FAQ

How long does a contract have to be?



There is no fixed minimum or maximum contract lenght when working with DevObsessed. All contracts are custom fit to the customer's needs and overall engagement size. That said, most contracts tend to range in 3-12 months in overall length, providing our resources enough time to ramp-up and get the job done.

Are your contracts Fixed Bid or Time & Materials?



DevObsessed works with the client to find the optimal contract type that fits the work needing to be done. In our experience, Time & Materials contracts tend to work out better for both the client and DevObsessed. These types of engagements allow for more flexibility and give the client opportunities to dial things back or allow our consultants to continue solving problems and getting things done.

Where are your consultants located?



DevObsessed is based in Omaha, NE, and a good number of our resources and recruting is done in this metropolitan area. However, we recruit where the talent is and currently have consultants in five other midwest states. One thing we can guarantee, your consultants will be US-based and located in the Midwest (likely in the CST zone).

Are your consultants 1099 or full-time employees?



Our consultants are full-time employees. On an extremely limited basis, DevObsessed will use resources from a small group of trusted partners that adhere to the same levels of quality as we do. Typically, we only do this when a unique skill set or technology is required. DevObsessed is always 100% transparent with the client when using outside resources on their projects.

What is your companies bandwidth?



We operate as a specialized boutique, bringing on board talent based on the contracts we secure. Our combined active roster along with developers we’re familiar with and have previously collaborated with gives us a pipeline in excess of 100 engineers. We possess the agility to expand rapidly when required.

What is your current headcount?



We maintain a solid network of roughly 100 engineers who are currently contracted or have collaborated with us in the past. We intentionally keep our circle within this range to ensure the quality of our engineering services. We can identify by name the engineer available or coming available to be assigned to your project or augmentation contract.

What technologies are you familiar with?



Most anything open source along with the three major cloud providers. Our team has been in multiple companies, across multiple verticals working with divergent tech stacks. We work under a hive mentality, meaning our Slack channel is filled with threads between engineers who have seen XYZ problems before and help to offer ideas for solutions. If you bring on one of us, you are accessing the collective knowledge of all of us.

What are your rates?



Engineers with multiple years of experience spanning various industries are invaluable. We prioritize swift onboarding and the efficient production of code, always adhering to the industry’s best practices for testing, deployment, and documentation. Our rates generally fall within the low to mid 100's. While there might be more affordable options available, it’s challenging to find a better value proposition than what we offer. The relationship between our rates and the value we provide is direct and transparent.
