The Problem

We know what went wrong last time.

Most CTOs have been burned by offshore agencies. We built Arcora to be the opposite of that experience.

Communication Gaps

Developers who nod on calls but miss the point. Timezone misalignment. Updates that say "in progress" for three weeks straight.

Code You Rewrote

Delivered code that "works" but fails every code review. No tests, no documentation, no adherence to your architecture. You end up rebuilding it.

Onboarding That Took Months

Weeks of back-and-forth before a developer even touches your repo. By the time they're productive, the sprint plan is already obsolete.

Why Arcora

Built different. On purpose.

Three structural differences that make Arcora fundamentally unlike any agency you've worked with before.

01

Founder-Led Quality Assurance

Our founder led Shopify Growth at a VC-backed US company and ran global sales & partnerships at a product company. He's been on the client side — he knows what good delivery looks like because he's managed US product teams. Every developer we place is vetted by someone who understands the buyer's expectations, not just the code.

02

48-Hour Onboarding

Your developer joins your Slack, your repo, your standup — within 48 hours of signing. Not 48 hours of "getting aligned." 48 hours to first commit. We pre-match from our bench of vetted engineers so there's zero cold-start delay.

03

14-Day Quality Guarantee

If a developer doesn't meet your code review standards in the first 14 days, we replace them at zero cost. No awkward conversations, no rebilling. We absorb the risk because we trust our vetting process.

Process

From call to first commit in 48 hours.

No procurement gauntlet. No three-week "alignment phase." Here's exactly what happens.

1

Tell Us What You Need

30-minute call with our founder. Define the role: stack, seniority, timezone overlap, sprint cadence. We scope it with you — not a sales rep.

2

We Match & You Interview

Within 24 hours, we present 2–3 pre-vetted candidates from our bench. You run your own technical screen. If none fit, we keep going at no cost.

3

They Join Your Team

Your developer gets added to your Slack, GitHub, Jira, and daily standup. They work your hours, follow your processes, ship your code. They're your team — we handle payroll and HR.

Transparent Pricing

No sales calls to see a number.

We publish our rates because transparency builds trust. Compare these to fully-loaded US hiring costs of $240K–$360K/yr for a senior engineer.

The person behind Arcora.

SP

Sumant Palve

Founder & Managing Director

I didn't build Arcora from a recruiter's desk. I built it from the client's chair.

As former Head of Shopify Growth at a VC-backed US company and Global Head of Sales & Partnerships at a product company, I spent years working with US and UK product teams. I saw firsthand what happens when companies hire the wrong offshore developers — missed sprints, code rewrites, and frustrated engineering leaders.

The developers weren't the problem. The agencies were. They didn't understand how US product teams work because no one on their side had ever been inside one. I have. So I built the agency I wish existed when I was the buyer.

FAQ

Every objection, answered.

What if the developer doesn't work out?
We replace them within 48 hours at zero cost during the first 14 days. After that, we offer a 1-week transition period with a replacement developer onboarded in parallel. We absorb the risk — you never pay for a developer who doesn't meet your standards.
What timezone do your developers work in?
Your timezone. We guarantee a minimum 4-hour daily overlap with US EST/PST or EU CET hours. Many of our developers work fully shifted schedules to match US business hours. You set the standup time — they show up.
How do you ensure code quality?
Every developer is vetted through a live coding assessment reviewed by our technical team. They follow your code review process, your CI/CD pipeline, your testing requirements. We don't impose our workflow — we adapt to yours. If code quality slips, we address it within 24 hours or replace the developer.
What's the minimum engagement?
For flex engagements: 20 hours/week, 1-month minimum. For dedicated developers: 3-month minimum (with a 14-day out clause if quality doesn't meet standards). For engineering teams: 3-month minimum with quarterly renewal. No long-term lock-ins.
Who owns the IP?
You do. 100%. All engagements are under US contracts through GreenTec LLC (Miami, FL) with explicit work-for-hire and IP assignment clauses. Everything your developer creates belongs to you from day one.
How is Arcora different from Toptal, Turing, or Andela?
Those are marketplaces — they match you with freelancers from a database. Arcora is an engineering company. Our developers are our team, vetted by our founder who writes production code daily. We don't charge platform fees or conversion premiums. Our rates are 40–60% lower than Toptal with the same quality bar, and we don't require $50K conversion fees to hire a developer full-time.
Do you work with EU companies too?
Yes. We serve clients across the US and EU. For EU engagements, we ensure GDPR-compliant workflows and can structure contracts through our US entity or accommodate EU-specific requirements. Our developers regularly work with teams in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, and Nordics.
Can you build entire products, not just staff augmentation?
Yes. Our Engineering Team tier provides a full pod — tech lead, developers, QA — that owns sprint delivery against your roadmap. Ideal for startups building MVPs or companies launching new product lines. You retain full product ownership and IP.
