Dedicated software development team.
Offshore backend, frontend and full-stack engineers work only on your product, as a dedicated software development team. We hire them for your codebase, put them on our payroll and seat them in our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand. You set the priorities and own the code. A service delivery manager keeps an eye on delivery and goes through it with you every two weeks.
What you get and what you pay.
Offshore staffing and staff augmentation usually end once a developer is found, and the managing becomes your job. We keep that job. The engineers we assign to your product are employed, equipped and coached by Azendo, and a service delivery manager is the one you call.

Roles in a dedicated development team.
Four engineering roles have their own pages below. For anything else, from QA to data, we assign people from our ten other service areas, with the same service delivery manager as your contact.
What a dedicated software development team builds.
A dedicated development team takes work from your backlog and carries it to production, in your repositories, your tools and your sprint rhythm. The engineers we assign stay with Azendo for 3.3 years on average, so what they learn about your codebase keeps paying off for your product. It is a managed development team: you set the direction and accept the work, and we look after the people, their training and the weekly reporting.
- Feature developmentStories from your backlog, built, reviewed and shipped in your codebase.
- Integrations and APIsPayment providers, CRMs and the other systems your product depends on, connected and kept working.
- Code review and quality gatesTests, static analysis and a coverage floor agreed with you before the first sprint.
- Performance and technical debtRefactoring and speed work planned into your sprints, so the platform stays easy to change.
- Architecture decisionsA software architect joins when the question is structural: boundaries, scaling and data models.
- DocumentationDecisions and setup written down, so new people can find their way around the codebase.

What a dedicated software development team is.
A dedicated software development team is a group of engineers who work full time on one company's product and nothing else. The client sets the priorities and owns the code. The provider employs the engineers, manages them and answers for delivery. At Azendo, a service delivery manager works as your account manager and with our Talent Success team.
Where it pays off most
A dedicated team pays off when the product keeps growing and you plan to build on it for years. The same engineers stay on it, so what they learn about your codebase keeps adding up. It suits product leads who want to direct the work without hiring, housing and managing the people themselves.

Questions about a dedicated software development team.
What is a dedicated software development team?
A dedicated software development team is a group of engineers who work full time on one client's product, in that client's tools and sprints, for as long as the product needs them. With Azendo the engineers are ours: we employ, train and manage them, and you direct the work.
How much does a dedicated software development team cost?
Backend, frontend and full stack developers start from USD 2,200 per month at junior level, and a software architect from USD 4,500 at mid-level, all full time. That price includes delivery management, a Talent Success Manager and training, a desk and equipment in our office, and HR and payroll. Mid-level and senior levels are priced in your proposal. See how the monthly fee is built.
How is this different from staff augmentation?
With staff augmentation a provider supplies a developer and the managing stays with you. We deliver the same staffing as a fully managed service: a service delivery manager oversees delivery, a Talent Success Manager develops every engineer, and we take full accountability for the service. Staff augmentation vs managed services sets the two models side by side.
How quickly can you hire the team?
Our time to hire is four weeks from signing, and we agree it with you before the search begins. Your first invoice follows a team member's first day with you. Companies that want to hire dedicated developers for a single role start the same way.
Who owns the code and the product decisions?
You do. The engineers work in your repositories under your access rules, you set the priorities and accept the work, and the code belongs to you from the first commit. Our managers stay out of your systems and follow delivery through tracked hours, your Friday score and the monthly delivery report.
Can we choose the stack and the seniority?
Yes. We match every engineer to the stack you run today, agreed at scoping, and the lists above show what we see most often. Junior is the starting point, and mid-level and senior levels are priced in your proposal. If you run something less common, we search for it.
Can a dedicated development team add other service areas later?
Yes. QA, DevOps, mobile and design join under the same agreement, in the same sprints and with the same service delivery manager. You decide when, based on where the work is slowing down.
Are these remote developers or outsourced developers?
Both words fit, with one difference: these are our offshore developers, employed by Azendo and assigned to you full time, not freelancers or a project vendor. They work in your repositories, your chat and your sprints, mostly from our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok and up to two days a week from home through a secure VPN.
Service areas that join a dedicated development team.
Each role joins under the same agreement, works in the same sprints and reports to the same service delivery manager. You add one when your product calls for it.
