Teams that trust Qilin's engineers.
"The Qilin developer felt like part of our team from week one. They owned the work the way we own our product, not like a contractor waiting on tickets."
Jaskaran KamboCEO, Spend The Bits"They put a senior full-stack engineer on our real-time portfolio app who was shipping from day one. It felt like hiring in-house, without the months of hiring."
Henry AnnHead of Americas, Allindex AG"The developer we brought on through Qilin was beyond our expectations. Genuinely senior, a clear communicator, and everything they shipped was high quality."
Abhishek KariwalCEO, ThinkFirst EducationBefore you hire.
How do you vet developers?
A multi-stage review: a real coding assessment, then a live interview covering both engineering and communication. Only the developers who clear it reach your shortlist.
What does the risk-free trial cover?
Start with a developer for 3 days. If it's not working, you don't continue and you don't pay for it — we'll match someone else or part ways cleanly.
What does "AI-accelerated" actually mean?
Our engineers are fluent with modern AI coding and testing tools, so more ships per week — while a senior human decides what's good enough to keep.
Which time zones do you cover?
Developers are matched to overlap with your working hours, so stand-ups and reviews happen live, not overnight.
How does billing work?
One clear monthly rate per developer, from $1,500, with no upfront cost. Month-to-month — scale up or down as the work changes.
How fast can someone start?
A matched shortlist in about 48 hours, and a developer in your team in roughly a week from your brief.
