Dedicated Teams

The key difference is integration and commitment. Traditional outsourcing involves handing off a defined task to an external vendor who delivers results — you specify what you need, and the vendor manages the how. With a dedicated team, the developers become an extension of your organization: they work exclusively on your product, attend your standups, understand your domain deeply, and accumulate institutional knowledge over months and years. You control priorities and the product roadmap; we ensure engineering excellence and team operations. This model eliminates the vendor-client dynamic — the team genuinely cares about your product because it is their only focus. Knowledge retention is dramatically better than outsourcing, where teams rotate between projects. The result is faster development velocity over time as the team builds deep context, compared to outsourcing where each new engagement starts with a learning curve.

Dedicated teams deliver the most value in three scenarios. First, long-term product development (6+ months) where requirements evolve continuously — SaaS products, marketplaces, and platforms that need ongoing feature development, optimization, and scaling. The team accumulates domain knowledge that accelerates delivery over time. Second, scaling an existing in-house team quickly — when you need to add 3-5 developers without months of hiring, interviewing, and onboarding. Our developers integrate into your workflows and tools within 1-2 weeks. Third, projects requiring specialized expertise that is hard to hire locally — when you need a Go backend specialist, a React Native expert, and a DevOps engineer simultaneously, assembling that combination through hiring can take months. We have the bench depth to provide any combination of skills. The model works less well for short, clearly-defined projects with fixed scope — for those, project-based development is more cost-effective.

Onboarding follows a structured 4-phase process. Phase 1 (Week 1): Requirements Analysis — we define the team composition you need (roles, seniority levels, technology skills), review your existing codebase and development processes, and identify candidates from our roster. Phase 2 (Week 1-2): Candidate Selection — you interview and approve each team member. We present 2-3 candidates per role, including their portfolio, code samples, and references. You have full veto power. Phase 3 (Week 2-3): Integration — approved team members get access to your repositories, project management tools, and communication channels. We conduct a codebase walkthrough, domain knowledge transfer sessions, and establish working agreements (coding standards, review process, deployment workflow). Phase 4 (Week 3-4): Ramp-up — the team starts with smaller tasks to build context, gradually taking on more complex work. By week 4, the team is typically operating at full velocity. We assign a dedicated team lead who ensures process adherence and serves as your primary technical point of contact.

We provide several concrete guarantees. Team stability: we commit to maintaining the same team members for the duration of the engagement — no unexpected rotations. If a team member needs to leave (which is rare), we provide a 30-day transition period with a replacement candidate of equal or higher skill level, with knowledge transfer at our cost. Quality guarantees: all code produced follows agreed coding standards, passes automated tests, and undergoes peer review. We commit to specific coverage targets (typically 80%+ for critical paths). Availability: team members are available during agreed working hours with guaranteed daily communication through standups. If you are unsatisfied with any team member's performance, we offer a 2-week replacement guarantee — we will find a suitable replacement at no additional cost. Transparency: you get full access to time tracking, task management, and code repositories. Monthly reports detail hours worked, tasks completed, velocity trends, and any risks or blockers.

Pricing is straightforward: monthly rates per team member based on their role and seniority level. Senior backend developer (Node.js, Go, Laravel): $5,500-7,500/month. Senior frontend developer (React, Vue.js, Angular): $5,000-7,000/month. Full-stack developer: $5,500-7,500/month. Mobile developer (React Native, Flutter): $5,500-7,500/month. QA engineer: $3,500-5,000/month. DevOps engineer: $5,500-7,500/month. Team lead/technical architect: $7,000-9,000/month. Project manager: $4,000-5,500/month. Rates include all infrastructure costs (workstations, tools, licenses), HR overhead, and management. There are no hidden fees — the monthly rate is the total cost. Minimum engagement is 3 months (to ensure meaningful knowledge transfer), with month-to-month renewal after that. Scaling up or down requires 2 weeks notice. Volume discounts apply for teams of 5+ members. A typical team of 2 backend + 1 frontend + 1 QA costs $19,500-27,000/month.
