Hire CircleCI developer

Total cost of ownership goes far beyond base salary. When you Hire CircleCI developer in-house you absorb recruiter fees, onboarding, payroll taxes, benefits, hardware, training, and inevitable downtime. Outstaffing through smartbrain.io bundles all of that into a single transparent hourly rate. You pay only for productive work, with no obligations for vacation, sick leave, or severance. Our rates are typically 35-45 % lower than the fully-loaded cost of a senior US engineer, yet quality remains top-tier because every developer is pre-vetted through live coding and real pipeline assessments. The savings compound when you remember time-to-hire—48 hours instead of 8-12 weeks—which converts directly into faster feature delivery and revenue acceleration.

IP security is handled on multiple layers. Every CircleCI developer signs a strict NDA and Work-Made-For-Hire agreement before accessing repositories. We provision isolated VPNs, enforce SSO with MFA, and can deploy your own managed GitHub or GitLab runners so code never leaves your control. All workstations run encrypted disks and endpoint monitoring, while contract terms explicitly assign all deliverables and derivative works to your company. Our compliance framework aligns with SOC 2 Type II, giving you audit trails for every commit and pipeline run.

No. We maintain a global bench but match you with engineers who guarantee at least 4 hours of daily overlap with your core team. Daily stand-ups, Slack channels, and shared documentation in Confluence or Notion ensure friction-free hand-offs. Many clients actually gain velocity as work continues while their local team sleeps, with pipelines optimised overnight and ready for morning review.

Contracts are month-to-month with a simple 14-day notice period. Need a shorter engagement for a migration? No problem. Want to convert a developer to full-time later? We include a fair buy-out option. This flexibility lets you align talent costs precisely with project milestones instead of committing to annual salaries upfront.

Only the top 2 % make our roster. Screening begins with resume and portfolio curation, followed by a live coding test focused on Bash, YAML, and Docker. Next is a real-world pipeline challenge: candidates must optimise a purposely slow CircleCI project within 90 minutes. Finally, we conduct soft-skill and English fluency interviews. The result: proven engineers ready to contribute on day one.

Your engagement includes a replacement guarantee. If performance or cultural fit misses the mark within the first two weeks, we will swap the developer at no extra cost—usually in under 48 hours. Our retention rate is 96 %, but you always have a safety net.

Speed is our hallmark. After a 15-minute discovery call we shortlist matching CircleCI experts within 6 hours. You interview selected candidates the same or next day, sign the digital statement of work, and your new engineer onboards inside your repositories within 48 hours. This compressed timeline accelerates backlog burn-down and helps you hit critical release dates.
