Why Luby

Where Luby differs from BairesDev

Senior nearshore engineers aligned to U.S. time zones, with AI built into how they deliver, at a company certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701.

  • The seniority you approved, from kickoff to release

    The senior engineers you evaluate are the ones who stay on your project. There's no swap to junior developers after signature: the team that wins the work is the team that ships it.

  • Engineers in as little as 7 days

    Individual engineers matched to your stack can start in as little as 7 days, so the roadmap doesn't wait out a hiring cycle.

  • AI-augmented delivery, by default

    Shorter cycles, with senior time spent on hard problems instead of boilerplate. Every Luby engineer works with AI across the lifecycle, from AI pair programming to accelerated testing, and it's included in the price.

  • Certified for security and privacy management

    Luby holds ISO/IEC 27001 for information security, and its privacy information management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27701.

Why teams switch

Why teams move from BairesDev to Luby

  • A squad sized to a mid-sized roadmap

    Not every roadmap needs a delivery organization of thousands. Teams move to Luby for a senior squad that works inside their tools and ceremonies, with technical leadership included.

  • Adding an engineer shouldn't stall the release

    Luby draws on a pool of 220+ engineers and product specialists, with individual engineers starting in as little as 7 days, so the release plan holds when the team changes.

  • A rate you can plan around

    Mid-sized teams want senior engineers at a price they can model before signing. Luby publishes indicative rate ranges by role, so the cost of seniority is clear up front.

Honest take

When BairesDev is the right fit

If you need to add 200+ engineers at once, BairesDev's volume model may fit better. For a senior squad you meet before it starts building, at rate ranges published up front, Luby is built for that.
