Hire a dedicated development team # Hire dedicated developers without managing them yourself. Hire dedicated developers who work full time on your product from Azendo's own offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand.

Companies that want to hire offshore developers usually choose between three routes. They look alike on a rate card. What sets them apart is how fast the work starts, and how much of your own week goes into running a team in another country. Time from decision to first commit Your own entity abroad Six months or more Employer of record One to three months Managed team with Azendo Four to six weeks A managed team starts in four to six weeks because the recruiting, the employment and the office already exist. ### Your own entity abroad Who recruits You Who manages day to day You, plus a country manager Best when You want a permanent office abroad and have a senior person to run it ### Employer of record Who recruits You Who manages day to day You Best when You want to employ specific people and can take on the management ### Managed team with Azendo Who recruits Azendo Who manages day to day Azendo, with a service delivery manager Best when You want the capacity and the output, with the management handled Your own entity gives you full control. It also means company registration, work permits, payroll, an office lease and local employment law before anyone writes a line of code. An employer of record takes care of the legal side, and you still recruit, equip, plan and manage the team yourself. A managed team moves both the employment and the management to the provider, so your people stay focused on the product. ## What you get with Azendo. When you hire dedicated developers through Azendo, you get a team that's ready to work, with everything around it already in place. It's [staff augmentation](https://azendo.co/blog/engagement-models/staff-augmentation/) and [offshore staffing](https://azendo.co/blog/engagement-models/offshore-staffing/) done as a fully managed service: the developers are ours, and so is the work of employing, training and looking after them. * ### Named specialists, full time on your product They join your standups, work in your repositories and follow your sprint rhythm. Your product is the only one they work on. * ### A service delivery manager who answers for delivery Planning, quality and reporting run through your [service delivery manager](https://azendo.co/how-it-works/), who is accountable for what ships every sprint. * ### Our own offices and equipment Your team works from our floors in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, on our equipment and our network. * ### Your code and your access Our developers work inside your tools. Only the specialists on your team hold credentials, and the code is always yours. * ### Specialists who keep improving Every specialist has a Talent Success Manager, a development plan and AI training through our Academy. * ### One fixed monthly fee One agreement and one invoice for the whole team, the same amount every month for an agreed number of hours. ## Hire remote developers or a managed offshore team? If you're looking to hire remote software developers, you've already decided that great engineering doesn't need a shared building. The question left is who runs the team. When you hire remote developers directly, you handle * Sourcing, interviews and contracts * Payroll, equipment and local employment rules * Onboarding and daily standups * Performance reviews and holidays * Replacing people who move on 4 to 8 hours a week of management per specialist, our own estimate from engagements where the client runs the people With a managed offshore team from Azendo You * Set the roadmap and priorities * Review the work * Own the code Azendo * Recruiting and employment * Day-to-day management * Quality and reporting * Training and development * Replacements ## How to hire a dedicated development team through Azendo. 1. Day one ### Tell us about your roadmap Thirty minutes on what the team will work on, which disciplines it needs and how it fits your sprint rhythm. 2. Before anyone is assigned ### Meet your proposed team Named specialists, the disciplines they cover and the monthly hours. You talk to them and review the proposal first. 3. One agreement ### Sign once, for the whole team A single monthly fee, with IP assignment, confidentiality and security terms written in. 4. Four to six weeks after signing ### Your team starts Working in your repositories, with your service delivery manager accountable for what ships. When you hire a remote development team of several specialists, it works like our [dedicated software development team](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/): one agreement, one service delivery manager and every discipline your product needs. If you're still comparing models, [staff augmentation vs managed services](https://azendo.co/blog/engagement-models/staff-augmentation-vs-managed-services/) puts them side by side.

