Question 1

What does Aayulogic actually do?

Accepted Answer

We are a Canadian-headquartered global technology company. We build and operate production software — including flagship platforms like RealHRsoft and custom AI/cloud engagements for enterprise clients across North America.

Question 2

How does Aayulogic ensure project success?

Accepted Answer

Every engagement starts with a two-week technical planning and architecture phase (with zero code written). This ensures that timelines are realistic, system designs are fully mapped, and risks are completely understood before we begin building.

Question 3

Where is Aayulogic headquartered?

Accepted Answer

Our global headquarters is Aayulogic Inc. in Toronto, Canada. Our primary engineering hub is in Lalitpur, Kathmandu, Nepal, which has been operating continuously since 2016.

Question 4

Are your processes certified for security and quality?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold active, independently audited ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems) and ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security Management Systems) certifications. These standards govern all our client engagements and delivery pipelines.

Question 5

What products does Aayulogic build?

Accepted Answer

Aayulogic builds and operates its own enterprise SaaS products, led by RealHRsoft — a complete HR and payroll platform used by 200+ organizations. The product family also includes Real Chat (team messaging) and Real Learn (learning management). Alongside its products, Aayulogic delivers custom software for enterprise clients across AI, cloud, and platform engineering.

Question 6

What services does Aayulogic offer?

Accepted Answer

Aayulogic offers four engineering engagement models: Staff Augmentation (senior engineers embedded in your team), Dedicated Teams (a self-managed pod accountable to your roadmap), Contract-to-Hire (validate fit before you commit), and Build-Operate-Transfer (we stand up an offshore centre and transfer ownership to you). All models are delivered by senior engineers under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 processes.

Question 7

Which industries does Aayulogic serve?

Accepted Answer

Aayulogic serves financial services (BFSI), healthcare, education, public sector, retail and commerce, and SaaS platform companies. Its ISO 27001:2022 certification and regulated-sector experience make it a strong fit for audit-grade and compliance-sensitive environments across North America, Australia, and Asia.

Question 8

How big is Aayulogic and how experienced is the team?

Accepted Answer

Aayulogic has 300+ engineers operating across hubs in Toronto (Canada), Lalitpur (Nepal), Louisville (USA), and Brisbane (Australia). The company has operated continuously since 2016, and its production roles are seniors-only — every engineer on a client engagement has 5+ years of experience shipping systems to production.

Question 9

How do I hire developers or start a project with Aayulogic?

Accepted Answer

Start by contacting Aayulogic at hello@aayulogic.com or through the contact form on aayulogic.com. You'll get a 45-minute discovery call with the engineering or product lead closest to your context — not a salesperson. Scope, statement of work, and a kickoff plan typically take 2–4 weeks, and senior engineers can be deployed within 7 business days.

Question 10

What makes Aayulogic different from a typical outsourcing vendor?

Accepted Answer

Aayulogic operates like a product company, not a staffing shop. Every engagement begins with a two-week architecture phase before any code is written, teams are 100% senior, and Aayulogic both builds custom software and runs its own production SaaS products. Client IP is assigned to the client at delivery, and all work runs under audited ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 processes.

Question 11

How can I contact Aayulogic?

Accepted Answer

You can reach Aayulogic by email at hello@aayulogic.com or via the contact form at aayulogic.com/contact. The global headquarters is in Toronto, Canada, with the primary engineering hub in Lalitpur, Nepal, and offices in Louisville (USA) and Brisbane (Australia).

Question 12

Is Aayulogic hiring, and who do you hire?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Aayulogic hires senior engineers (typically 5+ years of production experience) on a remote-first basis across all of its offices, and offers visa sponsorship and relocation for the right candidates. Open roles are listed at aayulogic.com/careers.

Question 13

What does Aayulogic actually do?

Accepted Answer

We are a Canadian-headquartered global technology company. We build and operate production software, including flagship platforms like RealHRsoft and custom AI and cloud engagements for enterprise clients across North America.

Question 14

How long has Aayulogic been around?

Accepted Answer

Since 2016 — a full decade of building and operating software, for clients and for ourselves. That sustained, continuous operation is what has proven our engineering capabilities, not a claim on a slide.

