Senior engineers, proposed in 48 hours.
Hiring a senior engineer in the US takes three to six months and 20–30% of first-year salary in fees. Cyfox proposes matched, pre-vetted engineers in about 48 hours — you interview everyone, they work your hours in your tools, and you can scale down with 30 days notice. The hiring gap stops being a roadmap gap.
[ 01 / the bench ]
Stacks we staff today.
Every engineer on the bench has already passed a four-stage vetting — code screen, live system-design session, communication interview, and reference check — before a profile ever reaches you. You interview the finalists, not the funnel.
Individual role pages with rate cards and sample profiles are rolling out stack-by-stack. If your stack is not listed, ask — the bench is deeper than the list, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot staff something well.

A US senior engineering hire costs $160,000–$220,000 fully loaded, takes a quarter or two to land, and is expensive to unwind when the roadmap changes. A Cyfox engineer is a flat monthly rate, starts in days, and flexes with the work.
That is not an argument against hiring — it is an argument for sequencing. Keep your architects in-house; rent elastic delivery capacity around them.
[ 03 / questions ]
Hiring through Cyfox — FAQ.
How does hiring developers through Cyfox work?
Tell us the role and the stack. Within about 48 hours you get matched, pre-vetted senior profiles. You interview and approve every engineer; most start within one to two weeks, working in your tools with at least four hours of daily overlap with your timezone.
How much does a dedicated developer cost?
A flat monthly rate per role — typically $8,000–$13,000 per month for senior engineers depending on stack and seniority. That is all-inclusive: no recruiting fees, benefits, payroll taxes, equipment, or severance exposure.
Can I hire a single developer, or only full teams?
Either. Staff augmentation places one or more engineers inside your existing team under your management; dedicated teams come as a self-contained unit with QA and a delivery lead. Both scale up or down with 30 days notice.
What if the developer is not a good fit?
You can request a replacement at any time, and we guarantee a replacement within two weeks in the contract. The first two weeks of any new engineer are also risk-free — if it is not working, you do not pay for them.
Do your developers work US hours?
Every engagement guarantees a minimum of four hours of daily overlap with your timezone, Eastern through Pacific. Standups, reviews, and pairing happen inside that window.
