The engineers behind them
didn't come from Silicon Valley.
They came from Prague and Bratislava. So do ours.
US hiring is broken. You know this.

Average Total Comp

Average time to fill a senior engineering role in the US market. Your roadmap doesn't wait four months.

Average US Engineer Tenure
Before they leave for the next offer. You're not building a team. You're running a revolving door.
Czech engineers average 3–4 years per role. They’re not interviewing for leverage.
How the Math Works
The savings aren’t from the engineer. They’re from the system.
What US companies eliminate by hiring Czech engineers isn’t engineering quality — it’s the infrastructure cost around every US hire. Employer payroll tax, benefits, equity, office costs, and recruiter fees that add 40–60% on top of every US salary. The engineer isn’t cheaper. The structure is.
Not reduced talent. Eliminated overhead.
A different kind of engineering firm.
Not a marketplace. Not a body shop. A small firm with a very high bar.
01
Sourced from elite institutions
CTU Prague ranks in the top 200 engineering schools on the planet — out of roughly 28,000 universities worldwide. Founded in 1707, it is the oldest technical university in Central Europe. The Faculty of Information Technology fails 47% of students in year one. The ones who make it through weren’t selected by a committee. They were selected by the work.
02
Vetted by humans, not algorithms
Every engineer is personally interviewed. English assessed live. GitHub reviewed. Track record verified. We stake our reputation on every introduction — because we only make a few.
03
Stable by culture
Czech engineers don’t job-hop. They don’t interview for leverage. Average tenure 3–4 years versus 18 months in US tech. That consistency compounds. It’s worth money you’re not calculating.
04
Available now
Senior engineers, ready to ship. 6-hour timezone overlap with US East Coast. No visa complexity. EU-based contractors on clean, simple agreements. First introductions within days, not months.
The Selection Argument
“Stanford filters who gets in.
CTU filters who survives.”
Two schools. Two philosophies. One decides before you start. The other watches what you do under pressure and decides then. US tech has spent thirty years hiring from the first kind of school. We know where the second kind lives. And we know what it produces.
