Dedicated Engineering Pod
Build a Strategic Offshore Development Team That Scales With You
A dedicated Hireplicity pod isn't a vendor relationship — it's an extension of your engineering team. Same standup, same sprint, same accountability. US-based CTO oversight included. AI-assisted delivery as standard. 40–70% less than an equivalent US hire.
If you're not satisfied in the first 30 days, we'll make it right — or refund the month.
The problem with scaling engineering isn't talent. It's cost, speed, and risk.
Hiring a senior US engineer costs $150K–$200K in base salary alone. Fully loaded with benefits, recruiter fees, onboarding, churn, that's $250K–$300K per year. And the hiring timeline averages 3–4 months. By the time your new hire is shipping meaningful code, your roadmap has slipped by a quarter.
A Hireplicity dedicated pod gives you senior engineers shipping in your sprints from week two — at 40–70% of the cost. Without the recruiter, without the visa risk, without the 90-day notice period.
How Does It Work?
From first call to production-ready code in under two weeks. Every step is owned — by a person, not a process doc.
Discovery & Team Assembly
Taylor Basilio or a senior architect reviews your stack, compliance requirements, and sprint structure. We handpick engineers matched to your tech stack, domain expertise, and seniority level. You receive a written team recommendation — roles, seniority, tech match — before any commitment.
Written rec before you commitOnboarding & Integration
Pod assembled, environments provisioned, tools connected. Your engineers are in your Slack, your Jira, and your standup before Friday of week two. No separate Hireplicity workflow — we join yours.
In your standup by end of week 2First PRs Merged
Real code, in your repo, reviewed and tested. Every pod includes a dedicated PM who owns sprint coordination, SLA adherence, and weekly stakeholder reporting. One point of contact — not a rotating cast of account managers.
Production-ready, not a demoYou Review Results
Weekly demos. Monthly retrospectives. Engineers who flag risks before they become blockers. Our internal attrition rate is 2% — in an industry where the average is 13%. The engineer who learns your codebase in month one is still on your team in month twelve.

Why engineering leaders choose Hireplicity over every other offshore provider.
Five reasons — with the numbers to back them up.
50+ EdTech Platforms Shipped. Your Compliance Requirements Are Our Baseline.
If you're an EdTech company, your pod already knows these standards before their first standup. These aren't new concepts we research for your project — they're what we've built to for 18 years.
Scale Without a Hiring Cycle
Add engineers or reduce the team in a single sprint cycle — no recruiter, no 90-day notice, no re-onboarding cost. You pay for the capacity you're using, when you're using it.
In Your Tools. In Your Timezone Overlap. In Your Standup.
Your engineers work in Slack, Jira, GitHub, and whatever else your team runs. English-proficient, overlap with US working hours, and familiar with US engineering culture — because 95% of our clients are US-based.
40–70% Cost Savings — With Full Transparency on the Math.
A fully-loaded senior Philippine engineer with AI tooling costs $6,400–$8,900/month. A US equivalent costs $15,600–$19,500/month. The savings are 40–70% — and that's after AI tooling costs. We share the full breakdown in your first call.
IP Is Yours. Security Is Standard. Compliance Is Built In.
Signed NDA before any work begins. All intellectual property transfers to you in full on delivery. Enterprise-grade secure infrastructure and data handling protocols. For EdTech and regulated-industry clients, a formal Data Processing Agreement is included.
Your pod ships 40–60% faster — because every engineer uses AI.
GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude — standard tools on every engagement, not experiments.
All AI tools are formally approved before they touch your codebase. Student PII is never processed by AI tools without your written approval. FERPA and COPPA compliance checkpoints run at every sprint gate — not just at delivery.
Faster feature delivery
vs. traditional development timelines — on every engagement, across every sprint.
Automated test coverage
Out of the box, without months of test-suite build-out. Fewer production incidents from day one.
Sprint gate has a compliance checkpoint
Not just at final delivery. Compliance risk is caught when it's cheap to fix — not after it compounds.
Student PII passed to AI without approval
Your written sign-off is required before any student data touches an AI tool. No exceptions.
Not satisfied in the first 30 days? We make it right — at our cost.
If an engineer isn't performing — technically, culturally, or communicatively — we replace them within the week. If the team is missing sprint commitments, our US team personally reviews the engagement and addresses the root cause. If you're still not satisfied after our intervention, we refund that month's engagement fee. No questions asked.
When it applies The guarantee covers the first 30 days of active sprint work — from your first standup, not from the contract date.
What's covered The refund covers your monthly engagement fee — not third-party infrastructure costs such as cloud services or licensed tools.
How to activate Notify your account lead in writing. That's it — no lengthy dispute process, no forms, no waiting period.
