How We Build Your Engineering Team

Before We Hire Anyone

Before We Hire Anyone

We design your engineering team around your roadmap, then embed vetted Latin American engineers into your stack. Pay only for the people you keep.

the real problem

The problem isn't finding engineers. It's building the wrong team.

Your Hiring Process
Starts Here.

The problem isn't finding engineers. It's building the wrong team.

Most companies hire before they know what they actually need. Freelancers and offshore agencies fill seats fast, not outcomes.

Puzzle designs the team first, roles and stack mapped before a single resume comes through. You only pay for the ones who stick.

THE SHORT ANSWER

We Own the Risk.
You Don't.

Every engineer joins your team on a 90 day trial. They work inside your stack, your standups, your roadmap, from day one, but you only pay for the hours they actually work.


If it's not a fit, you walk away and we run the replacement search at our cost.

Common questions from SaaS founders.

01

How does Puzzle build my engineering team?

We start with your roadmap, not a job description. We map the roles, seniority, and stack you need, then match vetted Latin American engineers to that plan. No resumes are shared until the team is designed.

02
What is the 90 day pilot?

Every engagement starts with a 90 day pilot. You interview and select the engineers, they work inside your systems from day one, and you keep only the ones who are the right fit.

03
What happens if a Puzzler isn't the right fit?

We replace them at our cost. There are no fees for strategy or recruiting if a hire doesn't work out.

04
How much less do we pay compared to a U.S. hire?

Roughly 30% less payroll than an equivalent U.S. hire, at the same seniority and skill level.

05
How is Puzzle different from a staffing agency?

Staffing agencies fill seats. We design the team first, embed engineers into your systems, and stay involved long after onboarding.

06
What does embedded actually mean?

Puzzlers join your Slack, your code repositories, and your existing tools from day one. They work as part of your team, not a separate vendor on the side.

07
What kind of companies does Puzzle work with?

U.S. based SaaS companies, generally revenue generating through early Series B, with a real roadmap and an engineering team that's overloaded or blocked.

08
Can we scale the team later?

Yes. Most engagements start with one or two Puzzlers and grow into full teams as your roadmap expands, without renegotiating from scratch.