Question 15

Are your processes certified for security and quality?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hold active, independently audited ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems) and ISO 27001:2022 (Information Security Management Systems) certifications. These standards govern all client engagements and delivery pipelines.

Question 16

What engagement models do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Four core models: Staff Augmentation (senior engineers embedded in your team), Dedicated Teams (a complete pod owned by us, accountable to your roadmap), Contract-to-Hire (try before you commit), and Build-Operate-Transfer (we stand up a function, then hand the keys over). The model is shaped by your timeline and risk profile, not the other way around.

Question 17

What's a typical engagement size and length?

Accepted Answer

Most engagements run 6 to 36 months and involve 3 to 20 engineers. We don't take on staffing-shop short-tail work — we're built for compounding relationships. Discovery to first sprint is typically 2-4 weeks.

Question 18

Do you work with startups or only enterprises?

Accepted Answer

Primarily mature businesses and enterprises — that's where our operator-grade discipline matters most. We do partner with funded startups when the engineering ambition matches ours and the runway justifies senior engineering depth.

Question 19

Which industries do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Financial services (BFSI), healthcare, education, public sector, retail and commerce, and SaaS platform companies. ISO 27001 + sector experience makes us a fit for regulated environments where audit-grade matters.

Question 20

What's it like to work at Aayulogic?

Accepted Answer

Senior-heavy team, async-first communication, decision logs and runbooks for everything, and a clear bar for operate-what-you-build. We pay for craft, sponsor visas, and run a real sabbatical program at five years.

Question 21

Do you hire juniors?

Accepted Answer

Rarely. Our hiring bar is seniors-only for production roles — typically 5+ years of experience with real systems in production. We invest deeply in those we hire instead of running a high-churn pipeline.

Question 22

Is remote work supported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're remote-first across all offices. You can work from any of our four locations, fully remote, or a hybrid blend. Async communication is treated as a first-class engineering tool.

Question 23

How long does the hiring process take?

Accepted Answer

Four focused conversations over 3-4 weeks. Application screen (week 1), technical conversation (week 2), paid work sample (week 2-3), team and leadership round (week 3-4). Offer and onboarding plan within 5 days of the final round.

Question 24

Do you offer visa sponsorship or relocation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — across Toronto, Lalitpur, and Brisbane. We've relocated engineers between continents and routinely sponsor work permits for the right hires. Global mobility is part of our retention story.

Question 25

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Send a note via the contact form or email hello@aayulogic.com. We'll schedule a 45-minute discovery call with the engineering or product lead closest to your context — not an account manager. From there, scope, statement of work, and a kickoff plan typically takes 2-4 weeks.

Question 26

Can we visit one of your offices?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We host clients regularly in Toronto and Lalitpur. We'll arrange engineering deep-dives, leadership meetings, and a walk-through of how teams actually operate. Most enterprise engagements start with at least one office visit.

Question 27

Do you participate in vendor due diligence?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have a standard vendor-vetting pack covering certifications (ISO 9001 / 27001), insurance, governance, financials, references, and security architecture. Ready to share under NDA on request.

Question 28

What's your billing and payment model?

Accepted Answer

Standard models: fixed-scope (for clearly bounded deliverables), time-and-materials (for evolving engagements), and dedicated team (monthly recurring). We bill in CAD, USD, AUD, or AED depending on the entity. Net-30 terms standard, customizable for enterprise.

Question 29

What's your engineering stack?

Accepted Answer

Production stacks lean on proven choices: Node.js, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/Azure/GCP. We pick boring technology by default — novelty belongs in R&D, not in systems your business depends on.

Question 30

How do you handle data security and compliance?

Accepted Answer

ISO 27001:2022 controls govern every repo. Threat models, IAM, secrets management, and audit logging are designed in — not bolted on. We support SOC-style customer audits and operate dedicated security review on every engagement.

Question 31

Do you sign NDAs and DPAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — standard mutual NDA before any technical discussion, and DPA (data processing agreement) is part of every contract that touches customer data. We have template language ready and have signed against major enterprise paper.

Question 32

Who owns the IP we build together?

Accepted Answer

You do. All custom engagement IP is assigned to the client at delivery — clean ownership, no patent encumbrances, full source. Our product IP (RealHRsoft, Real Chat, Real Learn) stays with us, of course.

