Pay lower rates for better tech talent

Most software development companies mark up bill-out rates at 3-10x their actual cost. At 1280 Labs, operating costs are capped at 20%, ensuring you always secure the most experienced talent within your budget. Operating with leaner teams of senior talent allows us to deliver projects quicker, with fewer bugs, and at a better price. We're a leading option as a subcontractor or development partner.
