Offshore staff in Austin.

Austin is the capital of Texas. It keeps Central Time (CST or CDT), which is UTC−6 or UTC−5. Austin changes its clocks for daylight saving, so the overlap with some of our hubs moves by an hour for part of the year.

Testing, support tickets, outbound prospecting and documentation. A QA Tester or Sales Development Representative works in your tools and reports to whoever runs the team.

Yes. Front-End, Back-End and Full-Stack Developers are Seat roles, tested and leveled. Seats are month to month with 30 days' notice.

Yes. A Community Manager or Social Media Manager runs channels around festivals and shows, and a Customer Service Representative handles ticket and booking messages.

Usually a General Virtual Assistant or a Customer Success Manager, depending on whether the pain is admin or customers. A developer follows once the product needs more hands.

You set the hours. The Colombia hub shares 7-8 hours of an Austin 9-to-5, and we match people who can work the shifts you describe.

Product direction, architecture and customer relationships that need your founders. A Seat takes the testing, tickets and routine follow-up.

A Technical Writer, Procurement Specialist or QA Tester can keep documentation, suppliers and test logs in order. Restricted designs stay with your own engineers.

A local admin in the US costs US$16 an hour at entry level, up to US$45.38 for a senior executive assistant, before benefits and payroll taxes. A local mid-level admin costs US$22.86 an hour; an Intermediate admin Seat is US$9 an hour, all-in. (BLS OEWS pay for admin assistants and executive assistants, May 2025. National figures for the US, not Austin wages.)

A Research Assistant or Administrative Assistant can gather documents and fill repeated forms. Your bid lead writes and signs the response.

SXSW in March, product launches and the Texas legislative session in odd-numbered years all bring bursts of work. A Seat can cover support and admin while your core team builds or attends.

Week one is access to your repository or helpdesk and a short list of low-risk tasks. By week three the person works a normal share of the queue, with your lead reviewing what ships.

List your repository host, ticketing tool, CRM, support desk and cloud provider, for example GitHub, Jira, HubSpot or Intercom. We match people who already work in them, and you decide the permissions each person gets.

A QA Tester is often followed by a Full-Stack Developer, and a Customer Success Manager by a Sales Development Representative. Community and events teams add a Social Media Manager.

Melbourne is 15-17 hours ahead of Austin. Our head office is there, and your person works on your Austin hours, not ours.

Seats start at US$4 an hour, all-in, full time (38 hours a week). The four levels run up to US$35 an hour for a Specialist. You see the hourly price before you meet anyone.

No. We're a remote team that works on your hours, and every call and demo is on Teams. Our head office is in Melbourne.

We do. We hire your person and supply them to you under our services agreement, so you are not their employer and there is no payroll on your side. You direct the work and you own what they make.
