STAFF AUGMENTATION
Hire a Dedicated Development Team
A standing team with your context, not a rotating pool of contractors.
notice period, no minimum term
What a dedicated team does here
A dedicated team is the engagement where the same engineers stay on your product long enough to hold its context. That context — why a decision was made, where the sharp edges are, which customer breaks if this changes — is most of what makes a team fast, and it is exactly what a rotating contractor pool destroys.
Typically a lead, two to four engineers and a fractional architect, working your board and your ceremonies. You direct the work; we handle staffing, cover and continuity.
What they are good at
- A team composition matched to the product, not to a rate card
- Working in your repository, tracker and review process
- Continuity — the same people, with cover arranged rather than improvised
- Architecture decisions documented as they are made
- Code review and knowledge transfer to your own engineers
- Sprint planning and estimation you can hold us to
- Direct communication, without an account manager in the middle
- A defined exit — handover documentation from day one, not week fifty
What they build
Product development
A roadmap delivered over quarters, with the same people who built the last thing.
Team extension
Capacity added to your existing engineers, in your process, at your standard.
Platform ownership
A system operated as well as built — on call, monitored, maintained.
The stack
How you can engage them
Dedicated
Full-time on your product, in your standups and your repository. The right shape when the work is continuous and context compounds.
Extended team
Part-time capacity alongside your own engineers, for a specific workstream or a gap you are hiring against.
Project
A defined scope with an agreed outcome and end date. Best where the requirement is clear and unlikely to move.
We do not publish rates, because the honest number depends on seniority, duration and notice. Tell us the budget you are working with and we will tell you what it buys — or say plainly if it does not buy enough.
How it actually starts
Scoping call
48 hours
What you are building, which skills it needs, and whether we are the right answer. Sometimes we are not, and you will hear that.
Profiles
3–5 days
CVs and code samples of the specific people available, not a generic capability deck.
You interview
your process
Technical interview with the actual engineer. Reject anyone you are unsure about — that costs nothing.
Trial period
first 2 weeks
Real work in your repository. If it is wrong, you stop, and there is nothing further to pay.
Onboarded
week 3
Shipping in your process, with a written record of decisions from the first day rather than the last.
Working across time zones
We are in Bangalore. That is an advantage for some of your working day and a constraint for the rest, and we would rather state the number than imply there is no gap:
London
5 hours of overlapping working day
Dubai
8 hours of overlapping working day
Singapore
7 hours of overlapping working day
New York
No natural overlap — async handover before your morning
San Francisco
No natural overlap — async handover before your morning
Sydney
5 hours of overlapping working day
Contract, ownership and exit
You own everything
IP assigns to you from the first commit. Work happens in your repository under your licence.
Two weeks notice
No minimum term past the first month, no exit fee, no penalty clause.
No lock-in by design
Standard tooling, documented decisions, no proprietary layer that makes leaving expensive.
Confidentiality
NDA before the scoping call if you want one, and we will sign yours rather than insisting on ours.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from hiring individual developers?
A team arrives with its own review culture, shared context and cover for absence. Individually contracted developers give you more control over composition and cost less; teams give you continuity. Which is better depends on whether you have the management capacity.
Can we interview them?
Yes, and you should. Anyone unwilling to let you interview the people who will write your software is telling you something.
Who owns the code they write?
You do, from the first commit. Work is done in your repository under your licence, and the contract assigns IP to you outright. We keep no rights over what we build for you and no dependency that makes leaving expensive.
What if it is not working out?
Two weeks written notice, no penalty, no minimum term beyond the first month. An engagement that needs a contract to hold it together has already failed — we would rather you could leave easily and chose not to.
