What A Dedicated Development Team Actually Is

A dedicated development team is a group of engineers who work only on your product, billed monthly per seat instead of per project. You set the roadmap and the priorities. They work in your tools, on your board, inside your process. Stallyons carries the employment side: contracts, payroll, equipment, cover and replacement. What you keep is control of the work.

Stallyons runs these teams for founders, CTOs and product leaders in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe, the Middle East, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. We are a US-registered company with engineers who work global hours: one contract, one invoice, one entity to run diligence on, and people who are online when you are. Most clients come to us after something else went wrong first: a marketplace freelancer who vanished, or a local hire that took months to land.

The Full Dedicated Team Range

Team assembly and vetting: we source, screen and shortlist against your stack, seniority bar, timezone and communication needs, then send profiles for every role so you interview and approve each hire.

Ring-fenced capacity: your engineers work on your product only. No shared allocation, no rotating faces, no week where your developer is quietly pulled onto someone else's sprint.

Delivery management where you want it: run the team yourself, or take a pod with a delivery lead who handles sprint mechanics, estimates and reporting while you set the priorities.

Process integration: your Jira or Linear, your GitHub or GitLab, your Slack, your review rules, your definition of done. We adapt to your workflow instead of exporting ours.

Continuity and cover: documented onboarding, briefed backups on the critical roles, and a written handover before anyone rolls off, so knowledge stays inside your company.

Commercial flexibility: monthly billing per seat, one contract to sign, and the freedom to reshape the team as the roadmap shifts rather than as a hiring plan lets you move.

Why Companies Hire Dedicated Developers Instead Of Recruiting

How to Start With Your Dedicated Team

Every engagement starts with a free 45-minute strategy session. No slide deck, no sales script. You bring the roles and the roadmap; you leave with a recommended team shape, a clear scope and a timeline.

We are selective about new engagements and cap how many teams we run at once, because the vetting is the product. If we cannot staff your stack with engineers we would vouch for, we say so.

Common Challenges

Is Hiring Slowing Your Roadmap Down?

Six problems we hear on almost every discovery call. If two or more sound familiar, another job posting is not the fix.

A Quarter To Hire

01

Post the role, sift two hundred CVs, run four interview rounds, negotiate, then wait out a notice period. By the time your new hire is productive the roadmap has moved on.

Salaries Price You Out

02

Senior engineers in London, Sydney, Toronto or the Bay Area cost more than most funded teams planned for. Employer taxes and recruiter fees follow.

Great CV, Wrong Fit

03

Interviews test how people perform in interviews. A perfect CV can take six weeks to reveal that the person cannot work without a full spec.

Knowledge Walks

04

When someone leaves, the recruiting bill is not what hurts. The undocumented knowledge goes with them, and the next hire spends a month rebuilding it.

Headcount Only Goes Up

05

Headcount is a one-way door. Hire four engineers for a big release and you carry four salaries into the quiet quarter that follows. Reductions are slow work.

Managing People Eats Days

06

Onboarding, one-to-ones, payroll, hardware, leave cover and reviews. Founders who wanted to build a product end up running HR.

Recognize a few of these? Let's fix the hiring part.

Our Services

6 Ways To Hire A Dedicated Team With Us

Same engineers, different amounts of management. Pick the model that matches how much you want to run day to day.

Dedicated Development Teams

01

A ring-fenced team that works on your product and nothing else. Named engineers, one monthly cost per seat, and the same faces in stand-up every morning.

Staff Augmentation

02

Drop one or more engineers into your existing team. They use your tools, follow your process, attend your ceremonies and report to your own tech lead.

Long-Term Team Extension

03

A longer-horizon version of augmentation. Same onboarding, same access, same expectations, same retros, without carrying the headcount.

Managed Delivery Pod Teams

04

A self-contained pod of engineers, QA and design with a delivery lead who owns a slice of the roadmap. You set outcomes; we run the mechanics.

Specialist On-Demand Devs

05

Short, sharp engagements for problems that need one deep skill: a cloud migration, a performance rescue, a legacy module nobody wants to touch.

Build, Operate & Transfer Teams

06

We recruit and run the team, then hand it over. You get a working, documented, delivering unit and the option to take it fully in-house later on.

Not sure which model fits your roadmap? Let's scope it together.

Why Choose Us

What You Get When You Hire Dedicated Developers From Us

The practical details that decide whether a dedicated team works, not the ones that demo well.

You Approve Everyone

01

We shortlist, you decide. Every candidate gets a technical interview with your team first. Nobody is assigned without your yes.

Real Hours Overlap

02

Teams are scheduled around your working day, with an agreed live overlap window where stand-ups, reviews and escalations happen.

In Your Toolchain

03

Your Jira or Linear, your GitHub, your Slack, your review rules, your definition of done. The team disappears into yours.

IP Signed Up Front

04

NDA and IP assignment go in before any repo, credential or design file changes hands. Everything produced on the engagement is yours.

Cover Built In

05

Holidays, sickness and exits are ours to handle. On critical roles a second engineer is already briefed.

One Contract

06

One contract, one invoice, one accountable partner. No juggling freelancer invoices in four different currencies.

"We came to Stallyons after burning two years and four vendors on a multi-platform launch that kept slipping. They scoped it end-to-end — web app, iOS, Android, an AI summarization layer, and a Shopify integration — and shipped it in 22 weeks. One team, one budget, one quality bar. We've handed them three more engagements since."

"Stallyons rebuilt our customer-facing portal, integrated three legacy systems, shipped an AI document analysis pipeline, and brought our compliance posture to SOC 2 — all under one engagement. The senior engineers on the team have shipped at companies five times our size. It's the best vendor decision we've made in a decade."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring Teams

It is a group of engineers who work exclusively on one client’s product for the length of an engagement, billed monthly per seat rather than per project. You direct their work and they use your tools and process, while we handle employment, payroll, equipment and cover. The difference from project outsourcing is control: you own the roadmap, not a fixed scope document.
Staff augmentation drops individual engineers into your existing team, where they report to your lead and follow your process. A dedicated team is a ring-fenced group working as a unit on your product, often with its own delivery lead running sprint mechanics. Pick augmentation when your team is solid but short-handed; pick a dedicated team when you need capacity you do not have the management bandwidth to run yourself.
Start with a short call covering your stack, roadmap, roles and working hours. We send vetted profiles for each open seat, you interview whoever you like and approve the ones you want, then contracts, access and onboarding follow. Your engineer joins stand-up and picks up a first ticket.
Yes, always. We shortlist and you decide. You can run a technical screen, a system-design conversation, a take-home or a pair session — whatever you would use for a direct hire. Nobody is assigned to your account without your approval.
Yes, and it is the main reason clients choose this over headcount. You can add engineers, reduce the team, or swap roles as the roadmap changes — a backend seat becoming a QA seat, for example. Anyone rolling off writes a documented handover first, so scaling down does not cost you context.
You do, completely, from the first commit. NDA and IP assignment are signed before anyone gets repo access, with no licence-back and no shared ownership. Credentials, repositories, design files and documentation stay in your own accounts throughout the engagement.
You agree an overlap window at the start, so there is live crossover with your working day whether you sit in North America, the UK and Europe, the Middle East, Singapore, or Australia and New Zealand. Stand-ups, code reviews and escalations happen inside that window, work is tracked on your board, and you get a written summary plus a regular review with a named account lead.
Tell your account lead. Changing who sits in a dedicated seat is a scheduling conversation rather than a performance process, and the code already written stays yours under the IP assignment either way. Before anyone rolls off they document decisions, known issues and open threads so the next engineer is not starting cold.
