Engagement models

Four ways to work with us.

Pick the shape that matches how much is known. We'll tell you if you've picked the wrong one.

Best for
Ongoing product development, a backlog that never ends

Dedicated team

A stable, named team — engineers, tech lead, delivery manager — working only on your systems under your priorities. Monthly billing per engineer; minimum three engineers for six months.

  • Your roadmap, our hiring and retention
  • US delivery lead + India engineering
  • Weekly delivery review, monthly report
  • Build-operate-transfer available
Best for
Running what you already have, reliably and cheaper

Managed services

We take ownership of operations for your applications and infrastructure: monitoring, on-call, patching, incidents, cost. Annual contract with a 90-day exit clause and SLA credits.

  • Written SLAs for availability, response, resolution
  • 24×7 on-call, US-hours overlap
  • Post-mortem on every incident
  • Quarterly toil-reduction roadmap
Best for
A well-defined system with a clear finish line

Fixed-scope project

After a short paid discovery, we quote a fixed price and a date for a defined scope with acceptance criteria. Changes are priced, not absorbed silently.

  • Paid discovery first — you keep the document
  • Acceptance criteria before code
  • Milestone billing
  • Warranty period after go-live
Best for
Specific skills your team is missing, on your process

Staff augmentation

Individual senior engineers embedded in your team, on your tools and your rituals. Useful when you have the management and need the hands.

  • Senior only; we don't place juniors
  • Two-week trial, replace at no cost
  • Monthly rolling
  • Converts to a dedicated team when it grows

Onboarding

How an engagement starts

  1. Week 0

    Scoping call

    One hour with a delivery lead and an architect. We'll tell you which model fits and what we'd need to see.

  2. Week 1–2

    Discovery

    Paid, short, and yours to keep: system inventory, risks, an estimate you can take elsewhere.

  3. Week 3–4

    Team assembly

    Named engineers with CVs and interviews if you want them. Access provisioned through your identity provider.

  4. Week 5+

    Delivery

    First production change in the first sprint. Weekly reviews from then on.
