Hire engineers from Dhaka, not contractors from a list

The engineers are employed here, work in one team with code review and shared standards, and are covered when someone is ill or leaves. A marketplace gives you an individual and no continuity; this gives you a team with a firm behind it.

Bangladesh Standard Time is UTC+6. That is a full working day overlap with the Gulf, India, South-East Asia and Australia, and a morning overlap with Europe. For North America we agree a fixed overlap window rather than pretending the whole day aligns.

Working professional English across the team, with written communication as the default so nothing important depends on catching a spoken nuance on a call. You meet the actual engineers before committing.

Three months, which is roughly how long it takes to become genuinely productive on an unfamiliar codebase. After that it runs month to month with an agreed notice period.

You do, from the first commit, in your own repository. Infrastructure runs in your accounts. Nothing is retained that would make replacing us expensive.
