What you get for the monthly rate
Engineer, full-time on your team
Dedicated to your roadmap, not split across other clients.
Management and account support
An account lead you can escalate to, not a support queue.
Replacement guarantee
If it isn't working, we replace the engineer at no additional cost.
Equipment and tooling
Laptop, licenses and AI-tool seats included in the rate.
Payroll and compliance
Salary, benefits and local payroll compliance handled on our side.

Why teams hire nearshore instead of offshore
You need real-time code review, not overnight handoffs
Offshore teams 8-12 hours away turn every review into a next-day round trip. Nearshore keeps it in the same working day.
You've been burned by rotation
Offshore vendors and marketplaces rotate engineers between clients. Greelow places one engineer on your team, and the average relationship runs over three years.
You want a US contract, not a foreign one
Every engagement runs through Greelow LLC, registered in Florida - one US invoice, no foreign payroll or contractor-classification risk on your side.

Common questions
- Book a discovery call, receive a shortlist within three business days, interview the candidates yourself, and sign a monthly agreement with Greelow's US entity. The engineer is onboarded and productive within seven business days of signing.
- Seven business days from signature to a productive engineer, with the shortlist typically ready three business days after the first call. Hiring the same profile locally in the US usually takes eight to fourteen weeks.
- Between $5,000 and $9,000 per month per engineer, all-inclusive, depending on seniority. There are no recruitment fees, setup fees or minimum headcount.
- Yes. You interview every candidate on the shortlist and decide who joins; Greelow does not place engineers without client interviews.
- Greelow replaces the engineer at no additional cost, and the replacement's onboarding is not billed twice. Fit issues raised in the first weeks are handled by the account lead, not a support queue.
- Greelow employs and manages the engineer; you direct their day-to-day work. Your contract is with Greelow LLC, registered in Florida, so you are not managing foreign payroll or contractor compliance.
