Dedicated Development Team

Your own dedicated development team, without building one from scratch.

Hire a dedicated development team that works only on your product: engineers, QA, and the roles you need, coordinated by us and aligned to your roadmap. You set the direction. We handle recruiting, retention, and the day-to-day of running the team. It is the closest thing to your own engineering department, without the hiring overhead.

You need a team, not just a hire.

Building an engineering team is slow and expensive. Recruiting takes months, good people are hard to keep, and every departure resets the context you spent so long building. Meanwhile your roadmap does not wait. You need a team that is genuinely yours, focused only on your product, that grows and shrinks with your plans, without you having to run the hiring machine behind it.

A standing team that's yours, run by us.

A dedicated development team is a group of engineers, and the supporting roles you need, who work exclusively on your product over the long term. You own the roadmap, the priorities, and the code. We own keeping the team staffed, coordinated, and motivated. Because our client retention is over 80%, the people who learn your product tend to stay on it, so the context compounds instead of resetting.

Exclusive focus.

The team works on your product and only your product. No context-switching across clients.

You set direction, we run the team.

You own the roadmap and priorities. We handle recruiting, retention, coordination, and role mix.

Cross-functional by design.

Front end, back end, full-stack, QA, and DevOps as your product needs them, from a 20+ person bench.

Scales with your roadmap.

Add roles when you accelerate, hold steady when you consolidate. Monthly rolling after the initial commitment.

Retention that protects context.

80%+ client retention means the engineers who learn your product stay on it.

Your code, your IP.

100% yours, with clean documentation and zero lock-in.

Dedicated Team vs Staff Augmentation vs Full Project Delivery

Three engagement models, one honest way to pick. This is the part most agencies blur. Here is the plain difference.

Staff Augmentation

Individual engineers embed into your existing team, under your day-to-day management. Best when you have a team and a lead and just need more hands in a specific skill.

Resource augmentation →

Dedicated Development Team

A standing, cross-functional team that works only on your product. You set the roadmap; we manage the team itself. Best when you need a whole team over the long run but do not want to build and run one in-house.

You are here.

Full Project Delivery

We take a defined product and build it end to end with our own project manager, then hand it over. Best when you have a scope and want us to own delivery to launch.

Full project delivery →

If you already have a strong engineering lead and only need extra hands, staff augmentation is cheaper and simpler, and we will point you there. The dedicated team model earns its keep when you need a whole team and want us to carry the burden of running it.

How it works

1

Discovery and team design

We learn your product, roadmap, and the roles you need, then propose a team shape that fits.

2

Team assembly

We match specific engineers from our team, pre-vetted on real work. You interview them directly.

3

Two-week embedded trial

The team starts inside your tools and workflows. You see real output before any long-term commitment.

4

Ongoing delivery

The team runs to your roadmap with regular demos and reporting. Monthly rolling after the initial commitment.

5

Scale as you go

Add or adjust roles as your product grows. The core team stays, so context stays.

Teams we've built this way

PerformLine

PerformLine started with one engineer and grew into a dedicated cross-functional squad of eight-plus over two years: full-stack, DevOps, QA, and data, all working inside their repos and pipelines. Read the full case study →

Eitoss

Eitoss started with an MVP build and became a 2yr+ partnership as the team kept building with them, adding scope as the product grew.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dedicated development team?
It is a standing, cross-functional team that works exclusively on your product over the long term. You set the roadmap and priorities and own the code. We handle recruiting, retention, and running the team. It is the closest thing to your own engineering department without the overhead of building one.
How is a dedicated team different from staff augmentation?
With staff augmentation, individual engineers embed into your existing team under your day-to-day management. A dedicated team is a whole team, managed by us, working only on your product. If you already have a lead and just need extra hands, staff augmentation is simpler and we will point you there. The dedicated team model fits when you need a full team and want us to run it.
How is it different from full project delivery?
In full project delivery we take a defined scope, build it end to end with our own project manager, and hand it over. A dedicated team is ongoing: you drive the roadmap week to week and the team keeps building with you. Choose delivery for a scoped build to launch, and a dedicated team for continuous, long-term product work.
Can I scale the team up or down?
Yes. You add roles when you accelerate and hold steady when you consolidate. The core team stays, so the context they built does not reset. Engagement is monthly rolling after the initial commitment.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do, 100%, from day one, with clean documentation and zero lock-in. If you ever want to bring the team's work fully in-house, we help with the transition.
How do you keep the same people on my product?
Retention is the point of this model. Our client retention is over 80%, and the engineers on your team are full-time members of our company, not contractors we rotate. The people who learn your product stay on it, which is what makes a dedicated team worth more than a stream of individual hires.
