What does selectcursor do?

Two things: (1) We embed individual senior developers in your team for ongoing work, paid monthly. (2) We act as your full product team to build and ship a specific product or feature. Both use the same domain-specialized engineers.

Where are the developers based?

Our engineers are globally sourced to cover multiple timezones, one of the world's fastest-growing developer ecosystems, with mandatory 6-hour EU overlap.

How do you vet developers?

Three rounds: technical assessment (live coding + system design), domain knowledge interview, and culture/communication fit. We only accept senior engineers with 5+ years of production experience.

How fast can I start?

From first call to first commit: typically under 2 weeks for embedded talent, 2-4 weeks for agency projects.

How much does it cost?

Talent and agency pricing varies by role, seniority, and scope. See our pricing pages for talent rates and project estimates.

You do. All work product is owned by the client from day one. NDA and IP assignment are standard in every contract.
