Notes by Diego
01
Senior engineers, one at a time.
Add an engineer to a team you already have. You get the CV and the interviewer's notes for every one, and they work like anyone else on the team.

DevSignal places vetted engineers in your teams, from a single hire to a full pod with a lead, and handles the contracts, payroll, compliance and support.
One contract, one monthly invoice.

However your team wants to hire.
Add one engineer to a team you already have, or have us build a team around the work. Every engineer goes through the same vetting either way.

Forward-deployed AI engineers.
Engineers who sit with your business teams and build the internal agents and document workflows they ask for.

Pods with a lead.
When the work needs a team, we build one: a lead and senior engineers who own a product or a workflow together.
Working within a weekTwo of the bigger teams we've built.
An investment firm with $485B under management and an AI data lab with a $1B+ run rate. Both are still hiring through us.
Investment firm$485B AUM
We've worked with DevSignal for over a year. They assembled our pods quickly, and the engineers are building very complex workflows.
The team
- 2 Pods
- 6 AI forward-deployed engineers
- 2 Leads
The brief
The firm needed AI engineers who work directly with its teams on internal tools.
What we did
We assembled two pods, each three engineers and a lead. Every pod was working within a week.
Where it stands
Over a year in, the pods are building internal research agents and document workflows for deal teams.

The brief
The lab builds complex RL environments and constantly needs very experienced engineers.
What we did
Senior engineers on our team who have built RL environments ran the screening. Candidates co-built environments with them as part of the vetting. We delivered in weekly batches of four.
Where it stands
18 engineers placed so far, with new batches as the work grows.

How it works.
You talk to us once about the work. After that you meet engineers, not account managers.
-
Day 1
We scope it with your hiring manager.
The role or the project, the stack, who they report to, and whether it's one engineer or a team.
-
Within 5 days
You meet engineers we've already vetted.
Each one has been interviewed by a senior engineer who has done the same kind of work. You interview them and decide.
-
When you say yes
They start on real work.
Your delivery lead handles the paperwork and the first week. Add more engineers whenever the work needs them.
Three people look after your team.
Every account gets a delivery lead, a developer success lead and an engineering lead.
01
Delivery lead.
Your one point of contact. Owns the hiring plan and start dates, and sends a weekly update on every engineer.
One point of contact
02
Developer success lead.
Looks after the engineers: onboarding, regular check-ins, and anything that would make them more useful to your team.
Engineer check-ins
03
Engineering lead.
A senior engineer who sets the technical bar for your roles, runs the interviews and reviews the work as the team ships.
Interviews and code reviewThe paperwork is on us.
Sourcing, vetting, contracts, payroll, compliance and support. Here is what that means for each person who signs off.
Engineering leaders
A bar you can check.
- Every engineer interviewed by senior and staff engineers on a real codebase
- The interviewer's notes alongside every CV
- A replacement within 48 hours if someone isn't working out
Finance and procurement
One contract, one invoice.
- A monthly rate per engineer, all on one invoice
- One contract covers every engineer you add
- Rates agreed up front, by role and seniority
HR and legal
Nothing new to run.
- Background checks on every engineer before they start
- Payroll, local contracts and compliance handled by us

Questions from larger teams.
Anything else, email hello@devsignal.com. We reply within a day.
Can we hire just one engineer?
Yes. Many teams start with one engineer and add more as the work grows. Pods are there for when the work needs a whole team.
Do you take over the project?
No. We're not an agency that takes the project away. The engineers are embedded in your team, work in your tools and report to your leads.
Where are the engineers based?
Mostly Brazil and Argentina. They work remotely as full members of your team, and we handle their contracts and payroll locally.
Who runs the technical interview?
A bench of senior and staff engineers from companies like Coinbase, Meta and Google. For specialist work we use interviewers who have done that work themselves, so RL environments are screened by engineers who have built them.
How big can a team get?
As big as you need. We have run engagements of 50+ engineers for a single client, and we add engineers in batches at the pace you can onboard them.
How does pricing work?
A monthly rate per engineer, set by role and seniority, all on one invoice. We'll share exact numbers on a call.
