Hire Software Engineers Who Own Features, Not Tickets
When you hire software engineers through Aizecs, you get senior, product-minded builders across TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and Go — engineers who take a feature from spec to production, not ticket-takers waiting for the next assignment. Each one is a named individual you interview yourself, with profiles in your inbox within 48 hours.

What It Costs to Hire Software Engineers Through Aizecs
No sales-call pricing reveal. These are the hourly bill rates by seniority — typically half of what Toptal or Turing charge for engineers drawn from the same India talent pool.
| Role / Seniority | Aizecs (India) | Toptal / Turing | Upwork Freelancers | US In-House |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-Level Software Engineer (3–5 yrs) | $22–$40/hr | $60–$120/hr | $18–$39/hr | $80–$120/hr |
| Senior Software Engineer (5–8 yrs) | $38–$65/hr | $90–$150/hr | $25–$50/hr | $100–$160/hr |
| Staff Engineer / Architect (8+ yrs) | $45–$85/hr | $120–$200+/hr | $40–$80/hr | $140–$200+/hr |
| Full-Stack Lead (TypeScript/Go) | $42–$75/hr | $100–$170/hr | $35–$70/hr | $130–$190/hr |
Hourly bill rates for dedicated, full-time engineers (2025–26 benchmarks). Upwork medians reflect unvetted, project-based freelancing rather than embedded teammates. US in-house figures are fully loaded costs including benefits, equity, and overhead.
How It Works
Hiring a Software Engineer, Compressed to Days
A typical US engineering hire takes 3–6 months from job post to first commit. Our process gets a vetted senior engineer writing code in your repo in about ten business days.
Define the role together
In a 30-minute intro call we pin down stack, seniority, domain context, and how much timezone overlap you need. If a full-time hire or a different model fits better, we'll say so.
Review named candidates in 48 hours
Within two days you get 2–4 real engineer profiles — actual names, shipped projects, and code samples. Run your own technical interviews; there's no anonymous bench behind them.
Trial them on real sprint work
The engineer you pick spends a paid week inside your repo, standups, and review process. A bad fit costs you one week, nothing more — replacement is on us.
Continue month-to-month
Keep the engineer as long as the roadmap needs them. Scale to a pod, change skill mix, or offboard with 30 days' notice. No annual contracts, ever.
Roles We Staff
The Engineering Skill Sets We Place Most
Whether you need to hire software engineers for a greenfield build or reinforce an existing squad, these are the profiles our clients embed most often.
Full-Stack TypeScript Engineers
React, Next.js, and Node.js specialists who move comfortably across the stack — the workhorse profile for most modern SaaS teams.
Backend & API Engineers
Node.js, Python, Go, and Java engineers who design clean APIs, model data correctly in Postgres, and keep services fast under load.
Frontend Product Engineers
Engineers who obsess over the UI your customers actually touch — component architecture, performance budgets, and accessibility built in.
AI-Feature Engineers
Builders who ship LLM-powered features, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows into production products, not just prototypes.
Platform & DevOps Engineers
AWS, GCP, and Azure hands who own CI/CD, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code so your product engineers stay unblocked.
Staff-Level Architects
8+ year engineers who make system-design calls, review the critical path, and raise the bar for the whole team — while still shipping code.
Why Aizecs
What Makes Aizecs Engineers Different
Plenty of firms will rent you a developer. The question is whether that developer behaves like a teammate who owns outcomes — that's the bar we hire against.
End-to-end ownership
Our engineers take a feature from ambiguous spec to monitored production release. They ask the product questions, not just the Jira questions.
A vetting bar most people fail
Fewer than 1 in 20 applicants make it through our technical screens, system-design rounds, and communication checks. Median experience: 5+ years.
AI-native by default
Claude, Copilot, and agentic coding tools are part of every engineer's daily workflow — which is why our seniors ship at a pace that surprises new clients.
The person you interview is the person you get
No profile swaps after signature, no 'equivalent resource' substitutions. Named talent from first email to last commit.
Your hours, not ours
Engineers hold 4+ hours of daily overlap with US Eastern and near-full overlap with EU and UK teams, so pairing and reviews happen live.
Clean IP and legal footing
IP assignment and NDA sit under a US-enforceable MSA, and all work happens in your repositories under your access controls.
Engagement Models
Three Ways to Bring Engineers On Board
Match the engagement shape to the size of the problem — and change it later without renegotiating a contract.
Embedded engineer
A single senior engineer slots into your existing squad, managed by your lead inside your process and tooling.
Best for: Adding capacity or a missing skill fast
Feature pod
A 3–5 person team, optionally with a lead, that owns an entire workstream — new module, migration, or product line — reporting into your org.
Best for: Shipping a roadmap item in parallel
Long-term extension
A standing offshore team with dedicated management and its own hiring pipeline, functioning as a permanent arm of your engineering org.
Best for: Sustained scale past 5+ engineers

FAQ
Common Questions
How quickly can I hire software engineers through Aizecs?
You'll have 2–4 named, interview-ready profiles within 48 hours of the intro call. After your interviews, the paid trial week usually begins within 3–5 business days, so most teams have an engineer committing code inside two weeks — versus the 3–6 months a typical US hire takes.
What does it cost to hire software engineers from India via Aizecs?
Mid-level engineers (3–5 years) bill $22–$40/hr, seniors (5–8 years) $38–$65/hr, and staff-level architects $45–$85/hr. Those are full published rates — no placement fees or hidden markups — and typically 50–70% below Toptal or Turing for comparable talent.
Do I get to interview the actual engineer before committing?
Yes, and that's non-negotiable for us. Every profile is a named individual with real project history and code samples, and you run whatever interview process you'd run for your own candidates. The engineer you approve is the engineer who joins — no substitutions.
What happens if the engineer isn't a good fit?
Every engagement opens with a paid trial week of real sprint work. If it's not working by the end of that week, you pay nothing beyond it and we line up a replacement at no cost. After the trial, engagements are month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
How do your engineers handle US and EU working hours?
Schedules are shifted to guarantee at least 4 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern time and near-complete overlap with UK and EU teams. Standups, pairing sessions, code reviews, and incident calls all happen during your working day, not asynchronously overnight.
Who owns the code, and how is IP protected?
You own everything from the first commit. IP assignment and NDA terms sit under a US-enforceable master services agreement, and engineers work exclusively in your repositories under your access controls — no code ever lives on our side.
What stacks do your software engineers cover?
The deepest bench is in TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and Go, with strong coverage in Java, mobile (React Native/Flutter), and cloud infrastructure. Every engineer also uses Claude, Copilot, and agentic tooling daily, so AI-assisted velocity comes standard.
