Silver.dev has been a force-multiplier for our YC & Initialized Capital portfolio company, where we’re scaling a complex, multi-tenant, multi-product, DB-heavy platform. We needed engineers who could instantly raise the team’s engineering IQ, not just tick boxes on a résumé. Gabriel’s crew delivered: their MAANG-level vetting surfaced only candidates with rock-solid fundamentals, letting us skip the trivia and dive straight into system-design depth, business intuition, and critical-thinking chops.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

The results speak for themselves—three roles (one opened mid-search) were filled in record time, with an average nine-day sprint from first call to signed paperwork. Their speed, coupled with consistently elite quality, makes Silver.dev feel like an extension of our startup DNA.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Slack communication and huddling with the owner, Gabriel, felt like a true augmentation of our team. Not only did Silver help place key roles, but they also helped improve our internal hiring process.