Question 33

What is the typical lead time to deploy senior developers?

Accepted Answer

We deploy individual senior staff augmentation engineers within 7 business days, and complete multi-disciplinary engineering pods (3 to 5 members) within 14 business days.

Question 34

How do you vet your senior engineering talent?

Accepted Answer

All Aayulogic engineers undergo rigorous continuous evaluations: a manual code screen, standard algorithmic problem solving, paid system design exercises, and soft skill reviews. 100% of our production team holds senior titles (5+ years of experience).

Question 35

What timezone coverage do your engineers support?

Accepted Answer

We offer 24/7 timezone coverage across Toronto, Lalitpur, Louisville, and Brisbane. We ensure a minimum of 4 hours of daily synchronous overlap with your core working hours.

Question 36

How are communications and stand-ups managed?

Accepted Answer

Our engineers operate natively inside your Slack/Teams and Jira workspaces, participating in standard daily stand-ups and reviews just like your internal team.

Question 37

How fast can you actually deploy senior engineers?

Accepted Answer

Most senior IC roles (backend, frontend, DevOps) — 5 to 7 business days from signed SOW. Specialist roles (ML research, security architects) — 10 to 14 days. Architect-level roles are surge-priced and may take 2-3 weeks.

Question 38

What happens if an engineer underperforms?

Accepted Answer

You can request a replacement within the first 14 days at no cost. We absorb the ramp-up time. After 14 days, we work with you on a 30-day improvement plan with weekly check-ins, or replace with a 50% credit on the in-flight days.

Question 39

Do we get to interview candidates?

Accepted Answer

Always. We send 3 profiles per role, you run your standard interview loop. We never push candidates — if none meet your bar, we send another shortlist within 48 hours at no charge.

Question 40

How does Contract-to-Hire conversion pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Zero conversion fee after a 6-month contract. Earlier conversion (3-6 months) is a flat 50% of one month's billing. After 12 months, conversion is free with 30-day notice.

Question 41

Can engineers work on-site?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we have engineers in 8 global offices and a remote-first bench across 20 countries. On-site placements come with relocation support handled by us.

Question 42

What about IP and confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

All IP created during engagement is assigned to you on day one via our master agreement. Engineers sign your NDA before any code access. We also carry $5M E&O insurance per engagement.

Question 43

How do you maintain engineer quality at this volume?

Accepted Answer

Our vetting funnel rejects 99% of applicants before bench-eligibility. Engineers go through a 4-stage process: code-first screen, async work sample, live pairing on a real bug from a production codebase, and a bar-raiser interview by a staff-level engineer who is not part of the hiring panel.

Question 44

What time zones can we get coverage in?

Accepted Answer

Our 400+ bench spans every major time zone. We can staff PST-aligned, EST-aligned, GMT-aligned, IST-aligned, or AEST-aligned shifts. For 24/7 coverage, we structure follow-the-sun teams of 2–3 engineers across hubs.

Question 45

How do you handle engineers who underperform after the 14-day window?

Accepted Answer

If concerns emerge after 14 days, we run a structured performance review with you within 5 business days. If the gap is coachable, we add a senior engineer as a mentor at no charge for 30 days. If it's a fundamental mismatch, we replace — usually within 10 days — and credit the underperforming period.

Question 46

Can engineers work in our existing Jira, Slack, GitHub, and other tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the default. Engineers integrate fully into your tooling on day one. We do not impose our own tracking, time logging, or communication tools. The only reporting overhead is the weekly written status report.

Question 47

Do you sign our paperwork or yours?

Accepted Answer

Either. We have a standard MSA reviewed by Canadian counsel that 80% of clients sign as-is. For Fortune 500 clients with their own legal templates, we redline and sign theirs. Average legal turnaround: 6 business days.

Question 48

What happens to the engineer if we end the contract early?

Accepted Answer

Engineers are full-time Aayulogic employees with continuous employment. If your engagement ends, they roll to the bench or another engagement — they don't lose income or benefits. This is why our engagement retention is 94% and why we attract senior talent.

Question 49

Can we convert a staff-aug engineer to a direct hire?

Accepted Answer

Yes, after 12 months at zero conversion fee. Before 12 months, a one-time conversion fee applies (industry standard, transparent rate card available). We treat conversion as a successful outcome, not a leakage event.

