Senior engineering talent, placed into startups that need to scale.
GrowRoster is a specialized talent placement firm for Seed to Series B startups. We place senior QA, Full-Stack, and DevOps engineers into your team — contract or permanent, starting in 10 days.
The hiring cycle is broken for early-stage startups
Hiring a senior engineer takes 3–6 months. Add onboarding and it's 9 months before they're operating at full capacity. For a startup trying to hit Series A metrics or close an enterprise pilot, that's too slow.
At the same time, most outsourcing options send juniors at senior prices, work in timezones 12 hours off from yours, and disappear the moment something gets hard.
GrowRoster was built to solve that gap. Senior engineers only. Real timezone overlap. Month-to-month contracts. And you own every line of code the placed engineer writes.
Average time from intro call to first commit
5+ years production experience at startups — no juniors learning on your time
Cancel or scale anytime with 15 days notice — no annual lock-in
You own the code, repos, and documentation from day one
What we stand for
Senior engineers only
Every engineer we place has shipped production code at startups before. You don't pay us to train people. You pay for a senior engineer who can own their work from day one.
Placed into your team, not outsourced to ours
The engineers we place join your Slack, attend your standups, review your PRs. They report to your tech lead and follow your process — because they're on your team.
Month-to-month always
You shouldn't sign a year-long contract to find out if we're a fit. Start month-to-month. Scale up, scale down, or stop anytime.
Your timezone, your hours
We align to your working hours for real-time collaboration. Standups, code reviews, and Slack replies happen when you need them.
Honest about fit
We'll tell you if we're not the right fit and point you somewhere better. A client who's not a good match costs everyone time.
You own the code
Every line of code, every repo, every document belongs to you. Always. No holdbacks, no lock-in on deliverables.
Right for you if...
Startups that need to move fast
You're pre-PMF or just past it. You need engineering velocity without the overhead of building a team from scratch. We plug in and ship.
Teams preparing for scale
Enterprise pilots, Series B demos, SOC 2 audits. Your QA and infrastructure need to hold up to scrutiny. We make sure they do.
Companies filling specific gaps
You have a team but need to move faster on a specific area — a new product line, a platform migration, a compliance push. We fit in.
Your next senior engineer is 10 days away.
Book a 30-minute intro call. No deck, no hard sell — we'll tell you if we can help or point you somewhere better.
