Stop auditioning developers. Watch one work instead.
Freelance platforms give you a pile of proposals and a decision to make with almost nothing to go on. We give you one dedicated engineer, a week of real work on your own backlog, free, and a decision on day 8 with the evidence already in your repo.

The expensive part was never the hourly rate
The cost of freelance hiring is rarely the rate. It is the week spent reading proposals, the fortnight spent getting someone up to speed, and doing both again when the contract ends and the context walks out with them.
A dedicated engineer holds the context. They know why that service is structured the way it is, because they were there when it was. That is the part you cannot rebuy at any hourly rate.
One engineer, AI agents, every diff reviewed
Our engineers work with AI agents. The agents do the volume, the engineer reviews every diff before it lands in your repo. You watch commits arrive rather than reading a status update.
That is also why one engineer covers more ground than the headcount suggests, and why we can put a real week of work behind a free trial without it being a loss leader.
