Engagement models

How much do you want to manage yourself?

The only variable is who manages the day-to-day work. Everything operational is ours.

Every professional arrives AI-equipped: GitHub Copilot, Claude, automated testing. That is the baseline in every model, not a tier. How our teams use AI

Most clients start here

Dedicated Professional: you direct the work

You assign and prioritise; we handle HR, payroll, IT, and retention.

Best when you have technical leadership in-house.

Need us to take more of the management? Two options

Senior Professional: takes initiative

A senior who owns quality and coordinates lightly, so you manage less.

Managed Offshore Team: you own the roadmap

We run delivery, coordination, and quality; you set the outcomes.

Available as a pre-configured Engineering Pod

Whichever you choose, HR, payroll, compliance, IT and retention are always ours. What operational ownership includes

OFFSHORE, WITHOUT THE TRADE-OFF

Going offshore does not mean settling for less

Three things you do not give up by building your team with us, and the one thing you do.

Your engineers won't be less rigorous.

Every engineer is screened across 6 disciplines before placement: fundamentals, AI development skills, architecture, quality and testing, DevOps, and communication. AI writes much of the code; a human who has proven they can review, test and secure it owns every line.

Your operations won't be less covered.

Recruitment, payroll, HR, Philippine labour compliance, IP assignment, IT setup, performance monitoring and a replacement guarantee are in every engagement. Not a premium tier, the baseline. You never inherit any of it.

Your team won't be less stable.

Building teams since 2012, with founding clients still active today. Professionals belong to your team and to a community of 200+ IT peers, which is what makes them stay rather than move on after a project.

The only thing that's less: the cost. 50-60% less than hiring locally.
