Our top engineers stay. No delays due to attrition. No loss of knowledge and experience.

When one hire carries
all the pressure

  • You are not hiring extra capacity for a greenfield project. You are adding one developer to an existing team, often in the middle of delivery pressure, technical debt, or missed deadlines.

  • That one person will touch critical parts of your codebase, influence technical decisions, and affect how fast your team can move. If they need hand holding, your senior developers slow down. If they lack judgment, defects and rework increase. If they leave, you are back where you started

  • Hiring one developer is never neutral. It either removes pressure from the team, or it adds more

Meet a few of our developers

To make this more concrete, here are examples of the kind of developers CTOs work with via DevOn

Hugo van der Ster | Senior Backend Developer
Hugo

Hugo van der Ster
Senior Backend Developer

Hugo typically joins teams that are under delivery pressure. He works independently on complex backend logic, improves test coverage, and helps teams make pragmatic technical decisions without slowing them down

Dexter Esajas
Senior Full Stack Developer

Dexter is often added to teams that need someone who can connect frontend and backend work. He helps stabilize delivery, improves code quality, and supports teammates by raising the overall engineering bar

Prakasha Nagaraju
Senior Software Engineer

Prakasha specializes in working within existing systems. He focuses on reliability, refactoring, and using AI to reduce repetitive work across testing, documentation, and maintenance

is this the right fit?

This is a strong fit if you want one senior developer who reduces risk and lifts your team. The cheapest option often ends up costing more, because you lose time coaching, you ship more defects, or you have to replace the developer and start over. In many cases you need two developers to compensate for one weak hire.
