How is EPAM Startups & SMBs different from EPAM?

EPAM Startups & SMBs allows you to hire developers to deliver enterprise-level services for small and medium-sized IT projects. We rely on the EPAM talent pool and delivery standards but work mostly with startups and SMBs within our platform.

Is there a minimum term and/or a number of dedicated developers for hire?

In general, you can start with as few as one dedicated developer and scale up if needed. Our minimum project duration is 6 months.

How fast can we get people assigned to our project?

Depending on the seniority level and required expertise, we can assign dedicated programmers to your project as soon as two weeks.

Can your dedicated developers join and take over mid-project?

Yes, they can. When you hire our dedicated developers, you can expect them to integrate into your team and pick up the project within 2 weeks.

How do you handle time zone differences between EPAM Startups & SMBs talents and us?

We can provide 3-4 hours of overlap on globally distributed projects and plan the daily activities accordingly.

Can changes be made to the developers' seniority, location, or skills?

Yes. Once you notify us, we’ll add an amendment to the scope of work to align with your project needs.

Can we rotate or cancel positions?

Yes, you can change your assigned team of developers if your business requires this.

How are the interviews with developers conducted?

Relying on our existing pool of dedicated developers, we conduct internal candidate pre-screening and interviews, then share their CVs with you and wait for your feedback. When you approve the candidate, we set up an interview with them so that you can make an informed decision.

How do you ensure that my intellectual property is protected?

We will sign an NDA before the start of any project discussions. Our NDAs and MSAs fully address IP protection aspects. As a software development company, we deliver work for hire, meaning that all IP remains the legal property of the client. All our communication goes through secure channels without interference from unauthorized third parties.

Do you build software in compliance with the GDPR, HIPAA, and other international standards?

We follow all compliance standards that apply to all technology scopes: Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), HIPAA (Health Insurance, Portability and Accountability Act), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Will we sign an NDA before starting cooperation?

Yes, we sign non-disclosure agreements for both consulting and development projects.

How much does development cost when we hire a developer for our project? What kind of pricing do you offer?

We tailor collaboration workflow to your specific needs and goals, choosing the cooperation and pricing models that fit you best. On top of that, we know the right tools and technologies to employ for your project to avoid the unwanted generation of operational costs.

How can I start working with EPAM Startups & SMBs?

To launch a project with us, reach out to our consultants with your business ideas, and we will help you drill down to the core details of your project. We’ll also help you define a cooperation model and assign expert developers to your project team.

Who provides the workstations to the people I hire for my project?
