Frequently Asked Questions

What is the true cost to hire dbt developers through smartbrain.io versus in-house recruitment?

When you Hire dbt developer talent in-house, you absorb recruiter fees, signing bonuses, payroll tax, benefits, and inevitably 1–2 months of lost productivity while the role is open. Our outstaffing model rolls all of that into a single, predictable hourly rate—typically **40–55 %** lower TCO compared with a US-based FTE. You pay only for productive hours, with no hidden overhead. Additionally, contracts are month-to-month, giving you the flexibility to scale resources up or down without severance liabilities. Many clients reinvest the savings into data quality initiatives, accelerating ROI even further.

How does smartbrain.io vet dbt engineers before we ever see a resume?

Every candidate passes a four-stage process: (1) asynchronous SQL & dbt fundamentals test; (2) live code review with a staff data engineer; (3) soft-skills and English-fluency interview; and (4) reference checks from prior projects. Only the top **3 %** are accepted, ensuring that when you Hire dbt developer resources from us, you receive professionals capable of owning models, tests, and CI/CD pipelines from Day 1.

Can we work in our own time zone without delays?

Yes. We maintain a global bench, so you can choose dbt experts in North-American, EMEA, or APAC time zones. Core-overlap of at least four hours is guaranteed, and all engineers attend your stand-ups, sprint reviews, and Slack channels. Our clients tell us this real-time collaboration makes augmented talent indistinguishable from full-timers.

How is our intellectual property protected when we engage outstaffed dbt talent?

All engineers sign strict NDAs and IP assignment agreements before onboarding. Repositories remain within your GitHub organization, and access is provisioned via SSO. We enforce SOC-2-aligned security controls, VPN policies, and mandatory device encryption. Since code lives in YOUR repos, full ownership is transferred at each commit.

What happens if a developer is not a fit?

Smartbrain.io offers a two-week, no-risk trial. If performance or cultural fit falls short, we replace the engineer within 48 hours—free of charge. Our 97% success rate means replacements are rare, but the guarantee keeps your roadmap protected.

How quickly can we start after signing the MSA?

Most clients conduct first interviews within two business days and have their chosen dbt developer committing code by Day 5. Fast-track onboarding is possible for urgent incidents—our record is 24 hours from call to production merge.

What contract terms and minimums apply?

Engagements run month-to-month with a 40-hour weekly minimum per developer. You can scale down or terminate with 14-day notice—far simpler than the legal complexities of firing an employee. Volume discounts kick in at three or more engineers.
