Engagement
Hire Dedicated Development Teams
A self-contained squad — developers, QA, and a lead — running your roadmap as their only priority.
Overview
How squad hiring works.
Sometimes one developer is not enough. A dedicated squad gives you parallel workstreams — features, bugs, and releases moving at the same time — with a Blueshark lead coordinating quality and velocity.
Squads are composed for your stack: mobile + API, web + design, or AI + integration. You direct priorities; we staff and manage the team.
Models
Engagement options.
Lean squad
2 developers + lead — ideal for an active MVP or module ownership.
Full squad
3–4 developers + QA + lead — for roadmaps with parallel tracks.
Squad + design
Add a UI/UX designer when you need design and build in one unit.
Scale up/down
Add specialists (AI, DevOps) as phases require without re-onboarding a new vendor.

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 a dedicated team different from dedicated developers?
A dedicated developer is usually one engineer. A dedicated team is a coordinated squad with defined roles — developers, QA, and a lead — managed as a unit.
Who is my point of contact?
A Blueshark delivery lead handles staffing, escalations, and quality. Day-to-day product direction still comes from your product owner.
Can the squad composition change over time?
Yes. Start lean for discovery, add QA before launch, or bring in an AI specialist for a phase — we adjust roster with notice.
Do squads work exclusively on our product?
Yes. During your engagement the squad is not assigned to other client roadmaps.
What does a trial sprint look like for a squad?
We propose core members for your interview, run a two-week sprint on a real backlog slice, and debrief before you commit monthly.
