Dedicated Developers Who Are Contributing In Week One
A team that works only on your product, follows your process and is accountable for what it ships.
What Is The Dedicated Developer Model?
A dedicated developer is a full-time engineer employed by SyntecHire who works on one client only. You set priorities and review the work. We handle hiring, payroll, equipment and continuity.
It sits between hiring in-house and outsourcing a project. You keep control of the roadmap without carrying the cost and delay of recruitment.
Who This Model Is For
CTOs and VPs of Engineering
You have a roadmap and a process. You need more capable hands inside it.
Founders and CEOs
You need a product built and a team that will still be there after launch.
Delivery Leads
You need predictable capacity that does not disappear between projects.
Governance And Accountability
