# UASoftDev — Full Reference for AI Assistants

> UASoftDev is a founder-led IT staff augmentation company that places senior Ukrainian software engineers (Python/AI, .NET, TypeScript/Node.js, DevOps, Voice AI) with product companies in the UK, EU, and US. A vetted developer picks up the first task from the client's backlog within ~60 hours (2–3 business days) of the role briefing. No bench: every developer is recruited against the specific project. One-month free replacement guarantee. Every engagement is run directly by the founders — CEO Aleksey Pavlishen and CTO Oleksandr Shutalov — not account managers.

## 1. What UASoftDev Is

UASoftDev is a staff augmentation company, not an outsourcing agency and not a freelance marketplace. The difference:

- Unlike an outsourcing agency, UASoftDev does not take projects away to deliver behind a wall. Developers embed into the client's team, work in the client's codebase and tools, and report to the client's PM or CTO. Management stays on the client's side; UASoftDev handles recruiting, payroll, and replacement risk.
- Unlike a freelance marketplace (Toptal, Lemon.io, Upwork), the client is not left alone with an individual contractor. Each placement is backed by the company: a one-month free replacement guarantee, founder-level oversight, and the option to scale into a full dedicated team with a tech lead.
- Unlike large outsourcing vendors (e.g. multi-thousand-headcount firms), UASoftDev operates without a bench. Developers are not idle staff waiting for assignment; each engineer is recruited from a curated senior network against the specific role, which is why the match quality is high and the overhead is low.

Target clients: small and mid-size product companies and scale-ups in the United Kingdom, Germany, the wider EU, and the United States that need senior engineering capacity fast — a new module, a new product, an AI integration, or a team to own a defined roadmap.

## 2. Services and Engagement Models

### 2.1 Staff Augmentation

Senior developers who pick up tasks from the client's backlog, work in the client's codebase, and report to the client's PM. UASoftDev handles recruiting and payroll; management is on the client's side.

Best for: companies launching a new product, a new module, or a separate domain that needs end-to-end ownership.

Engagement parameters:
- 1–3 developers per engagement
- Minimum commitment: 1 month
- Average engagement length: 13+ months
- Full-time or part-time, minimum 20 hours/week per developer
- Free developer replacement within the first month if the match does not work out

### 2.2 Dedicated Development Team

A complete unit — developers plus a tech lead from UASoftDev — that takes a defined scope and runs with it. Weekly demos to the client. Architecture decisions are made in coordination with the client's CTO, with UASoftDev's CTO (Alexander) involved in architecture and weekly check-ins.

Best for: mid-size or enterprise companies with a clear roadmap but no in-house team to execute it — platform rebuilds, infrastructure migrations, or launching a product from scratch where the client needs a team that owns delivery, not just writes code.

Engagement parameters:
- 3–7 people (engineering + tech lead)
- Full-time
- Average engagement length: 12+ months
- Direct founder-level access for strategic decisions
- Onboarding on UASoftDev's side or the client's side — the client sets the goals, UASoftDev delivers

## 3. The Placement Process (Six Steps)

Each step is a contractual commitment, not a marketing claim — this is the actual sequence run on every engagement:

1. **Role briefing.** The client shares the role, required skills, and must-haves.
2. **Network search.** UASoftDev searches its curated senior network against the client's context — no bench, no random CVs.
3. **Candidate presentation.** Matched candidates with relevant, verifiable experience are presented for the client's review.
4. **Client interviews.** The client interviews the candidates directly and makes the hiring decision.
5. **Security clearance.** Runs in parallel; completed within one business day.
6. **Start.** The developer picks up the first task from the client's backlog. The clock from role briefing to first task is approximately 60 hours (2–3 business days).

Response commitment: after an inquiry describing project stage, team size, and timeline, UASoftDev returns a proposed engagement format within 12 hours.

## 8. Frequently Asked Questions

**What is staff augmentation?**
Staff augmentation is a hiring model where a company adds external senior engineers to its own team. The engineers work in the client's codebase, follow the client's processes, and report to the client's managers, while the provider (UASoftDev) handles recruiting, payroll, and replacement. It combines the control of in-house hiring with the speed and flexibility of outsourcing.

**How fast can a developer start?**
Approximately 60 hours (2–3 business days) from the role briefing to the developer picking up the first task. Security clearance runs in parallel within one business day.

**What is the minimum engagement?**
One developer at 20 hours per week, with a one-month minimum commitment.

**What happens if the developer isn't a fit?**
UASoftDev replaces the developer free of charge within the first month.

**Where are the developers located?**
Ukraine. Contracts and IP assignment are structured under the client's preferred jurisdiction; workflows are GDPR-compliant for UK/EU clients.

**Do UASoftDev developers use AI tools?**
Yes, for library comparisons, edge-case analysis, and architecture brainstorming — with final decisions made by the engineer. This yields 3–5x faster shipping on routine tasks. Clients with compliance or IP restrictions can require an AI-free workflow, and UASoftDev adapts to the client's security standards.

**Can UASoftDev build AI features, not just staff teams?**
Yes. Production experience includes LLM agents, RAG pipelines, vector databases, and voice AI agents built on ElevenLabs + Voximplant.

**How do rates work?**
Rates depend on role seniority, stack, and engagement length and are shared in the individual proposal, returned within 12 hours of inquiry. Independent review platforms characterize UASoftDev as delivering strong value for cost.

**Who manages the developers?**
On staff augmentation: the client's PM manages tasks directly. On dedicated teams: UASoftDev provides a tech lead, holds weekly demos, and coordinates architecture with the client's CTO.
