From $45/hr · month-to-month staff augmentation

Engineering partner for growth-stage companies
Start with the work
Share the Java version, framework, data layer and integrations your team uses. We shape the shortlist around feature delivery, maintenance or modernization. Review comparable production work and the responsibilities each candidate can take on.
A backend change can affect transactions, database migrations and connected services. Discuss failure handling, testing and compatibility with candidates. If messaging or distributed systems are central to the role, evaluate that experience directly.
Include deployment, monitoring, performance investigation and support expectations in the brief. Ask how the engineer diagnosed a production issue and verified a fix. Agree on team tools, code review and working-hour overlap before the engagement.
Technical fit
Tell us which skills are essential and which can be learned on the job. We match the search to your responsibilities, then your team evaluates the shortlist.

“Val came through for us big time. He provided us with top-tier engineers very quickly.”

“We were impressed with their cost, speed, and having a US-based interface.”

Before you decide
Java staff augmentation starts at $45/hr on month-to-month terms. The final quote depends on experience, responsibilities and the agreed schedule. Direct recruitment is a separate $7,999 service per successful hire; developer compensation is additional. Confirm scope and included services before hiring.
Odesa reports an average of 4.2 days from contract to first interview across engagements. Timing depends on your requirements, candidate availability and interview process. Agree on shortlist criteria and a target start date during the brief; the average is not a guaranteed onboarding date.
They work remotely: offshore from the EU and Eastern Europe, or nearshore from Latin America, with overlap on US hours agreed before the start. You contract with Odesa.co, a US company in Lighthouse Point, Florida, so terms, billing and support stay in the US. If the role must be on-site or hybrid, direct recruitment covers that.
Yes. Share the Java and framework versions, dependencies and planned changes. We match on relevant maintenance or modernization experience. Review how candidates would assess compatibility, test important workflows and manage database or integration changes.
Yes. Staff augmentation adds a developer to the team you manage. Define tools, responsibilities, coding standards and working-hour overlap before the engagement. Your team directs priorities and delivery, with Odesa as a point of contact throughout the engagement.
Specify the frameworks, messaging systems and production responsibilities you need. A Spring Boot service and a distributed transaction workflow require different depth. Use comparable project examples and technical interviews to assess the candidate’s fit.
Staff augmentation includes a two-week trial under agreed terms. Review fit, communication and delivery against the initial goals. Confirm notice, billing and replacement terms before work begins. Direct recruitment has a separate 90-day replacement guarantee defined by the agreement.
