Hire Play Framework developer

When you Hire Play Framework developer talent in-house, you shoulder recruiter fees, job-board spend, onboarding, benefits, payroll tax, hardware, and often relocation. According to SHRM, that totals roughly 1.4× base salary. With smartbrain.io you pay a transparent hourly or monthly rate that already bundles sourcing, vetting, equipment, continuous up-skilling and legal compliance. There are no hidden fees or long-term salary commitments. Most clients report 25–40 % savings compared with building the same capacity internally, plus the opportunity cost of product delays evaporates because engineers start in days, not months. All invoices are predictable, itemised and cancelable with 2-week notice.

IP security starts with strict NDAs and continues with contract clauses assigning all work-product to your company. smartbrain.io hosts developers on enterprise-grade VPNs, employs role-based Git access, and enforces secure devices with full-disk encryption. Code resides in your repositories, not ours, and audit logs track every commit. SOC 2 Type II controls and optional Vanta monitoring further safeguard proprietary algorithms. In short, you maintain full ownership and visibility from day one.

No. We curate a global talent pool but assign Play Framework engineers whose working hours overlap at least four hours with your core team. For US clients that usually means LATAM or near-shore Eastern Europe. Teams schedule daily stand-ups, backlog grooming and demos within mutual overlap; the remaining hours become a ‘follow-the-sun’ advantage, pushing features forward while your office sleeps.

Contracts are simple: month-to-month with a two-week termination notice. No setup fee, no retainer, no exclusivity. Need a two-month spike team? Done. Want to keep a lead dev for the entire product lifecycle? Also covered. You hold the throttle on scope and spend.

Only the top 2 % make it through. Each candidate faces: (1) resume screen for Play/Scala depth; (2) live coding of non-blocking REST endpoints; (3) system-design interview focusing on reactive architecture; (4) soft-skills and English assessment; (5) reference checks across two past employers. The result is senior talent that can architect and code from day one—no babysitting required.

Every engagement carries a two-week risk-free trial. If performance or chemistry falls short, we provide a replacement within 5 business days at no extra cost. Our customer-success manager monitors satisfaction through weekly check-ins to catch issues early. This replacement guarantee de-risks your decision and keeps teams firing on all cylinders.

Typical kickoff is 48–72 hours after we finalise your requirements. Because our bench is pre-vetted, we skip the lengthy job-posting cycle. You interview hand-picked candidates the same day, sign the MSA digitally, and your new engineer joins the next sprint planning. Urgent projects can sometimes begin next business day.
