It depends on the engagement format:
Either way it's post-payment — you pay for work already delivered.
Payments are based on how much time a candidate tracked on a client’s project.
We accept payment via Upwork, Wise, Payoneer, crypto wallets such as Binance, or a direct transfer to our US bank account.
New Wave Devs is an IT staff augmentation and outstaffing partner for startups and scaleups. We find, vet, and manage dedicated remote developers who join your team and work inside your process — you direct the work, we handle sourcing, HR, and payroll.
We started working with the Global market in 2019 and have a strong understanding of how different markets work. Our first company at New Wave Devs was a client in Saudi Arabia with whom we grew from a startup to an enterprise level and we are still working together. You may check our partner here.
No minimum and no lock-in. Outstaffing is billed month to month, and you can scale up, scale down, or stop whenever your roadmap changes — just give us reasonable notice. In practice most engagements run much longer: the average at New Wave Devs is around two years, and some clients have been with us since 2019.
Our core stacks are Ruby on Rails, React, Next.js, JavaScript and Node, Python, Golang, Java, Rust, Flutter and iOS, plus AI and machine learning. We also cover Angular, Vue, React Native, Kotlin, UI/UX and data engineering. Tell us the stack you need — if we don't have someone on the bench, we source for it.
No. There are no upfront fees and no recruitment fee — you start paying only once a developer is working on your project. The hourly rate already covers sourcing, vetting, contracts, and payroll, so there are no separate charges on top.
All our candidates can write and speak in English, and part of our candidates know how to speak other languages, like Arabic, Ukrainian, Turkish, Albanian, etc.
Our core team is in Ukraine, and most of our engineers are based in Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Poland, Romania and nearby), backed by a vetted global bench. Everyone works remotely with solid overlap across US, UK, and EU time zones.
Every candidate goes through a multi-step vetting process before they reach you:
Only proven mid and senior engineers make it onto our bench — roughly the top 7% of applicants.
Our rates depend on seniority. A middle developer is 50 to 60 USD per hour, a senior developer is 70 to 85 USD per hour, and a team lead is 85 to 100 USD per hour. The rate covers the developer, sourcing, vetting, contracts, and payroll, with no recruitment fee and no hidden costs. Billing is monthly or hourly, month to month, and you can cancel anytime. Every engagement includes a 7 day free replacement.
Sure, why not.
Most of our developers are mid+ to senior engineers with 4 to 20+ years of hands-on experience.
We have legal entities in the USA and Ukraine. At the same time, we all work remotely, and our core team work often together in different parts of the world.
Yes. Our default is outstaffing — dedicated developers billed for tracked time — but we can also take on fixed-price, project-based work when the scope is clear. Tell us what you need and we'll suggest the best fit.
You'll usually get 2–3 matched, vetted profiles within 48 hours. After you interview and pick, a developer can start within a few days.
Send us your requirements through the contact form — the stack you need, seniority, and timeline. We'll come back with a few questions about your project, then send 2–3 matched profiles within 48 hours.
Yes. Developers log their hours in Toggl, and you get the time reports — so you always see what was worked on and what you're billed for.
Please, let us know immediately by sending an email to requests@newwavedevs.com. We will get in touch right away.
If a developer isn't the right fit, you get a free replacement within the first 7 days — at no extra cost. We match you with another vetted candidate quickly so your project keeps moving.
You do — you keep 100% ownership of all code and IP. Every engagement is covered by an NDA and a contract from day one.
Most of our engineers are in Eastern Europe and keep hours that overlap with US, UK, and EU teams — so you get real-time collaboration, not just async handoffs.
Dedicated. The developers you hire work as part of your team, in your tools and sprints — not split across other clients.
Yes. Start with a single developer and scale to a dedicated team as your roadmap grows — same vetting, same 48-hour matching.
Yes — full-time, part-time, or hourly, whatever fits. Staff augmentation lets you add capacity for a sprint or a spike and scale back afterward.
