Welcome to your first Intelligence Brief. Every month, we’re diving into our massive global database to bring you real insights from the thousands of companies and contractors powered by Ontop. No fluff or trends, just raw data on how the world’s most successful teams are actually hiring and scaling right now so you can stay ahead.

Top-tier companies are no longer over-hiring Seniors for every role; instead, they are anchoring core feature development with high-quality LATAM Mid-Level Engineers and layering on niche, globally distributed Senior Specialists (like Principal Architects or specialized DevOps Leads) for high-level system design. This structure delivers peak engineering performance at scale without the financial drag of a bloated, all-Senior payroll.
Since you’re already part of Ontop, you have the infrastructure to deploy this model instantly. You’ve got the tools and the talent access: now you have the blueprint.
Give the right access to the right people, no more all-or-nothing permissions.
With the new Roles tab and two specialized roles (People Manager and Payroll Manager), teams now work with more clarity, security, and control.
Assign responsibilities confidently and keep departments cleanly separated.
Where to find it: Settings → Users & Permissions → Roles
