to find and another 2 to onboard. Meanwhile, your competitors are shipping.

You've tried freelancers, but code quality is inconsistent and nobody sticks around long enough to understand your codebase. Agencies charge premium rates and treat you like a ticket number. What you really need is more engineers who feel like part of your team.

How SoTalented Helps

We build you a dedicated development team in India that integrates directly with your existing engineering org. These aren't contractors working on isolated projects. They join your standups, use your repos, follow your coding standards, and ship alongside your local team.

Whether you need to add capacity for a major release, build out a new product line, or simply move faster without burning out your current team, we can have developers productive within weeks, not months.

Roles We Can Staff

India has one of the deepest talent pools for software development. Here are the roles we commonly fill:

  • Frontend developers (React, Vue, Angular)

  • Backend developers (Node, Python, Java, Go)

  • Full-stack engineers

  • Mobile developers (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter)

  • QA engineers and automation specialists

  • DevOps and infrastructure engineers

  • Technical leads and engineering managers

  • Data engineers and analysts

Why SoTalented

Scaling engineering is high-stakes. Bad hires cost months in lost productivity. Here's why companies trust us:

  • Pre-vetted for skills AND cultural fit - We don't just check if they can code. We assess communication, problem-solving approach, and how they'll work with your existing team

  • Works from a Grade A office - Reliable internet, backup power, secure environment. No "my wifi went down" excuses during critical deploys

  • 30-day replacement guarantee - If someone isn't working out, we replace them at no additional cost
