Hire Dedicated Developers

• Startups needing senior capacity without the cost or delay of local hiring
• Scale-ups whose roadmap has outrun their recruitment pipeline
• Agencies and consultancies needing white-labelled delivery capacity
• Enterprises running a dedicated development center offshore
• Product companies filling specialist gaps — AI, DevOps, mobile — for a defined period
• Teams covering parental leave, notice periods or a sudden departure

Dedicated team (monthly). A fixed squad working only on your product, billed per engineer per month. Best when you have a continuous roadmap and want team stability. Minimum engagement is usually three months, because ramp-up cost is real and a one-month engagement rarely pays back for either side.

Staff augmentation (monthly, flexible). Individual engineers added to your existing team, scaling up or down with thirty days' notice. Best when you have in-house leadership and need hands.

Project-based with a dedicated team. Fixed scope and price, delivered by a named team. Best when requirements are clear and you want cost certainty.

Dedicated development center. A long-term offshore unit with its own recruitment, retention and management layer, operating under your brand and standards.

This is where offshore relationships usually break, so here is exactly what happens:

No bait-and-switch. The engineer you interview is the engineer assigned. If we ever need to change someone, you approve the replacement and get a handover overlap.

• Technical screening — a live coding and systems discussion by one of our senior engineers, not an HR keyword match against a CV.
• Domain check — verified experience in your actual stack and problem space, with references where relevant.
• Communication assessment — written and spoken English tested in a realistic working scenario, because most remote friction is communication rather than capability.
• Your interview — you interview every candidate and reject anyone you want. We do not present a team you have not met.
• Two-week replacement guarantee — if a developer is not working out in the first two weeks, we replace them and you are not billed for the ramp-up of the replacement.

Timezone overlap is a contract term, not a hope. India-based teams typically offer 4–5 hours' overlap with UK and European working days, and 2.5–4 hours with US Eastern if the team shifts start times. We agree the overlap window before the engagement begins and staff accordingly. Teams that pretend timezone difference is irrelevant produce the async-only failure mode where every question costs a day.

Your tools, your process. Engineers work in your repositories, your CI, your ticketing system, your standups, your definition of done. We do not run a parallel process and report into it.

Documentation is a deliverable. Code comments, ADRs for significant decisions and onboarding notes are expected output, not optional. This is the difference between a team you can release and a dependency you cannot escape.

IP and confidentiality. All work is yours from the first commit. NDAs signed before technical discussion, background-verified engineers, and VPN or VDI access where your security policy requires it.

India remains the largest offshore engineering market globally, with a deep talent pool across web, mobile, cloud and increasingly AI engineering. Blended rates typically run 50–70% below US and Western European equivalents for comparable seniority, which is the reason most teams look here. The quality variance is also wider than in local markets — which is why vetting, interview rights and a replacement guarantee matter more than the headline rate. We publish our process precisely because the headline rate is the easiest thing to compare and the least useful.

Indicative monthly rates for full-time dedicated engineers:

Rates vary with stack scarcity, seniority and engagement length. No recruitment fee, no infrastructure cost, no payroll or benefits overhead — one monthly invoice per engineer. Part-time and hourly arrangements are available for specialist roles.

• You interview every engineer and can reject anyone, with no pressure to accept a bench candidate
• The engineer you interview is the engineer assigned — replacements need your approval and include a handover
• Timezone overlap agreed contractually before the engagement starts
• Two-week replacement guarantee, with ramp-up of the replacement unbilled
• Full IP ownership from the first commit, with documentation as a contracted deliverable
• Thirty days' notice to scale down, so you are not locked into capacity you stop needing

If you are evaluating vendors, ask each whether you can interview and reject candidates, and what happens when a developer underperforms. Send us your role requirements and we will shortlist within a week — and we are happy to start with one engineer before you commit to a team.
