Engineering crews that ship your product.
- Self-managed crews with tech leads built in.
- Your repos, your tools, your standards.
- Production code from day five - at 50% less investment.
Engineers from $20/hr · Crews from $90/hr · 2-week paid pilot - pay after delivery
You're not adding headcount.
You're adding a delivery engine.
Every Crewlane engagement comes with structure built in - so you get shipped features, not just filled seats.
Tech lead included
Every crew of 3+ has a tech lead who codes AND leads. They own architecture, code reviews, and sprint cadence.
Self-managed delivery
Sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, weekly reports - all handled. Zero management overhead on your side.
One company, not a marketplace
Every engineer comes from HestaBit's 120-person bench - vetted, managed, and supported. Not a marketplace match.
Your tools, your workflow
Your crew works in your repos, your Slack, your Jira. They follow your coding standards. An extension of your team.
48-hour replacement
If an engineer isn't the right fit, we replace them within 48 hours. No awkward conversations, no waiting.
Pay after the milestone
Every engagement starts with a 2-week paid pilot. We deliver first. You pay only after you see the work.
You're not hiring a freelancer.
You're deploying a crew.
Toptal and Turing match you with an individual and leave management to you. We deploy a self-managed crew that ships independently.

Toptal, Turing, and Andela provide individual talent. Crewlane provides managed delivery teams. Different model, different outcome.
Whether you're building, scaling, or delivering - there's a crew for that.
Every engagement starts with a 2-week paid pilot. You pay after the milestone is delivered.
Build
Go from idea to shipped product. No hiring, no ramp-up - a crew shipping production code by day five.
Scale
Add senior capacity that ships independently. Your roadmap, your architecture - delivered this quarter, not next year.
Deliver
White-label crews that work under your brand. Take on more projects without more headcount. Your clients never know.
Managed engineering teams - with the tech lead included.
Most companies hiring engineering capacity get developers. Crewlane sends a self-managed crew: engineers, a tech lead who owns delivery, and a structure that ships independently from day one.
Hire engineering team in 48 hours
From first call to engineers in your tools. No sourcing lag, no recruiter loop.
Dedicated engineering team, not a roster
Your crew works in your repos, attends your standups, follows your standards.
Engineering crew with tech lead baked in
Every crew ships with a lead who owns quality, cadence, and accountability.
How it works
Discovery call
We learn your stack, your bottleneck, your timeline. 30-minute call - no pitch deck, no commitment.
Crew assembly
We build your crew from our 120-person bench, matched to your exact stack. You interview every engineer.
Integration
Your crew joins your Slack, GitHub, Jira. Your CI/CD, your coding standards. Indistinguishable from internal.
First commit
Production code by day five. In your repos, to your standards, reviewed by your team.
Paid pilot
Two-week pilot with a defined milestone. You set the goal - we ship it. Pay only after we hit it.
Your first call is with me.
Not a sales rep.
I've led delivery on 100+ engineering engagements at HestaBit. I built Crewlane because I kept seeing the same pattern - great companies held back by the speed of hiring.
On our call, I'll tell you honestly whether a Crewlane crew is the right fit - or if you should go a different direction. No pitch deck. No pressure.

Questions we get asked. Answered.
What if an engineer doesn't work out?
48-hour replacement guarantee. Every dedicated engineering team we place is backed by it - if someone isn't the right fit, tell us and we swap them immediately. No disruption to your delivery cadence.
What's the minimum commitment?
3 months initial, then month-to-month. The 2-week paid pilot happens within this period - if the managed dev team isn't working for you, you can exit early. No long-term lock-in before you've seen them ship.
Can I interview the engineers?
Yes - always. You approve every engineer on your dedicated engineering team before they start. No exceptions. You're hiring a crew, not inheriting one.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Mutual NDA signed before any project details are shared. Your codebase, your roadmap, your clients - all protected before your engineering crew sees a single line of context.
How is this different from Toptal or Turing?
Toptal and Turing are marketplaces - they match you with individual engineers from a global pool. Crewlane sends a self-managed dev team with an embedded tech lead. You're not hiring engineering capacity and then figuring out how to manage it. You're directing an engineering crew with tech lead already in place - built by a 120-person product engineering company, not assembled from a marketplace.
Your crew is ready when you are.
30-minute strategy call. We'll recommend a crew structure for your situation - or tell you we're not the right fit. No pitch deck. No pressure.
