How it works
Offshore development has a reputation problem it has largely earned: vendors who sell seniority and staff juniors, who promise overlap and deliver email, and who cannot answer a security questionnaire without a month's notice. The three things that fix it are a published rate band so the seniority matches the price, a contracted overlap window, and certifications that can be verified rather than displayed.
We hold ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Our sister companies are an AWS Advanced Partner and a compliance consultancy that runs ISO and SOC programmes for other firms. That means a CISO review is a conversation we are equipped for, not an obstacle that delays your start by six weeks.
Engagements run in your repository, your pipeline and your ticket tracker from day one. There is no parallel offshore process and no handover event at the end.
Choosing the right model
When another model fits better
If the project has no technical owner on your side and no written definition of done, offshore delivery will fail however good the engineers are. Fix that first — or buy a fixed-scope project where we own the definition and carry the risk.
Every engagement model here is priced on the rates page, so you can compare the options rather than take our word for which one fits.

All-inclusive and indicative, shown so you can compare us against a local hire. Monthly figures assume 160 hours a month and the same for the day-rate markets, so the two always reconcile. Engagements are contracted as a monthly capacity fee or a fixed-scope deliverable, with our own delivery lead accountable for the outcome — see engagement models. There is no setup fee, no recruitment fee and no management surcharge.
Questions
Offshore software development
- How do we know the engineer is as senior as the CV says?
- You interview them. Every shortlist goes through your own technical interview before anyone starts, and the rate band tells you which seniority you are being quoted.
- What happens to our intellectual property?
- It is yours from creation, assigned comprehensively, exclusively, irrevocably and perpetually in the agreement. This also matters for tax in Germany, where a licence rather than an assignment triggers withholding on the invoice.
- Where will our data sit?
- Set out in the DPA and on the security page: named sub-processors, access on least privilege, no production data on developer machines, and hosting in your region where you require it.