Question 50

How do you protect our IP and trade secrets?

Accepted Answer

Three layers: corporate NDA between you and Aayulogic, personal NDA between you and the engineer, and IP-on-creation assignment in the MSA. Engineers work in your repos and your cloud — your code never lives on our infrastructure unless contracted.

Question 51

How is this different from staff augmentation?

Accepted Answer

Staff augmentation gives you engineers; you provide direction. A dedicated squad gives you a self-managed team with its own EM and (optionally) PM — they own delivery against outcomes you set. You measure roadmap progress, not tickets. Best fit when you have a product but not enough leadership bandwidth to direct day-to-day execution.

Question 52

Who manages the squad day-to-day?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated Engineering Manager from our side runs the squad. They report to a designated stakeholder on your side (typically a VP of Engineering or CTO). Steering happens at the outcome level — features shipped, KPIs moved — not at the ticket level.

Question 53

Can we use our own product manager?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Roughly 60% of our squads run with the client's PM. The other 40% use ours when the client's PM bandwidth is constrained or when domain expertise (HR, pharma, fintech) is critical. Mid-engagement swaps are also common.

Question 54

What happens when an engineer needs to leave the squad?

Accepted Answer

Planned rotations: 8-week shadowing with the replacement, documented handover, paired sprints. Unplanned departures (rare — 6% annual squad-level turnover): backup engineer ramps in 5–10 business days, supported by the squad's living documentation.

Question 55

Can the squad work across multiple time zones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Default model is 6+ hours of overlap with your core hours. We can structure full-overlap (squad in your time zone), partial-overlap (4–6 hours), or follow-the-sun for 24/7 coverage with multiple squads.

Question 56

How do you handle scope and priority changes?

Accepted Answer

Scope changes are normal — the squad re-plans every two weeks. Priority changes mid-sprint are also fine; the EM will surface the trade-off (what falls out, what shifts) so you make the call with full information. We never silently descope.

Question 57

What if we want to take the squad in-house?

Accepted Answer

We support full team conversions. Conversion is structured as a transfer-by-engineer with no cliff. Engineers can be converted individually as roles open up on your side. Standard conversion terms apply (transparent, MSA-defined).

Question 58

How does this compare cost-wise to building in-house?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated squad typically costs 60–70% of a fully-loaded in-house equivalent (salary + benefits + tooling + facilities + management overhead). The bigger value is time: a squad is producing in week 4. A new in-house team takes 6–9 months to reach the same maturity.

Question 59

How is C2H different from a probation period after a direct hire?

Accepted Answer

A probation period happens after you've committed — issued the offer, started payroll, given equity, dealt with visa transfers. Exit costs are high (severance, re-recruitment, brand risk). C2H validates before you commit: the engineer is on our payroll during the 90 days, exit costs are near zero, and there's no career hit for the engineer either.

Question 60

Won't the best engineers refuse a contract role?

Accepted Answer

Some do — we don't place engineers on C2H without their explicit consent. The engineers who accept are typically people early in a job search who want to validate fit too, or candidates exploring a new domain. We've found about 35% of our senior bench is open to C2H placements.

Question 61

What if we want to keep the engineer past 90 days but not convert?

Accepted Answer

We extend the contract. Standard extensions are 30 or 60 days under the same terms. Some clients run for 6 months as extended contract and only convert when an internal headcount slot opens. The flexibility is the point.

Question 62

Who decides the conversion comp?

Accepted Answer

You do. We provide market benchmarks (we have rich data from 1,200+ placements) and we facilitate the conversation with the engineer. But the offer is yours to make and the engineer's to accept. We act as honest broker, not negotiator.

Question 63

What happens to the engineer if we don't convert?

Accepted Answer

They remain a full-time Aayulogic employee with continuous employment, benefits, and pay. They roll to the bench and onto the next engagement — typically within 2 weeks. This is why senior engineers accept C2H: there's no career or income risk to them.

Question 64

Do you charge a conversion fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a transparent one-time conversion fee at day 90 — significantly lower than recruiter fees because we've already de-risked the hire. After 12 months of engagement (rare for C2H, since most convert at 90), conversion is free. Specific rates shared with role spec.
