Low-risk outsourcing for growing teams trained people, owned outcomes, smart delivery

01

We Provide Trained Resources

Every engineer is vetted and trained across production AI, cloud, and security stacks before placement you get contributors, not trainees.

02

We Take Accountability

Unlike freelance marketplaces, every engagement gets a dedicated delivery lead. We own outcomes, not just billable hours.

03

Part of the MicroAI Group

Backed by a track record spanning AI product development, cybersecurity, and cloud engineering ventures confidence beyond a standalone vendor.

04

We Don't Just Work Hard, We Work Smart

AI-assisted development and automation workflows (like n8n) help us ship faster without inflating your costs.

Our delivery model runs through four phases one team, end to end

The same people carry a piece of work from scoping through to production and the support that follows it. Nothing is handed to a separate team at the phase boundary, so context is never re-explained and no phase starts by rediscovering decisions the last one already made. You get one point of contact for the whole arc, whether the engagement is a few shared hours a week or a full-time embedded engineer.

  1. / 01

    Design

    Architecture, solution planning, and technical scoping we map the system before a line of code is written.

  2. / 02

    Build

    Hands-on development in your preferred stack, with senior review baked into every sprint.

  3. / 03

    Deploy

    CI/CD pipelines and production rollout automated, repeatable, and observable from day one.

  4. / 04

    Scale

    Ongoing support as your product and team grow capacity, performance, and people that keep pace.

O2AL engineers work across modern, in-demand technologies — production stacks, not classroom exercises

Nobody is billed to you to learn a technology on your project. Engineers are vetted against these stacks before placement, and the same four phases of our delivery model apply whether the work is a Next.js frontend, a Cloud Run rollout or a penetration test.

  • Next.js & React
  • Node.js
  • Go
  • Python
02

Cloud & DevOps

  • AWS
  • Google Cloud Run
  • Firebase
  • CI/CD pipelines

AI & Automation

  • LLM integration
  • Prompt engineering
  • n8n workflows
04

Cybersecurity

  • Penetration testing
  • Phishing detection
  • Vulnerability assessment

Choose the engagement model that fits your budget and pace

Both models draw on the same bench and the same production stack — what changes is how much of an engineer's week is yours. Shared resources suit workloads that arrive in bursts; dedicated resources suit a roadmap that needs someone in your standups every morning. Teams routinely start shared, then move to dedicated once the workload stops fitting in a few hours a week.

Our $25/hr entry rate sits at the affordable end of Albania's $25–$70/hr market range, making O2AL one of the most cost-competitive ways to outsource to Albania without sacrificing quality. Every rate above is quoted in USD, billed against hours actually worked, and carries no setup fee, no recruitment fee and no minimum term on the hourly plan.

Not sure which plan fits? The difference comes down to how much of an engineer's week you need — compare the shared and dedicated engagement models first, then talk to us about the mix.
