HIRE DEVELOPERS

Senior engineers, productive in the first week

Vetted engineers who join your team, work in your repositories, and are accountable for shipped outcomes — available as individuals or as a whole delivery pod.

SPECIALISMS

The engineers you can hire

Every engineer is a senior practitioner who has shipped and operated production systems in their specialism.

ENGAGEMENT MODELS

How you can work with them

Four shapes of engagement. The right one depends on how stable your scope is and how much you want to direct day to day.

HOW IT WORKS

From first call to a first pull request

Most engagements start within a week or two of the initial conversation.

01

Requirements call

Stack, seniority, time-zone overlap, and what success looks like in the first ninety days, agreed in a single conversation.

02

Matched profiles

Two or three genuinely available engineers with real project detail, usually within forty-eight hours.

03

Your interview

You interview them however you interview anyone. If nobody fits, we go again at no cost, and we say so if we cannot match you.

04

Onboarding and delivery

Access, context, and a first meaningful pull request in week one, with a named account contact for anything that needs escalating.

WHY IT WORKS

What you get that job boards cannot offer

The value is in speed, reversibility, and the fact that someone else carries the employment risk.

01

Weeks, not quarters

Direct hiring for a senior engineer routinely takes three to six months. This is measured in days from the first call.

02

Scale in both directions

Add capacity for a delivery push and reduce it afterwards, without redundancy processes or bench cost.

03

No single points of failure

Engineers are backed by a team. Illness, leave, or a departure does not stall your roadmap.

04

Vetting you can check

Every engineer has passed a technical assessment and reference checks, and you still run your own interview before committing.

WHY ZIKOSOFT

Why teams hire through us

We are a delivery studio that also places engineers, not an agency that resells CVs.

Learn more about us →
✓

Engineers we have worked with

Everyone we place has delivered on our own projects. We are not forwarding profiles from a database we have never met.

✓

Accountable for output

If an engineer is not delivering, that is our problem to fix. We replace at our cost rather than debating the invoice.

✓

Overlap that actually works

We match on real working-hours overlap with your team, because asynchronous-only collaboration slows most projects down.

✓

Straight answers on fit

If your need is better served by a direct hire or a different vendor, we will say so. It costs us a contract and saves you a quarter.

FAQ

Questions hiring managers ask

Contracts, notice, intellectual property, and what happens when it is not working.

How quickly can someone start?
Profiles usually within forty-eight hours, and a start date one to two weeks after you decide, depending on the engineer's current commitments.
What if the engineer is not a fit?
Tell us in the first two weeks and we replace them at our cost. After that, standard notice applies and we still handle the transition.
Who owns the code they write?
You do, unconditionally. Intellectual property assignment is in the contract and covers everything produced during the engagement.
What is the minimum commitment?
One month for staff augmentation, three for a dedicated team, since a pod needs that long to be worth the onboarding investment.
Can we hire the engineer permanently?
Yes. There is a conversion arrangement in the contract, and we would rather you keep someone good than lose them at the end of a term.

Need senior engineers this month?

Tell us the stack and the seniority you need, and we will send matched profiles within forty-eight hours.