Our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok are five hours ahead of Northern Europe in summer and six in winter. Your morning overlaps with your team's afternoon, so a blocker raised at 9am in Europe is usually cleared the same day. **Chiang Mai** Headquarters since 2010 **Bangkok** JL Tower, 20th floor A working day in Copenhagen or Berlin time, summer Your team in Thailand, 09:00 to 18:00 Your day in Europe, 09:00 to 17:00 Four shared working hours every day in summer and three in winter, with the Thai team already a morning ahead. We cover the Thai engineering market in [IT outsourcing Thailand](https://azendo.co/blog/thailand-and-offshore/software-development-in-thailand/) and compare it with the Philippines in [Thailand and the Philippines](https://azendo.co/blog/thailand-and-offshore/thailand-vs-philippines/). Developers here stay with the same product for years. On a long roadmap, that continuity is worth more than any rate difference. ## What it costs to hire software developers offshore. Every route has a rate you can put in a spreadsheet. The cost that varies most is management time, and it never shows up in a quote. With your own entity or an employer of record, someone senior on your side runs a team in another country, time zone and employment system. When you hire dedicated developers through Azendo, you pay one fixed monthly fee for a [committed monthly capacity](https://azendo.co/pricing/) in hours. A mid-level developer starts from USD 3,600 per month, fully managed. The fee is the same every month, and you get one invoice for the whole team. * [Backend developer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/backend-developer/)from USD 3,600 * [Frontend developer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/frontend-developer/)from USD 3,600 * [Full stack developer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/full-stack-developer/)from USD 3,600 * [iOS developer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-mobile-development-team/ios-developer/)from USD 3,900 * [QA engineer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-qa-and-testing-team/qa-engineer/)from USD 3,300 * [DevOps engineer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-cloud-and-devops-team/devops-engineer/)from USD 3,900 * [Data engineer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-data-engineering-team/data-engineer/)from USD 3,900 * [AI engineer](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-ai-engineering-team/ai-engineer/)from USD 4,200 Mid-level, full time and fully managed, per month. Junior and senior levels are priced in your proposal. [See how pricing works](https://azendo.co/pricing/) Included in the monthly fee * Our specialists, assigned to you full time * Delivery management and reporting * Training, development and AI certification * Employment, payroll and local compliance * Office, equipment and security Never on the invoice * An upfront fee * A separate management charge * An assessment fee ## What protects you if something goes wrong. ### The match isn't right You meet the team before anyone starts. If a specialist turns out not to be the right fit, we find the one who is. ### Someone leaves We find and onboard the replacement, and your roadmap keeps moving. Documentation standards keep the knowledge in more than one head. ### Your code and IP The roadmap, the priorities and the code are yours. IP assignment and confidentiality are in the standard agreement, and we sign an NDA before you share details. ### Your plans change There is no lock-in. Capacity moves up or down at the monthly cycle, and the agreement sets a clear notice period. ### You want to see it first Visit our offices in Chiang Mai or Bangkok, meet the specialists who would join your team and see how delivery runs. [Ask us anything else Thirty minutes with a service delivery manager, on your roadmap and your questions. Book a meeting →](https://azendo.co/book-a-meeting/) ## Questions about hiring dedicated developers. How do we hire dedicated developers without opening a company abroad? Through a managed provider that already employs the developers. We recruit, employ and manage your team in our own offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. You set the roadmap and review the work. Your team starts four to six weeks after signing, with no entity, payroll or work permits on your side. What's the difference between hiring remote developers and a managed offshore team? When you hire remote developers yourself, you also manage them: standups, performance, holidays and replacing people who leave. With a managed offshore team, the provider handles all of that and answers for what the team delivers. The engineering work looks the same. The workload on your side is much lighter. Is it cheaper to hire developers in Thailand than at home? Usually, yes, and the bigger win is continuity. Our specialists stay with Azendo for 3.3 years on average, so what they learn about your codebase stays in your team. The monthly fee also covers delivery management, the office, equipment, training and HR, which a local hire adds on top of salary. Can we review the developers before they join? Yes. You meet the proposed team and review the proposal before anyone is assigned. We select, employ and manage the specialists, and you have the final say on who works on your product. If someone turns out not to be the right fit, we find the right person. Can we start small? Yes. You can start with one or two specialists and add roles as the roadmap grows. We'll suggest a team shape that fits your backlog, including someone to plan and review the work, and new roles join at the next monthly cycle under the same agreement. How much time zone overlap will we have? Thailand is on UTC+7: five hours ahead of Northern Europe in summer and six in winter, and three to four hours behind Sydney. Either way, you share several working hours with your team every day, and your service delivery manager plans standups and reviews inside that window. ## Plan your dedicated development team with us. Tell us what you're building and where you need capacity. A service delivery manager replies within one business day with the team we'd suggest, the monthly hours and a start date.
