In short

MappOptimist supplies contract engineers to IT consultancies, system integrators and staffing firms that need capacity for their own clients. From New Delhi, India, we staff roles across AI and LLM engineering, Salesforce, SailPoint, Dynamics 365, data engineering, cloud and DevOps, web and mobile. Engineers work under your delivery lead on a monthly rolling basis, and rates follow our published 2026 rate cards.

01

Where partners need us

A requirement lands and your bench is empty

Your client wants someone to start in two weeks. Local hiring takes months, and your usual subcontractors are already placed.

Specialist roles you cannot keep on payroll

SailPoint, Dynamics 365, Salesforce CPQ, Databricks or LLM engineering come up a few times a year. Keeping those people on the bench between projects does not pay.

Offshore vendors that slow your delivery down

Resumes that do not match the role, engineers who need constant supervision and little overlap with your client's working day cost more than the rate saves.

Rates you cannot build a margin on

You need a clear price per role and experience level before you quote your client, not a negotiation every time a new requirement comes in.

02

Roles we supply

Enterprise platform consultants

Salesforce administrators, developers and consultants across 25 roles on our rate card, Dynamics 365 engineers and SailPoint IdentityIQ and Identity Security Cloud consultants. Our consultants have worked inside client SailPoint programmes, implementing, enhancing and supporting IdentityIQ and Identity Security Cloud.

Cloud, DevOps and security

DevOps, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), SRE, Kubernetes and Terraform engineers, plus IAM, application security and cloud security engineers from our identity security practice.

Teams and managed pods

When a requirement is bigger than one role, a dedicated team with a lead or a managed pod can take a workstream for your client. For full project delivery under your brand, see our white-label service.

03

How a requirement works

1

Send the requirement

Role, stack, experience, start date, duration, time zone and whether the engineer will face your client. A job description is enough.

2

Resumes and rates in one business day

We confirm who is available, share resumes and quote the rate for each profile, so you can price your proposal straight away.

3

You or your client interview

Shortlisted engineers join an interview with you or your client. You decide who is selected.

4

Onboard and deliver

The engineer joins your tools, standups and delivery process, typically in about a week. We stay the single point of contact for replacements, extensions and new roles.

04

Partnership models

Individual experts

One engineer or a few specialists who join your client team on a monthly rolling basis.

Dedicated team

A cross-functional squad with a team lead that owns a workstream alongside your people, for sustained demand from one client or one stack.

Managed pod

A fully managed pod that delivers a defined scope against the outcomes you set, while you keep the client relationship.

Frequently asked questions

Which roles can you supply?

Most engineering roles in AI and LLM development, Salesforce, SailPoint, Dynamics 365, data engineering, cloud and DevOps, security, web and mobile development, UI/UX and QA. Our rate cards list the specific profiles and experience bands. If a role is not listed, send the requirement and we will tell you within one business day whether we can staff it.

How quickly can an engineer start?

We confirm availability, resumes and rates within one business day of receiving a requirement. Average onboarding for a vetted engineer is about a week, depending on how quickly interviews are scheduled and on your client's own onboarding steps.

How are partner engagements priced?

Per engineer, by role and experience band, on a monthly rolling basis. The table above shows indicative hourly rates from our 2026 rate cards; for example, a Salesforce Developer (Apex & LWC) is $39/hr at 2-3 years, $44/hr at 4-6 years and $51/hr at 6+ years. Rates are confirmed per engagement scope, duration and resource availability.

Can your engineers work in my client's time zone?

We match working hours to your client's team wherever possible, so engineers can join standups and daily reviews. Tell us the required overlap with the requirement and we will only propose people who can meet it.

Can engineers be client-facing?

Yes. Engineers can join client calls as part of your team, or work only with your delivery lead. Tell us which with the requirement, and we brief the engineer accordingly.

What is the difference between this and your white-label service?

This page is about supplying engineers for roles on your client projects. White-label development is for handing us a whole project or workstream to deliver under your brand. You can start with one or two engineers and move to a dedicated team or white-label delivery as trust builds.
