Engagement
Hire Dedicated Developers
A developer — or squad — that works only on your product, with your tools and your roadmap.
Overview
How dedicated hiring works.
Dedicated hiring means your developers are not split across five clients. They learn your codebase, attend your standups, and ship against your priorities week after week.
We handle recruiting, equipment, and HR. You get senior engineers who integrate with Slack, Jira, Linear, or whatever your team already uses.
Models
Engagement options.
Full-time dedicated
40 hours per week on your product — best for active roadmaps and fast iteration.
Part-time dedicated
20 hours per week for maintenance, a specific module, or a phased build.
Dedicated squad
Developer + QA + lead engineer when you need a self-contained unit.
Team extension
Embed alongside your in-house team without replacing your tech lead.

Onboarding
From intro call to first sprint.
Discovery call
We learn your stack, sprint rhythm, timezone overlap, and the skills you need on day one.
Developer match
We shortlist engineers with relevant production work. You interview them before anyone starts.
Trial sprint
A short paid sprint to validate fit, communication, and velocity before a longer engagement.
Scale up
Add hours, developers, or QA as your roadmap grows — same team, no re-onboarding.
FAQ
Questions about dedicated hiring.
How is dedicated hiring different from a project quote?
A project quote is fixed scope and deliverables. Dedicated hiring is ongoing capacity — you direct the backlog and we provide engineers month to month.
Who manages the developers day to day?
You do. Our developers join your ceremonies and report to your product lead. We provide a Blueshark lead for quality and escalation.
What is the minimum engagement?
We typically start with a two-week trial sprint, then move to a monthly dedicated arrangement.
Can I hire just one developer?
Yes. Most clients start with one senior engineer and add QA or a second developer as velocity needs grow.
Do I own the code?
Yes. All work product and IP belong to you under our standard agreement.
