Engineering partner for growth-stage companies
Start with the work
Define the APIs, integrations and existing codebase the engineer will own. We look for relevant experience with your framework, testing approach and production environment, whether you are adding a service or improving a mature application.
Clarify the database, background processing and data pipeline responsibilities in your brief. Include cloud infrastructure or machine learning only where the role needs it, so the search reflects the work your team actually needs done.
Review project examples, discuss architecture and test communication in your interviews. Your team assesses the shortlist and agrees on initial delivery goals before choosing who joins.
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
Python staff augmentation starts at $45/hr, with the final rate based on experience, responsibilities and availability. Engagements are month-to-month under agreed terms. Direct recruitment is $7,999 per successful hire with a 90-day replacement guarantee; the engineer’s compensation is separate.
Odesa reports an average of 4.2 days from contract to interview across its engagements. This is not a guaranteed start date for this role. Candidate availability, your interview process and notice periods determine the onboarding timeline.
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.
We focus on senior professionals and match the shortlist to the responsibilities of your role. Review each candidate’s production experience, code quality and communication in your technical interview. Years of experience alone are not a substitute for experience with systems like yours.
Yes. Staff augmentation adds an engineer to your existing team. Agree on working-hour overlap, onboarding, tools, coding standards and delivery goals before the start date. Your team directs the work, and Odesa stays involved as your point of contact.
Include Django, FastAPI, Flask and any specific database or deployment requirements in your brief. We use those requirements to shape the shortlist. Your technical interview should confirm experience with the parts of the stack the role will own.
Staff augmentation includes a two-week trial under the terms agreed before the engagement. Review fit, communication and delivery against your agreed goals during that period. Discuss replacement and billing terms with Odesa before the team member starts; direct recruitment has a separate 90-day guarantee.
