How billing works

- 30 days’ noticeScale up or down, or stop, with a month’s notice.
- No rolloverHours don’t carry over, so you only pay for the capacity you use.
What a team looks like

Questions about hourly teams
- What’s the difference between a senior engineer and an engineer?
- A senior engineer leads the work and owns the result. An engineer is mid-level, and a senior on your team reviews everything they write. Most teams are built around seniors, with engineers added when the roadmap needs more hands.
- Do unused hours carry over?
- No. A monthly block covers that month. If your roadmap is lighter, scale the team down with 30 days’ notice instead of paying for hours you won’t use.
- Can I try before committing?
- Yes. A two-week paid pilot on a real piece of your roadmap, at a price agreed up front, before you sign up for a monthly team.
- Do I interview the engineers?
- No. Every engineer is vetted by us before they join our team, so you’re introduced instead: profiles of people matched to your stack, and a short call to meet them. If the fit isn’t right, we introduce someone else.
- How do I pay?
- By ACH, wire or card, in monthly blocks paid before the month starts.
