Dedicated software development team.
Backend, frontend and full-stack engineers work only on your product, as a dedicated software development team. Azendo employs, trains and manages them from its own offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand. You set the priorities and own the code. A service delivery manager answers for what ships, every week.
What you get and what you pay.
With offshore staffing or staff augmentation, the provider finds a software engineer and the managing is left to you. We do it as a full service. The software engineers are ours: we employ them, assign them to you full time, give them an office and equipment, train and coach them, and run delivery with you every week.

What a dedicated software development team works on.
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 roadmap. It is a managed development team: you set the direction and accept the work, and we look after the people, the quality bar 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 runs the team with you every week.
Where it pays off most
A dedicated team pays off when the product keeps growing and the roadmap runs 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 roadmap 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 3,600 per month, and a software architect from USD 4,500, at mid-level and full time. The fee covers the engineer and everything around them: delivery management, a Talent Success Manager and coaching, the office and equipment, HR and payroll. Junior 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 runs the team, a Talent Success Manager develops every engineer, and we answer for delivery every week. Staff augmentation vs managed services sets the two models side by side.
How quickly can the team start?
A team starts four to six weeks after signing. We agree a time to hire with you before the search begins, and 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, weekly reports and your delivery score.
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. Mid-level is the starting point, and junior and senior levels are priced in your proposal. If you run something less common, we search for it.
Can the team grow into other disciplines later?
Yes. QA, DevOps, mobile and design join under the same agreement, in the same sprints and with the same service delivery manager, and capacity moves up or down at the next monthly cycle. You decide when, based on where the roadmap is slowing down.
Disciplines that join a dedicated development team.
Each discipline joins under the same agreement, works in the same sprints and reports to the same service delivery manager. You add one at the next monthly cycle, when the roadmap calls for it.
