For growing companies

The backlog your team never reaches

One developer owns the internal tools and integrations end to end, so your core team stays on the product.

  • The SoTalented Office Guarantee
  • Works in your time zone
  • $0 until you hire

Sound familiar.

  • The admin panel has been ‘next sprint’ for a year.
  • The CRM sync breaks and someone fixes it by hand.
  • Your best engineers keep getting pulled off the product for it.

For example

Say the admin panel, the CRM sync and the reporting export have sat at the bottom of the backlog for a year. They’re never urgent enough to beat the product, and they quietly cost hours every week.

Add a full-stack developer in your satellite office who owns them end to end, from design to deployed. They work in your repositories and your sprints, and they build the internal tools and integrations the rest of the company keeps asking for.

The backlog gets an owner, and your core team gets its focus back.

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.

  • Full-stack developer

    from $2,000 a month

    What they’ll own

    • Takes a ticket from design to deployed, UI through API and database
    • Builds internal tools and integrates third-party services
    • Maintains production and fixes bugs across the codebase
    • Works in your repositories, your sprints and your code reviews
    • Flags risk early, not at the deadline
    Hire a full-stack developer

Start with one seat and add the next when it’s working. $0 until your first hire starts, and 30 days notice to scale down.

What’s inside every seat

Your developer is working in about three weeks.

Here is exactly what happens after you say yes, week by week.

  1. Week one

    We find them

    We do
    Write the job description, source, screen and run the technical assessment.
    You do
    Brief us on the role and sign the brief.
  2. Week two

    You choose

    We do
    Check English and time zone, then run background verification, references and the offer.
    You do
    Interview a shortlist that has already passed the assessment, and choose.
  3. Week three

    They start

    We do
    Contracts, benefits, desk, equipment and software access, all in place.
    You do
    Welcome them.
  4. Day one

    They start.

    You start paying here. Until then, you pay nothing.

A freelancer for odd jobs, or a developer of your own.

Internal tools need looking after once they ship. Here’s what changes when the person who built them stays.

Questions.

Not seeing yours? Ask us directly.

Talk to us
Will they work in our codebase?

Yes, in your repositories, with your reviews and your standards, like any developer on your team.

What if the backlog runs dry?

Point them at the product, or scale down on 30 days notice.

Junior or mid?

Mid if they’ll mostly work alone. Junior if a senior on your team will review their work.

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.
