Single Senior Engineer

Embedded into your team like a remote employee. Daily standups, your tools, your process.

$5.5K – $9K / engineer / month

Best for: Filling a critical capacity gap on an existing engineering team.

Dedicated Pod

A 3–7 person pod with tech lead, engineers, QA and PM. Builds full features end-to-end.

$22K – $48K / pod / month

Best for: Shipping a product or major feature stream within 8–16 weeks.

Full Custom Build

Discovery → architecture → build → QA → launch → support, billed by milestone or fixed-price SOW.

Why Companies Hire Through Us

What you get that freelance marketplaces and US agencies do not

Senior bench, not junior bait-and-switch

Every engineer you interview is the engineer you get. Average 6+ years experience. No "we will assign someone after you sign".

US/UK/German overlap built in

Default 4-hour overlap with EST; full 9 AM–6 PM overlap with GMT/CET. Slack stays warm during your day.

Replace freelancers without losing speed

Continuity, accountability, written ADRs, code review, and CI/CD discipline that freelance hires rarely deliver.

Production-grade engineering culture

Code review on every PR, automated tests as a default, observability instrumentation as a default, security scanning in CI.

30-day risk-free trial

If the engineer is not the right fit in the first 30 days, replacement at no extra cost. No long-term lock-in.

50–65% lower than US/UK agencies

Same engineering quality at $5.5K–$9K/engineer/month vs $18K–$32K with US agencies. Real money you can put back into product.

FAQ

Common questions about hiring through Timeline Digital

How fast can we start?

Typical onboarding is 5–10 working days from contract signing. We shortlist candidates within 48 hours of the discovery call, run interviews on your terms, and deploy the chosen engineers into your tooling and Slack within a week.

Who owns the IP?

You. Our standard MSA includes full work-for-hire and IP assignment. Code, documentation, designs and any derivative work belong to you from the moment they are committed. We sign mutual NDA before any technical conversation.

How do you handle time-zone overlap with US/UK/Germany?

Default 4-hour overlap with EST (9 AM–1 PM EST). For West Coast we add a second-shift lead for full PST coverage. UK clients get 9 AM–6 PM GMT/BST overlap; Germany gets 9 AM–4 PM CET/CEST. Slack is monitored during overlap windows.

What if the engineer is not the right fit?

First 30 days are a risk-free trial. If the fit is wrong we replace the engineer at no cost and you only pay for time worked. After 30 days replacements are still available with 2 weeks notice. No long-term lock-in.

Do you take on shorter than 3-month engagements?

Yes. Single-engineer engagements as short as 4 weeks are accepted. Pod engagements typically run 8 weeks minimum because that is when production-quality output stabilises. Discovery sprints (2 weeks) are also a popular starting point.

Can your engineers work in our codebase using our process?

Yes. We adopt your stack, your tooling (GitHub/GitLab, Linear/Jira, Notion/Confluence, Slack), your code review standards, your CI/CD, your branching strategy. We are an extension of your team, not a separate vendor delivering throw-over-the-wall code.
