Hire dedicated developers and development teams
Full-time engineers who join your standups, work in your repos and answer to your lead - one developer or a whole team, on a rolling monthly contract.
A dedicated development team is a group of developers from an outside company who work full-time on your product, and only yours. You set the priorities and manage the work like your own team; the provider handles hiring, payroll, equipment and replacement. You get engineering capacity without the months it takes to recruit it.
Here that means $2,800 per developer per month, onboarded within 48 hours of signing, with every line of code yours from the first commit. Start with one developer and grow to a full team. Deciding how to hire? Read how to hire dedicated developers.
Developers you can hire
Every developer is a MacroCoderz employee, not a resold contractor. Before you sign you get the named CV and a technical call with the person you would be getting.
Front-end developers
React, Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind. Design systems, accessible interfaces and performance work on the pages your users actually see.
Back-end developers
Node, Python, FastAPI, Postgres and Redis. APIs, data models, background jobs, integrations and the infrastructure underneath them.
Full-stack developers
One engineer across the whole feature, from database to interface. The usual first hire for a startup's dedicated software team.
Mobile developers
React Native for iOS and Android from one codebase, including store releases, push notifications and offline behaviour.
AI engineers
Retrieval, agents, LLM integrations and evaluation harnesses. The specialist version of this service is AI staff augmentation.
Hiring specifically for AI work? See AI staff augmentation, where every engineer has shipped LLM systems to production.
Who hires a dedicated team
A product company with more roadmap than engineers. A startup that has found traction with an MVP and needs to keep shipping while it recruits. A CTO who needs a specific skill - mobile, a second back-end developer, someone who has done AI - this quarter, not after a six-month search.
A dedicated software development team suits ongoing work where you want to direct priorities week to week. If you would rather hand over a defined scope and get a finished product back, a fixed-scope MVP build is the better fit.
What "dedicated" means here
- 01Full-time on your product. Not shared across accounts, not time-sliced, not rotated away when a bigger client appears.
- 02In your systems. Your Git host, issue tracker, Slack and cloud. No parallel project tracker, no status reports in place of access.
- 03Managed by you. They attend your ceremonies at your times and take direction from your lead, not from an account manager in the middle.
- 04Reviewed by us. Code review and architecture input from our senior engineers throughout the engagement, at no extra cost.
- 05Replaceable without friction. If the fit is wrong we replace the developer at no charge.
How you hire a dedicated team
- 01day 0
Brief
You describe the roles, the stack and the roadmap. We come back with the developers we would put on it and a time for a technical call.
- 02day 0-1
Interview
Your lead talks to each developer and runs whatever exercise you normally run. Say no and we propose someone else.
- 03day 1-2
Access
Repositories, cloud, Slack and your issue tracker. The sooner access arrives, the sooner week one is productive.
- 04day 2-3
First commit
A small, real ticket from your backlog, opened as a pull request your team reviews.
- 05any time
Scale
Add developers or roles as the roadmap grows, or step down with 30 days notice when it shrinks.
Dedicated team, staffing agency, recruiter or freelancer
These get confused, and they solve different problems. Here is what each actually gives you.
| Dedicated team | Staffing agency | Recruitment agency | Freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | Managed developers, full-time | Contractors placed with you | A permanent hire | One independent developer |
| Time to start | 48 hours to 2 weeks | 1-4 weeks | 3-6 months | Days |
| Who handles payroll and replacement | The provider | The agency | You, after the hire | The freelancer |
| Senior review included | Yes | Rarely | No | No |
| Best when | Ongoing roadmap, need capacity now | Short-term headcount | Long-term core roles | Small, well-defined tasks |
The honest version of when to use a recruiter instead of us is in dedicated development team vs staffing agency.
$2,800 per developer per month, 30 days notice to stop. Included: one full-time developer, 40 hours a week; onboarding and handover documentation; code review from our senior engineers; replacement at no charge.
Not included: cloud infrastructure, third-party licences and model API spend - these go on your accounts. Full rate card on the pricing page, and how we handle access and offboarding on the security page.
You do not need an engineering team to start
Describe the job you want done in plain words - answering customer questions, sorting incoming requests, pulling figures out of documents. On the first call we tell you whether AI is the right tool for it, roughly what it would cost and how long it would take.
If it is not worth building, we say so. If you are building a whole product rather than one tool, read how an AI product build works.
- Single-purpose agent$4,500-8,000
An assistant that answers your customers' questions from your own help pages and product documents, with a link to where each answer came from.
Typically 2-4 weeks - Production agent$8,000-18,000
An assistant that reads each incoming request, looks the customer up in your systems, drafts the reply and waits for a person on your team to approve it before anything is sent.
Typically 4-7 weeks
Frequently asked questions
$2,800 per developer per month for a full-time engineer, 40 hours a week. One month minimum, rolling, with 30 days notice to stop. Cloud, licences and tooling go on your own accounts.
Front-end (React, Next.js, TypeScript), back-end (Node, Python, Postgres), full-stack, mobile (React Native) and AI engineers. Most teams start with one or two developers and add roles as the roadmap grows.
Within 48 hours of signing when the role matches someone on our bench. If we need to source for a specific stack, expect 5 to 10 working days - and we tell you which case you are in before you sign.
Yes. You get the named CV and a technical call with the specific developer before anyone starts, and you can run your own take-home or pair-programming exercise.
No. A dedicated developer works full-time on your product only. They join your standups, work in your repositories and tools, and take direction from your lead.
Tell us and we propose a replacement at no charge, or give 30 days notice and we wind the engagement down. There is no replacement fee and no long minimum term.
You do, from the first commit. Everything is written in your repositories under a work-for-hire assignment, and we keep no licence or copy after offboarding.
Start with one developer
Tell us the stack and the roles. We come back with named developers, their CVs and a call.
