A BairesDev alternative with senior engineers on your team

Why teams choose Ryz as a BairesDev alternative

Pricing you can see before the first call

BairesDev does not publish rates; it says cost depends on stack, team size and project scope. Ryz publishes rates by seniority, from mid-level to lead, and scopes every quote per team.

Senior engineers who work to your leads

Ryz engineers join your standups and repos. Your leads set priorities and review the code, and the knowledge stays with your team.

AI pod teams that ship to production

When you need AI built, a Ryz AI pod of about seven senior engineers, including a tech lead and an ML engineer, builds it in your cloud and repos, with weekly demos.

Names before you commit

After one conversation you get a scoped plan, a price and the names of the people who would do the work, all on US business hours.

How it works

• Talk. Tell us the roles, the stack and how your team works.
• Match. Recruiters source, our ARC system ranks the pipeline and structured NTRVSTA interviews test real skill. You meet a short, curated list.
• Join. Your engineers join your standups, repos and roadmap.
• Grow. Add people or an AI pod as the roadmap grows, and scale back when the work is done.

Questions

How do Ryz engineers join our team, and who owns the work?

Ryz engineers work on your team, reporting to your leads. Talk to us to scope your team. They work US business hours, including New York hours, in your accounts, and you control and can revoke access at any time. You own all code and IP they produce, and we will sign your NDA before we share profiles or start work.

What drives the price of a Ryz team?

Custom quote, scoped per team. Rates are public by seniority; your price depends on the roles, seniority mix, team shape and duration. Ask every vendor to quote the same roles and hours, and to name the people.

How fast do we see a shortlist?

It depends on the roles, the seniority and how many people you need. After the first call we come back with a scoped plan and named people. We do not promise a start date before the team is scoped.

When is BairesDev the better fit?

If you want one vendor to run a large outsourced program end to end with its own project managers, BairesDev is built for that, and a global network fits Europe or Asia time zones better. Ryz is for teams that want senior engineers, or an AI pod, on their own team on US hours, with a free replacement if an engineer isn't the right fit.
