THE CHALLENGE

What you want to know before you start

You want to build faster and add AI functionality to your product, but experienced developers take time to find. In an AI-ready team, developers build that functionality into your product and review the output of their AI tools themselves.

Can I start with one developer?

Yes, absolutely. You expand when the work calls for it.

How soon can a developer start?

In 3 to 6 weeks, from the first conversation to the day your developer starts, depending on the requested profile.

Which stacks are covered?

The stack you use: we recruit for the profile we agree on with you. That can be Java, .NET, PHP with Laravel, Python with Django, or React and Node.js.

Is this the same as using a staffing agency?

No. It is also different from hiring a freelancer. Your developer is part of your team, works under your direction and stays for years.

THE SOLUTION

Your own developers in Moldova

They work exclusively on your product, under your direction, as your development team or to strengthen the one you already have. We call that an Extended Team®.
