Hire Reverse Engineering Specialist

Total cost of ownership (TCO) to hire Reverse Engineering engineers in-house includes recruiter fees, signing bonuses, payroll tax, benefits, hardware, office space, training, and often 8–12 weeks of lost productivity during ramp-up. With Smartbrain.io’s outstaffing model you pay a transparent blended hourly rate that bundles all overhead, eliminates idle bench cost and lets you scale down instantly. Clients typically report 30–50 % savings in year-one cash outlay while gaining access to senior talent in under 48 h. Our pricing is simple: no recruitment fees, no long-term commitments, and volume discounts for multi-engineer teams.

IP security starts with jurisdiction: you choose on-shore, near-shore or offshore locations that suit your export-control needs. Every engineer signs a master NDA plus client-specific confidentiality annex. Source code lives in your repository; we use role-based access, mandatory VPN and endpoint monitoring. Our ISO 27001 compliant processes include background checks, secure equipment policies, and data segregation. Additionally, you can request geo-fencing or on-prem deployment to keep sensitive artifacts within your firewalls, ensuring iron-clad protection while still benefiting from Reverse Engineering expertise.

Yes. Smartbrain.io maintains a global bench spread across Americas, EMEA and APAC. We align at least 4 hours of daily overlap with your core team and offer follow-the-sun rotations for 24/7 deliverables. Our collaboration playbook leverages asynchronous documentation, daily stand-ups shifted to your time zone, and English-proficient senior engineers to eliminate communication friction.

Standard engagement is month-to-month with a 14-day notice period—no lock-ins or buy-outs. Need a trial? Start with a risk-free 1-week pilot. Scale up or down anytime, convert contractors to full-time after 6 months with zero placement fee, or terminate immediately if KPIs are unmet. Flexibility is built in so your business can pivot without legal headaches.

Every applicant passes a 5-stage funnel: resume screen, live coding teardown, architecture interview with former CTO, secure-coding test, and soft-skills assessment. Less than 2 % make the bench. Skills matrices cover assembly, IDA Pro, Ghidra, protocol analysis, PCB reverse, and compliance standards (FDA, ITAR, IEC). Reports and recorded sessions are shared so you can audit the process yourself.

Smartbrain.io offers a no-cost, 14-day replacement guarantee. If performance metrics slip below agreed SLAs we present a pre-vetted alternative within 48 h and overlap both engineers for knowledge transfer at our expense. This safeguard keeps your project velocity intact and removes the risk typically associated with external contractors.

After your 30-minute discovery call, we deliver a curated shortlist within 48 h. Interviews happen on your schedule—many clients issue an offer the same day. Onboarding typically begins within 24 h of acceptance. That means concept to commit in as little as three business days, far faster than traditional hiring channels.
