Dedicated team for a SaaS company

The need

The company had a growing product and a feature list longer than the internal team's capacity. Local hiring took too long, and fixed-scope contracts would have meant renegotiating at every change of priority.

How we started

• We proposed candidates within two weeks, and the client interviewed every person directly.

• The first two weeks went into context: product, codebase, processes, customers.

• We worked in the client's repository and board, under the same code review rules.

• We reported weekly on what shipped and what was blocked, with the reason.

How it evolved

The team gradually took on infrastructure as well: the delivery pipeline, monitoring and cloud cost reduction. After the first year, two of the engineers were leading product modules of their own.

Contract model

A monthly contract, invoiced in dollars, with 30 days' notice and full assignment of intellectual property. Documentation written by the team stays in the client's wiki, not with us.
