UASOFTDEV

UASOFTDEV is a staff augmentation firm based in New York that sources and places senior Ukrainian developers. Founded in 2021 by Aleksey Pavlishen (CEO) and Alexander Shutalyov (CTO), the company specializes in filling gaps quickly—promising pre-vetted candidates within 48 hours. The pitch is straightforward: hire full-time remote developers at Ukrainian rates (the company claims up to 30% cost savings versus on-site hiring in the US or EU) without the recruiting overhead.

Pavlishen spent 11 years in B2B sales across telecom, IT support, and fintech before moving into staff augmentation. He and Shutalyov began the business months after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, initially placing developers with European IT consulting firms. They now target SMBs, startups, and IT consulting companies in the US and EU.

The company's core claim is that Ukrainian developers offer strong price-to-quality economics. They cite that over 20% of Google and Oracle employees have Ukrainian roots. Most developers on their roster have B2+ English proficiency and 5+ years of commercial experience. The firm manages payroll and benefits; developers remain UASOFTDEV employees but work full-time, dedicated to client projects. An account manager is assigned to coordinate between the client, UASOFTDEV management, and the developer.

Services and capabilities

UASoftDev offers three service lines.

Staff augmentation is the primary offering. The company sources pre-vetted senior full-stack developers, UI/UX designers, DevOps engineers, data engineers, and QA specialists. All candidates are screened for technical fit and English proficiency before presentation. The workflow is simple: you send requirements, UASOFTDEV returns five CVs within 24 hours, you interview candidates of your choice, then the selected developer starts full-time on your project within days.

Dedicated IT teams allow you to build or scale a team—starting small with one developer and adding specialists (designers, DevOps, QA, product managers) as the project grows. The company says it handles end-to-end delivery using Scrum and Kanban, from idea validation through launch and post-launch support. This model is positioned for clients needing a full product build, not just backfill.

AI agents integration is a newer offering. The company claims clients can save up to 30% on staffing costs and improve customer satisfaction by up to 25% through AI automation. Details are light—the site does not specify what "AI agents" means in their context or how they differ from general consulting.

Technologically, UASOFTDEV covers a broad stack. Front-end: React, Vue.js, Angular, Next.js. Back-end: Node.js, PHP (Laravel, Drupal, WordPress), Python (Django, Flask), .NET (C#), Go, Ruby on Rails, Java. Mobile: iOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin), Flutter, React Native. Cloud and DevOps: AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes. Data and AI: Hadoop, Spark, TensorFlow, PyTorch. Also Salesforce and low-code/no-code platforms.

The company has worked across 10+ industries: AI startups, fintech, e-commerce, healthcare, real estate, automotive, blockchain, non-profits, and platforms.

Notable work

The clearest case study is Hazy, a synthetic data company with offices in London and enterprise clients in finance, healthcare, and technology. Hazy engaged UASOFTDEV to automate QA with AI and migrate from a monolithic to a microservices architecture on AWS and Kubernetes.

UASoftDev assigned a dedicated team of 2–5 engineers. The work delivered: (1) a custom machine-learning model for automated code analysis integrated into Hazy's CI/CD pipeline; (2) migration to microservices using Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code automation, monitoring, and alerting; (3) new CI/CD pipelines with automated testing and deployment.

Results were quantified. Manual QA effort dropped 60%. Deployment cycles shortened by over 40%. Infrastructure reliability improved significantly. Engineering resources were freed to focus on features rather than maintenance.

Hazy's principal engineer, Will O'Brien, noted: "Their ability to deeply understand our development environment and build custom high-impact solutions stood out. They didn't apply generic tools but instead created tailored systems that integrated seamlessly into our workflows. UaSoftDev delivered everything on time and the results exceeded expectations."

Other portfolio items—Flutter developer for a beauty IoT startup, scaling an AI startup, scaling an e-commerce store using React, Drupal, Flutter, and AWS, a Drupal-based charity website—are named but lack detail on outcomes or duration.

How they work

Engagement is straightforward. You submit requirements (the more detailed, the better). UASOFTDEV returns pre-vetted CVs within 24 hours. You interview candidates and select. Once an agreement is signed, the developer starts immediately, working full-time and dedicated to your project. An account manager is assigned to coordinate between you, UASOFTDEV, and the developer.

For staff augmentation, pricing is not publicly listed—you request a quote based on the role and seniority. For dedicated teams, the company suggests you can "start small" and scale, implying flexible pricing, but no rates are given on the site.

The company operates in overlapping or matching time zones with clients in the US and EU. Most developers have army postponement status in Ukraine or are currently located in the EU, ensuring availability.

Team and credentials

Founders are Aleksey Pavlishen (CEO, 11 years in B2B sales) and Alexander Shutalyov (CTO). Team size is not disclosed. The company does not list ISO certifications, SOC 2, or other compliance credentials on its public pages. There is no mention of Clutch, G2, or third-party ratings. No partner status with major cloud providers (AWS, Google, Microsoft) is claimed.

The firm emphasizes that Ukrainian developers have strong reputations globally and that the company supports the Ukrainian economy by bringing foreign revenue and employment to the country.
