The Scaling Paradox

You Need to Move Fast, But Hiring Slows You Down

Your product is gaining traction. Customers want features yesterday. Competitors are catching up. But building a world-class engineering team takes months you don't have.

The hiring trap:

  • 3-6 months to hire senior engineers
  • $200k+ per year before they write a line of code
  • 50% bad hire rate in rushed processes
  • Fixed costs whether you need them or not
  • Painful layoffs when priorities shift

Meanwhile: Your roadmap falls further behind every day

Success at Scale

Teams That Scaled Without the Headaches

We went from 3 to 18 engineers in 2 weeks for a critical launch. No recruiting, no onboarding—just instant productivity. Saved us 6 months and $500k.
Drexus gives us the flexibility to scale our team with market demands. During peak season, we 5x our capacity. In quiet periods, we scale back. Perfect elasticity.

4x velocity, 2x revenue growth

Market leader in 12 months

“We couldn't have hit our aggressive post-funding targets without Drexus. They gave us the engineering firepower of a 50-person team with the overhead of 5. When we needed to pivot, we swapped skills without missing a beat. This is how modern engineering teams should work.”

— Jason Wu, Founder & CEO

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you scale up our team?

We can deploy senior engineers within 48 hours for urgent needs. For larger teams (5+ engineers), we typically need 3-5 days to assemble the right expertise. Our bench of 127+ pre-vetted seniors means we always have capacity.

What about knowledge retention and continuity?

We assign dedicated tech leads who remain with your project throughout. All work is documented in real-time, we use your tools and processes, and we can gradually transition knowledge to your permanent team when ready.

How do you ensure quality with external teams?

Only senior engineers (7+ years) work on client projects. We have rigorous code review processes, automated testing requirements, and weekly quality audits. Our 92% retention rate reflects consistent delivery excellence.

Can we interview and select specific engineers?

Absolutely. We present qualified candidates based on your requirements. You can interview them, review their portfolios, and even run technical assessments. Once selected, those engineers are dedicated to your project.

What if we need to scale down?

No problem. Our contracts allow scaling down with 2 weeks notice. No severance, no HR complications. We'll ensure smooth knowledge transfer and can maintain a smaller team for ongoing support.
