Hire remote security engineers your budget can actually fund

The seat that keeps getting deferred

Detection rules go stale. Identity cleanup slips another quarter. The hardening baseline exists as a document nobody has applied since the auditor last asked. None of this is a mystery to you; it is a funding problem. The person who would fix it commands a salary that competes with everything else on the security budget, so the seat sits open and the work sits still.

Be clear about what this does not solve. We are not a consultancy and we do not sell a project. If you want an architecture review delivered in six weeks, a penetration test, or a named expert to parachute in and leave a report, we are the wrong call. We fill a seat you plan to keep.

Hire remote security engineers onto your team

The engineer is contracted through us and dedicated to your account. They take work from your backlog, join your standups, submit changes through your review process, and report to your manager. Scope is whatever you actually need built and maintained: detection engineering and tuning, endpoint and cloud hardening, identity and access work, SIEM content, vulnerability remediation, or the security side of platform changes.

Commercially it is one line. You pay us monthly, we pay the contractor, and the contracting and compliance obligations in their country are ours to carry. Nothing about the engagement puts a new person on your payroll unless you choose that route later. At this level you can: contract to hire and direct placement are both available for Tier 3 and management seats.

How we screen before you interview anyone

Five gates, every candidate, no exceptions. We verify identity and work history. We test language proficiency, since design reviews and incident write-ups both live or die on it. We run role-specific skills testing. We take references. We check workspace and security posture, because a security engineer working from an unmanaged machine on a shared network is a risk you inherit.

The skills gate for engineering seats is practical work, set by people who run security operations inside our own group. A rule to write and justify. A baseline to pick apart. A log source to make sense of. Candidates who can talk about detection but have never shipped one do not get through, which is the whole reason our sourcing runs slower than a resume forwarder's.

Where the budget argument bites hardest

Senior security pay is the hardest line to fund domestically. That is exactly why this role is where an international engagement changes the shape of your plan. A senior or Tier 3 technical seat through us is $3,500 to $4,500 a month, all in. That figure covers the contractor, the contracting and compliance work behind them, and the people management wrapped around the seat.

We will not quote you a saving, a percentage or a multiple. What we will say is that an international contractor costs a fraction of a comparable US hire, that the rate is strong and competitive in the markets we recruit from, and that the model works on the gap between labour markets. You are buying access to a bigger pool and enough budget to reach into it.

The commitment is small for a seat this senior. Ninety days of fees when the engineer starts, and that is the whole thing. The model is designed for seats kept filled a year or more, because that is the horizon over which the investment pays back, but you are not asked to sign for a year to find out.
