FAQ: Astro Staff Augmentation

Why not hire in-house instead of outstaffing Astro engineers?

Hiring in-house means advertising, interviewing, onboarding, and HR compliance—often three months of work before code is written. When you Hire Astro developer talent through smartbrain.io you inherit our vetted network, so your first interview happens within 24 hours. That speed directly reduces opportunity cost: every week a feature slips can translate into lost revenue, missed SEO gains, or competitor advantage. Additionally, internal hires carry hidden costs—benefits, taxes, equipment, retention bonuses—that add 20-30 % to salary. Outstaffing converts these fixed expenses into a predictable monthly line item and lets you ramp head-count down when priorities shift. IP stays protected by iron-clad NDAs and code repositories under your control. For CTOs juggling tight roadmaps, the question isn’t “why outstaff?” but “why delay delivery?”.

What is the real cost to hire Astro developers in 2025?

The cost to hire Astro developers varies by geography, seniority, and contract type. Internal US salaries for senior Astro talent average $140k-$180k plus 25 % in overhead. Through smartbrain.io you pay an all-inclusive hourly rate typically 30-40 % lower, with no recruiting fees or retention bonuses. Because we manage payroll, benefits, and local taxes, you avoid legal exposure in multiple jurisdictions. Most clients find total yearly savings exceeding $60k per engineer while maintaining enterprise-grade quality and IP security.

How is my IP protected when I use Astro staff augmentation?

smartbrain.io signs a mutual NDA before discovery, and every outstaffed Astro engineer signs a tri-party confidentiality agreement that assigns all work-product IP to your company. Repositories stay in your GitHub or GitLab organization; access is revoked instantly on roll-off. We operate audited security policies (SOC 2 in process) and can accommodate VPN, SSO, or zero-trust networking on request.

Will time-zone differences hurt collaboration?

Our global network spans the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, so we provide profiles that match or overlap your core hours. If you need 100 % US-time-zone coverage we shortlist only those candidates. For follow-the-sun DevOps we create blended teams across multiple regions, adding documentation and hand-off ceremonies to ensure continuity.

What contract terms do you offer for Astro augmentation?

Contracts start at one month and can be cancelled with 14-day notice. Many clients use month-to-month flexibility to scale from a single Astro island expert to a full squad during peak roadmap periods, then scale down when the backlog clears—no severance or HR complexity required.

How are Astro candidates vetted before I see them?

Every candidate completes a four-stage vetting process: live coding, architecture interview, English assessment, and reference check. Less than 3 % pass. You receive detailed scorecards and can run an additional technical interview if desired. This methodology ensures only senior-level Astro developers reach your inbox.

Is there a replacement guarantee for Astro contractors?

If an engineer under-performs, we provide a free replacement within seven days—no questions asked. In the rare case a suitable match cannot be found you can end the contract immediately with zero penalties, protecting your timeline and budget.
