Pods · Retainers · Long-term
Your offshore team shouldn’t feel offshore.
Senior engineers in your Slack, your Linear, your repo. EST-overlap, async-first, scale up or down monthly. No agency layers between you and the engineer.
How it works
Your team, just better located.
Embedded engineers
Senior devs join your Slack + Linear + repo. Daily standups optional, async by default.
EST overlap built-in
~4 hours of overlap with US East every workday. Calls happen at human times.
Long-term support
Maintain, refactor, ship features — for months and years, not sprints.
Monthly retainers
Predictable monthly billing. Scale your pod up or down with one Slack message.
Startup collaboration
We work with founders, not corporate procurement. No 60-day MSAs.
Agile workflow
Linear / Jira / GitHub — your tools, your process, our engineers.
How it goes
The process
- 01
Discover
Skill mix, team size, time-zone needs, stack.
- 02
Match
We propose specific named engineers — not a CV pool.
- 03
Onboard
Engineers join your tools in week one.
- 04
Ship
Weekly demos, biweekly syncs, async by default.
- 05
Scale
Add or remove engineers monthly — no rehiring friction.
Why Octidev
Real engineers, no agency markup.
No agency layers
You talk to the engineer. We don’t put PMs in the way.
Senior by default
No bait-and-switch. The engineer who interviews is the engineer who ships.
Hourly $8–$40
A US senior eng is $150–$250/hr. Same caliber, fraction of the rate.
Flex monthly
Scale up for a launch, scale down after. One-month minimum.
