Common questions from Madrid CXOs

  • How quickly can a Devlyn pod start working with a Madrid team?

    Within 24 hours of greenlight after a 3-day free trial. The trial runs against real work from your roadmap, so you see the engineering depth before signing anything. Total elapsed time from first call to pod in your repo is typically 5 to 7 days.

  • Does the pod work during Madrid business hours?

    Devlyn pods deliver 8+ hours of daily overlap with Madrid business hours, with sync architecture calls scheduled morning CET to align with fintech, B2B SaaS, and Latin-America-bridge calendars. The engagement runs on your calendar, not the vendor's.

  • What stacks does Devlyn cover for Madrid teams?

    Laravel, React, Node.js, Python, AI/ML, Go, Java, mobile (iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native), DevOps, QA, and the cloud-native tooling around them. All under one retainer with one PM line.

  • How does Devlyn pricing compare to hiring FTEs in Madrid?

    Madrid engineering combines fintech (Cabify, Ria Money Transfer), B2B SaaS, and Latin-America-bridge product depth. Senior backend FTE base salaries run €50K–€90K (~$55K–$100K) with strong Spanish-Portuguese-English trilingual product-team capability.
