Dedicated Engineering Team pricing.
Dedicated engineers are priced as a fixed monthly retainer per seat, based on seniority level and specialization. There's no hourly billing or scope estimate involved, since the engineer is working inside your team's own backlog and priorities.
What changes the number.
- Seniority level of the seat (mid-level, senior, or specialist)
- Specialization required (backend, frontend, DevOps, mobile, data)
- Number of seats requested
- Length of commitment (longer commitments can affect monthly terms)
- Any specific domain expertise required for your industry or stack
Included
- A dedicated engineer matched to your required seniority and stack
- Full onboarding into your codebase, tools, and workflow
- Ongoing participation in your standups and sprint planning
- Monthly reporting on hours and completed work
- Regular check-ins to confirm fit and address any concerns
Not included
- Project management or scoping of the work itself, that stays with your team
- Equipment or software licenses specific to your internal tools
- Recruiting fees, this is a staffing retainer, not a placement fee
- Guaranteed output volume, since the engineer follows your team's own priorities
