Hire software developers who ship on day one
On your time zone. On your stack. Embedded into your team.
Hire software developers from our 85-person senior bench, embedded into your team with US, UK or German business-hour overlap. Scoped to your needs after a free call. Mutual NDA on day one, a 30-day risk-free trial, and no junior bait-and-switch.
Pick your market: USA · UK · Germany · Canada · UAE

Three ways to engage. Pick what fits your workflow.
Single Senior Engineer
Embedded into your team like a remote employee. Daily standups, your tools, your process.
Scoped to your needs, ask for a proposal
Best for: Filling a critical capacity gap on an existing engineering team.
Dedicated Pod
A 3 to 7 person pod with tech lead, engineers, QA and PM. Builds full features end-to-end.
Scoped to your needs, ask for a proposal
Best for: Shipping a product or major feature stream with regular check-ins.
Full Custom Build
Discovery → architecture → build → QA → launch → support, with a clear written scope agreed up front.
Scoped to your needs, ask for a proposal
Best for: Greenfield builds where you want delivery accountability, not just bodies.
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.
Far less than a full in-house team
Same engineering quality for far less than a full in-house team or US/UK agency, freeing up real money you can put back into product.
Common questions about hiring through Timeline Digital
How fast can we start?
Typical onboarding is 5 to 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. We accept short single-engineer engagements as well as longer pod engagements, which run until production-quality output stabilises. A short discovery engagement, with regular check-ins, is 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.
