18 years of EdTech and SaaS engineering. Here's exactly how we work.
Hireplicity is the US-led engineering partner for EdTech and SaaS companies that need to ship faster, scale without technical debt, and cut engineering spend by 40–70%. We operate through dedicated engineering pods, full-cycle builds, staff augmentation, and fractional CTO support — all AI-assisted as standard, all backed by Taylor Basilio's personal 30-day guarantee.
The three problems EdTech and SaaS engineering leaders bring to us.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
"We're behind on the roadmap."
You promised features to your board, your customers, or your sales team — and your team can't ship fast enough. We embed senior engineering pods that ship in your sprints from week two, not week twelve. AI-assisted delivery means 40–60% faster feature velocity from day one.
40–60% faster from week 2 See: Dedicated Engineering Pod"Engineering burn is out of control."
US senior engineers cost $150K–$200K in salary alone — $250K–$300K fully loaded. Our blended pods cost 40–70% less with the same code review rigour and compliance posture. No recruiter fees, no 90-day notice, no visa risk.
40–70% less than US hiring See: Engagement Models"Our last offshore experiment failed."
Body shops, time-zone misses, no ownership. Hireplicity is run by a US-based CTO who sits in your standups when it matters, owns architectural decisions, and will personally intervene if delivery is off track in the first 30 days.
30-day personal guarantee See: IT Staff AugmentationSix ways to work with us.
One engineering standard.
Your roadmap, fully staffed. Shipping from week two.
A dedicated team of senior engineers embedded in your sprint workflow from week two. US CTO oversight included. You set the standards; we match them. AI-assisted delivery means 40–60% faster feature velocity from day one.
From blank canvas to production-ready product. We own the full build.
Discovery, architecture, design, development, QA, launch, and post-launch support — owned end-to-end by a US-led engineering team. For fixed-scope engagements, we build a free working prototype before you commit a dollar.
The engineers you need. In your sprint. By week two.
Add senior engineers who integrate into your existing team — same standup, same sprint, same accountability standards. Matched to your tech stack, seniority level, and domain. If the engineer isn't right, we replace them at our cost, not yours.
Scope locked. Price fixed. Working prototype before you commit a dollar.
For project-based engagements, we build a free working prototype before you sign anything — a functional proof-of-concept showing how we'd approach your product, the architecture decisions we'd make, and the core feature flow. You own the prototype regardless of what happens next.
Ship every sprint with confidence. No regressions. No compliance surprises.
Manual and automated test suites — unit, integration, E2E, accessibility, and performance. AI-generated tests cover 80–85% of your codebase out of the box, embedded in your sprint workflow — not bolted on at the end.
A $300K VP Engineering hire is not where you are right now. Taylor Basilio is.
Architecture decisions, hiring guidance, technical roadmap, and investor due diligence prep — Taylor or a senior Hireplicity technical lead embedded in your planning without the full-time headcount. The first session is free.
How a Hireplicity engagement actually works.
From first call to code in production — in under 4 weeks.
No 12-week onboarding. No offshore black box. No hand-holding required. Taylor Basilio personally reviews every engagement in the first 30 days.
40–60% faster with AI-assisted delivery
Week 2 — in your standup, tools set up, work begins
80–85% automated test coverage from day one
30-day guarantee — Taylor intervenes personally if needed
Discovery & Technical Scoping with US CTO
Taylor Basilio or a senior architect reviews your stack, surfaces compliance requirements — FERPA, COPPA, WCAG for EdTech clients — and defines the sprint structure. You receive a written team recommendation before any commitment is made.
Pod Assembled, Tools Connected, Work Begins
Engineers introduced, environments provisioned, and your team is in your Slack, your Jira, and your standup before end of week two. No separate Hireplicity workflow — we join yours.
First Production-Ready PRs Merged
Real code, in your repo, reviewed and tested — not a demo. Every engineer works with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude as standard AI tools, delivering 40–60% faster feature velocity and 80–85% automated test coverage out of the box.
You Stop Managing Delivery and Start Reviewing Results
Weekly demos. Monthly retrospectives. Engineers who flag risks before they become blockers. Deployment to your environment follows your specifications — staging, production, CI/CD pipeline all configured and documented.
Our Clients
Trusted by 150+ EdTech and SaaS companies globally.
What 'transparent delivery' actually means here.
Not a philosophy statement. Four concrete commitments — each one specific enough that you can hold us to it.
You see working software every two weeks — not at the end of the contract.
Every sprint closes with a 30-minute demo of everything shipped in that cycle, open to your whole team. No status reports in place of actual product. If a sprint misses its commitments, you hear about it in the demo — not in a post-mortem three months later.
You get a weekly QA report — pass/fail rates, open defects, coverage percentage.
Not a summary. Not a green/amber/red dashboard. Actual numbers: test pass rate, open defects by severity, coverage delta since last sprint, and any WCAG or FERPA compliance flags that need your attention before the next release candidate.
You receive a written engagement plan within 48 hours of your first call.
Recommended engagement model, team composition, seniority levels, tech stack match, timeline estimate, and next steps. No obligation to proceed. No waiting a week for a sales team to build a deck. You have something concrete in writing before you make any commitment.
If something is off track, Taylor tells you directly — before you notice it yourself.
Taylor Basilio reviews every engagement in the first 30 days personally. If delivery is slipping, he surfaces it to you first — and owns the fix. If an engineer isn't performing, we replace them at our cost. If you're not satisfied after our intervention, we refund that month. No questions asked.
