A specialist you can’t justify locally
Add the DevOps or data engineer your team keeps working around, as one seat in your satellite office.
- The SoTalented Office Guarantee
- Works in your time zone
- $0 until you hire
Sound familiar.
- Deploys wait on the one person who understands the pipeline.
- Every analysis starts with cleaning the data by hand.
- The specialist you need costs more locally than the problem seems to justify.
For example
Say deploys wait on one engineer, alerts go to whoever notices, and every analysis starts with someone cleaning data in a spreadsheet. You need a specialist, just not at a local senior salary.
Add a DevOps engineer or a data engineer in your satellite office. The DevOps engineer owns CI/CD, infrastructure as code and monitoring. The data engineer builds the pipelines and the warehouse the rest of the team relies on.
The work your team keeps routing around gets an owner.
What you’d set up.
Every seat is dedicated to your company and never shared. Prices are per person, per month, all-inclusive, and differ by level.

Right terms
What am I signing up for?
Nothing, until your first hire starts.
Then one invoice a month, no long-term contract, and 30 days notice to scale down.

It depends on how much they’ll decide alone. We place junior, mid and senior, and we’ll help you choose on a call.
What does a seat cost?
It depends on the role and the level. Every price is all-inclusive: salary, benefits, payroll, compliance, office, IT and equipment, on one invoice. Each role’s bands are on its page.
Can I start with one seat?
Yes. You pay nothing until your first hire starts, add seats when it works, and give 30 days notice to scale down.
