How fast can KernelSquad place a senior engineer on my team?

Within 7 days of our first discovery call we send one or two hand-picked profiles. Once you choose, the engineer is embedded in your team and shipping within 10 days from kickoff.

Do you place junior engineers?

No. Every engineer in the KernelSquad network has at least 5 years of production experience. We do not place juniors with a senior label.

What if the engineer is not a good fit?

Every engagement starts with a 2-week trial. If the chemistry, output, or fit is not right, we replace the engineer at no cost — no termination fees and no awkward conversation.

Which timezones do you cover?

We work across Europe, MENA, and the Gulf (KSA, UAE). Engineers overlap real-time with both ends — not async-only — and the team speaks English, French, and Arabic.

What roles can KernelSquad fill?

Senior backend engineers (Node.js, NestJS), senior frontend engineers (React, Next.js), engineering managers, tech leads, product designers, and product managers. Hire one role or assemble a full squad.

How does pricing work?

We bill a monthly fee per engineer based on seniority and role. No setup fees, no termination fees, no long-term contracts. The 2-week trial is included.

EduGestion (Tunisia)

Building a live multi-tenant SaaS for Tunisian training centers — in five months

Took EduGestion from an empty repository to production in five months for a founder who came to us with specs and no engineering team. Private training centers across Tunisia run their classes, attendance, and billing on it today — and unlike most case studies, you can click it.

Shipped a working product to real customers in five months — training centers now run their daily operations on it, and the link below opens the live platform, not a prototype.
Wired the platform into Tunisia's payment rails — D17, Flouci, and ClicToPay — with a dual confirmation path so no payment goes silently missing, even on a gateway that never reports success.
Isolated every training center from day one — onboarding the next customer is a signup, not a redeployment, and unpaid accounts drop to read-only without anyone chasing invoices.
Installed the delivery process alongside the engineers — review gates, QA sign-off, and automatic deploys on every approved change, so the founder never had to manage the build.
