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

Engineering partner for growth-stage companies
Start with the work
Moving a product to AWS, scaling a running system or untangling an existing account? We shape the shortlist around your compute, data, networking and deployment requirements. Review comparable production work before deciding who to interview.
Define the problem: an unpredictable cloud bill, slow deployments or recurring incidents. Look for experience evaluating capacity, usage, access controls and recovery plans. Agree on priorities and success measures before making architecture or spending commitments.
Your team directs the work. Confirm account access, change approvals, working-hour overlap and any on-call expectations before the engagement. Evaluate communication and production judgment alongside hands-on AWS experience.
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.

Client relationships

“We started seeing strong engineer profiles from Odesa within days, and the process from tech interview to onboarding was smooth and straightforward. The remote team Val built for us now feels like part of our in-house team and has contributed to multiple product rollouts over the past year.”

“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.”

Planning assumptions: staff costs use preset salary × location factor × 1.30, compared with hourly rate × 2,080 hours. Recruitment compares an assumed $25,000 agency fee with Odesa’s $7,999 fee per hire; compensation is excluded. This is not a quote or guaranteed saving.

Before you decide
AWS 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; engineer 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 the shortlist criteria and 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.
Tell us which current AWS certifications matter for the role. Review each candidate’s credentials and production experience during evaluation. Certification alone does not establish fit: discuss the AWS services, architecture decisions and incidents relevant to your workload.
Yes. Staff augmentation adds an engineer to the team you manage. Define the tools, responsibilities, access requirements and working-hour overlap before the engagement. Any incident response or on-call coverage must be agreed explicitly; it is not automatically included in an hourly role.
Include cloud cost analysis in your brief. Candidates can be evaluated on usage analysis, right-sizing and the tradeoffs behind capacity commitments or architecture changes. Any savings depend on your workload and current spend; agree on a baseline and measure results rather than assuming a fixed reduction.
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.
