Common Questions
How fast can Morena provide senior engineers?
We typically place senior engineers within 1–2 weeks, depending on the specific stack and requirements. Our pre-vetted network allows us to move much faster than traditional hiring cycles.
What’s the difference between Morena and offshore dev shops?
Traditional dev shops optimize for billable hours and junior-heavy teams. Morena provides senior-only talent who prioritize ownership, architectural clarity, and business outcomes. We integrate into your team, we don't just 'take tickets'.
Do you offer contract-to-hire or direct placement?
Yes, we offer flexible models including embedded contracts, project-based squads, and direct senior talent placement depending on your long-term goals.
What time zones do your engineers cover?
Our engineers are primarily based across Africa and Europe, providing significant overlap with US East Coast and full overlap with UK/European markets. We ensure at least 4 hours of synchronous collaboration time daily for US-based clients.
Our model is built from years of senior engineering execution across startups, scale-ups, and production environments.
