A dedicated engineering team in India

    If you'd rather not hire at all, AlgoSmiths can run a dedicated engineering team for you from New Delhi: engineers who work only on your product, with a Tech Lead who owns delivery, weekly demos and one monthly invoice. Every engineer on the team has passed the same engineer-led interview we use for client hires.

    Tell us the roleCompare all ways to hire

    A good fit if

    • Companies that need a product built or extended but don't want to manage engineers
    • Founders without a technical co-founder who need someone to own delivery
    • Teams that want India-based engineers working in their hours for handoffs

    Not the right service for

    • Teams that want to employ the engineers themselves: use permanent hiring or EOR
    • One-off tasks of a few days
    • Non-engineering teams such as finance or customer support

    How it works

    1. 1

      Scope the outcome

      We start from what needs to ship and by when, not from a headcount. Together we decide the team size and skills.

    2. 2

      Form the team

      We assign engineers and a Tech Lead, and set up the channels, tools and working hours with you.

    3. 3

      Sprints with weekly demos

      Work runs in sprints. You see working software every week, and the Tech Lead reports progress and risks.

    4. 4

      Adjust as you go

      Scale the team up or down as the roadmap changes, or hire people onto your payroll through AlgoSmiths Talent later.

    What's included

    • Engineers dedicated to your product
    • A Tech Lead who owns delivery
    • Weekly demos and progress reports
    • Code in your repositories, IP assigned to you
    • Employment, payroll and equipment handled by AlgoSmiths
    • One monthly invoice

    How pricing works

    A predictable monthly fee for the team, based on its size and seniority. We price it once we understand what needs to ship, and don't bill by the hour.

    Questions we get asked

    With hiring, the engineer joins your payroll and you manage them. With a dedicated team, AlgoSmiths employs the engineers and our Tech Lead manages delivery.

    You do. Code lives in your repositories and our agreement assigns the work product and IP to your company.

    We agree working hours upfront. India time overlaps with European mornings and US evenings, which many teams use for daily handoffs.
