Software Outsourcing:

A Dedicated Tech Team
Without the Overhead

Building and maintaining an in-house engineering team is expensive, slow, and high-risk. We give you the technical capability you need, when you need it, without the hiring, management, and retention challenges.

Hiring one good senior engineer takes an average of 4 to 6 months. Then you have salaries, benefits, equipment, onboarding, and the risk that they leave 18 months later. Software outsourcing gives you access to a full technical team frontend, backend, design, QA for a fraction of the cost and risk of building that team in-house. And you can scale it up or down as your product needs change.

Our outsourcing models

01

Dedicated development team

A full engineering team assigned exclusively to your product typically including a tech lead, frontend developers, backend developers, and a QA engineer. The team operates as an extension of your organisation, joins your standups, uses your project management tools, and is accountable to your product roadmap. This is the right model for companies that have a continuous product development need but do not want to build an in-house team.

02

Staff augmentation

Individual engineers embedded into your existing team to fill specific skill gaps or increase capacity for a defined period. You manage the work. We provide the people. Useful when you have a surge in development demand, when you are missing a specific skill set for a project, or when you want to supplement a small in-house team without committing to a permanent hire.

03

Project-based development

A fixed-scope engagement where we own the delivery of a defined product or feature set. You provide the requirements and business context. We handle architecture, engineering, testing, and deployment. Project-based engagements work well for companies that need to build a specific thing and want a clear deliverable at a predictable cost rather than an ongoing team retainer.

Why companies choose us over other outsourcing options

English-first communication

Every client-facing team member communicates clearly in English. No communication overhead, no misunderstandings in requirements.

Timezone overlap

We work in timezones that overlap with US and European business hours. Real-time collaboration, not async-only communication.

IP and confidentiality protection

Full IP assignment, NDA, and data processing agreements before any work begins. You own everything we build.

Long-term relationships

We have a 99% client retention rate since 2017. We are not a project shop that disappears after delivery. We build long-term relationships with clients whose products we understand deeply.

Frequently asked questions

How do you handle knowledge transfer if we want to bring development in-house later?

We treat knowledge transfer as a standard part of every engagement, not a special project at the end. Documentation is maintained throughout development. Code is written to be readable and maintainable by developers who were not in the room when it was built. When clients want to bring development in-house, we support a structured handover that typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.

How do we ensure code quality from an outsourced team?

Every team we provide has a tech lead who is accountable for code quality standards. We use code review, automated testing, and agreed engineering standards on every project. Clients have full access to the code repository and can review any commit at any time. We welcome regular code audits by independent parties.

What is the minimum engagement size?

For dedicated team engagements, we typically work with clients who need at least two full-time engineers for a minimum of three months. Staff augmentation can be a single person for a defined period. Project-based engagements are scoped on a case-by-case basis.

How do you handle security for our proprietary systems and data?

All team members sign individual confidentiality agreements in addition to the company-level NDA. Access to client systems is limited to what is necessary for each engineer’s role. We can work within your existing security policies and access controls, or advise on appropriate controls if they are not yet in place.

Can we start with a small project to evaluate the team before committing to a longer engagement?

Yes, and we recommend it. A short initial project typically 4 to 8 weeks lets both sides evaluate the working relationship before committing to a longer engagement. Most of our long-term client relationships started with a small scoped project.
