Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle intellectual property (IP) protection?
All intellectual property created by our engineers is transferred 100% to the client upon invoice settlement. Every engineer signs comprehensive confidentiality and IP assignment agreements prior to placement.
What happens if a developer is not the right fit?
We offer a two-week replacement guarantee. If a candidate does not meet your technical expectations during the initial two weeks, we replace them immediately at no additional cost.
How do remote engineers overlap with our local working hours?
Our engineers provide a minimum of 4–5 hours of direct daily overlap with client business hours across US (EST/PST), UK (GMT/BST), Europe (CET), and Gulf (GST/AST) timezones.
What is the minimum contract commitment?
Dedicated engineering retainers start at 4 months for maximum cost efficiency. For shorter requirements, we offer elastic sprint pods (1–3 months) designed for rapid product releases.
