Grape5 is a Rorko Group company that builds offshore software teams for US businesses, engineers we vet, dedicate and back, embedded in your process and timezone.
In short
Grape5 is a Rorko Group company that builds offshore software teams for US businesses.
Since 2011 we have done it one way: recruit strong engineers, vet them to US standards, and dedicate them to a single client, embedded in your tools and timezone and backed by us, so hiring offshore feels less like outsourcing and more like growing your own team.

Why Grape5 exists
Most offshore hiring fails in one of two ways. A marketplace hands you a contractor who disappears between gigs; a body shop bills hours without ever owning an outcome. We built Grape5 to be neither.
Our engineers are dedicated to you, not middlemen’s contractors. They sit together, learn from each other, and stay with your product long enough to actually understand it. We carry the employment, HR and retention burden, so you get the upside of an offshore team without the churn or the legal overhead.
How we operate
We vet like it’s our own team
Every engineer clears a live code and system-design screen with a senior Grape5 engineer, plus a real communication check, before they ever reach a client.
We say when we’re not the fit
If a marketplace or a full-time local hire serves you better, we’ll tell you. A wrong-fit engagement costs us more in the long run than an honest “no”.
We don’t hide behind rate cards
Pricing depends on the role, seniority and model, so we scope it with you instead of publishing a number that would only mislead.
We play the long game
Retention is the product. The same people, growing with your codebase, beat a cheaper stranger every quarter.
How we vet
You meet people who have already shipped it
Every engineer is screened by a senior Grape5 engineer before they reach your shortlist, a live code and system-design session, not a take-home you can game or a proxy on a call. We also check how they write and reason in English, because that is what remote work actually runs on.
From role spec to shipping, in five steps
- 01
Role spec → shortlist
You send the role and stack. We match from our vetted bench and shortlist people who have shipped it before.
- 02
Technical screen
A senior Grape5 engineer runs a live code and system-design screen, no take-home theater, no proxies.
- 03
Communication check
We check written and spoken English and how they reason out loud, the skills remote collaboration depends on.
- 04
You interview and decide
You meet the finalists and make the call. You hire the person, not a black box.
- 05
Onboard in your tools
They join your standups, repos and board in your timezone overlap, contributing in the first weeks, not the first quarter.
