SOUND FAMILIAR?

You've tried solving this before.
It didn't work.

Every founder who calls us has already been down at least one of these roads. They all end the same way.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You've tried solving this before. It didn't work.

Every founder who calls us has already been down at least one of these roads. They all end the same way.

You tried hiring locally

You posted on LinkedIn, ran interviews, and maybe even used a recruiter. Three months later, you're still looking — or you hired someone at $150K+ who isn't moving the needle. Meanwhile, your runway's shorter and your product roadmap hasn't changed.

The result: 3-6 months lost, $150K+ committed, and you're still not shipping fast enough.

You tried freelancers

Upwork, referrals, a friend of a friend. The profile looked great. But three weeks in, you realize they can’t work independently, the code quality is a mess, deadlines keep slipping, and you’re spending more time managing them than actually building your product.

The result: Months of wasted effort, code you have to throw away, and you're back to square one.

You tried an agency

Toptal, BairesDev, or one of the others. $50K minimum, a sales rep who barely understood your product, and whoever was available on their bench. The developer was technically fine but didn't fit your team, your stage, or your way of working.

The result: Expensive, impersonal, and built for companies 10x your size. You're a number, not a partner.

HOW IT WORKS

Your journey with No Bull Code.

No forms, no sales reps, no resume spam. Here's what actually happens when you work with us.

You tell us what you're building

A 30-minute call with a technical founder — not a sales rep. We learn your product, your architecture, and what's actually slowing you down. If staffing isn't the answer, we'll tell you. If it is, we now know exactly what "the right senior engineer" means for your team.

You talk to a technical founder, not a recruiter

We learn your stack, stage, and what's actually blocked

We show you engineers we've already vetted

Every engineer in our network has already passed a 4-stage evaluation run by our technical founders — on real production challenges, not LeetCode. We hand-pick 2-3 senior engineers matched to your product context, with work samples and recorded technical interviews included.

Evaluated by engineers, not recruiters matching keywords

Matched to your product, stack, and team culture

They join your team and start shipping

Your engineer joins Slack, attends standup, and starts contributing to your codebase — as part of your team, not an outsider. You manage them directly. The difference is they cost half as much, they were properly evaluated before they started, and you didn't spend 6 months finding them.

Fully embedded in your team and processes

4 + hours daily timezone overlap guaranteed

Canadian contract. Transparent published rates. Cancel with 2 weeks notice. No lock-in, no minimums, no surprises.

TRANSPARENT PRICING

Real rates. Right here.

We only place senior and lead-level engineers. And unlike most firms, we don't make you "request a quote" to find out what that costs.

TECH LEAD / ARCHITECT

All prices in USD. Part-time and hourly options available. No hidden markups. No surprise invoices. Ever.

A senior full-stack engineer costs ~$150K/year in Toronto or the Bay Area. Through No Bull Code, the same caliber costs roughly half — giving your round 6+ extra months of runway.
