Odesa.co is a Florida-based, founder-led staff augmentation partner helping funded SaaS startups deploy senior-level engineers in under a week.
We work primarily with Seed through Series C technology companies that need to increase product velocity without expanding domestic burn. Our model is designed for startups that require embedded, full-time engineers who integrate directly into existing teams, workflows, and sprint cycles.
Unlike large staffing vendors, we operate as a boutique firm with a curated database of 250+ pre-vetted senior engineers. Candidates are technically screened, video verified for English proficiency and communication ability, and matched based on timezone alignment and cultural fit. Our average candidate delivery time is 4.2 days.
Our primary sourcing pipeline is Eastern Europe, where we maintain long-standing relationships with senior engineering talent across backend, frontend, AI/ML, cloud, and full-stack disciplines. We also support select placements across LATAM and the EU when appropriate for client requirements.
What differentiates Odesa.co is not geography, but structure. We focus on embedded integration, predictable delivery velocity, and capital efficiency. Clients maintain full IP ownership, operate under strict NDA frameworks, and benefit from a 2-week risk-free trial for staff augmentation engagements and a 90-day replacement guarantee for recruitment.
Recent engagements include AI and SaaS companies scaling engineering teams rapidly while maintaining runway discipline.
If you are a funded startup looking to extend engineering capacity without sacrificing quality or control, Odesa.co is built specifically for that purpose.
