A 300-person US technology company needed to scale their engineering capacity without the overhead and timeline of US hiring. With senior software engineers in the US commanding $150,000–$200,000+ annually, plus benefits, recruitment costs, and ramp-up time, expanding the team domestically was expensive and slow. They needed experienced developers who could integrate seamlessly with their existing workflows and deliver production-quality code from day one.
NKKTech provided a dedicated team of 4 senior full-stack developers who work exclusively for this client as an extension of their US engineering team. Each engineer has 5+ years of professional experience and works within the client's tools, processes, and sprint cycles.
The team operates with daily standups, shared Slack channels, and Jira boards — identical to how the client's US-based engineers work. With Vietnam's timezone (UTC+7), there's meaningful overlap with US business hours for real-time collaboration, plus the added benefit of asynchronous work that extends the effective development day.
At $3,000–$4,000 per engineer per month, the client gets senior-level talent at roughly 60% below what equivalent US engineers would cost — with no recruitment fees, no benefits overhead, and no ramp-up delays.
