Hire a Dedicated Developer

You need one more good engineer in the stack you already use, not a new supplier relationship. We assess them ourselves, you interview them yourself, and the rate is on the table before you meet anyone.

Transparent hourly or daily rate, quoted on the intro call. Minimum engagement of 3 months.

What is a dedicated development team?

A dedicated development team, sometimes called staff augmentation, is an arrangement where a provider allocates named engineers to work exclusively on a client's product, inside the client's own process and tooling, charged per developer rather than per project. Metamindz allocates engineers who have been technically vetted by CTOs, on an hourly or daily rate with a minimum engagement of three months, across frontend, backend, full-stack, mobile, data, QA, DevOps and e-commerce stacks.

How per-developer works with us

🧪

Vetted by people who write code

Every engineer is assessed by our CTOs and senior developers before they reach you: architecture questions, live coding, and a look at how they behave when they do not know the answer. No CV-forwarding.

👋

You meet them first

You interview the engineer before anything is agreed, in whatever format you normally use. If they are not right for your team, you do not take them.

🔧

Works inside your process

Your board, your repo, your standups, your definition of done. The engineer joins the way a new hire would, rather than working behind a supplier wall and sending updates over the fence.

💷

Transparent and reversible

A clear hourly or daily rate with no markup you cannot see, a three-month minimum, and the option to scale up, swap or stop at the end of the term.

Two ways to work with us

Per-developer gives you capacity inside a team you already run. The Core Team gives you a complete delivery unit, with the architecture, delivery management and quality control owned by us.

Per-developer

From today to results

  • Step 1

    Tell us the requirement

    The stack, the seniority, the kind of work, and how your team runs. A short call is usually enough.

  • Step 2

    We put forward vetted engineers

  • Step 3

    You interview and decide

    You meet them, you decide. Onboarding starts once you are happy, with a minimum engagement of three months.

“Great working with Lev and team at MetaMindz! We were working on a project to build new features in our mobile app. Lev was brilliant with managing the project and supporting the definition of tasks to complete with his insight on the user experience. The dev team was very responsive throughout by sharing updates on both Slack and our project management board in Asana. I look forward to continuing to work with MetaMindz in the future.” source

“Working with Lev at Metamindz has been an absolute pleasure. The level of service and personal input has been outstanding since the beginning. Lev, was able to find the right people, talent and skills required. But the service does not end there, the aftersales, the advice, the attention to detail are all outstanding. If we had any concerns, they were dealt with immediately and with regular follow-ups. Metamindz are the first name that springs to mind when considering recruitment, I would totally recommend.” source

Our developers versus usual outsourcing

Same idea on the surface. Different in the parts that cost you time.

If you need more than capacity

When the gap is leadership or delivery management rather than hands, these are the better fit.

Core Team for startups

A managed delivery unit that runs its own sprints, reviews and releases.

Core Team for enterprises

Ownership across in-house teams and other suppliers. Outside IR35, GDPR-compliant.

CTO-led recruitment

When the right answer is a permanent hire rather than a contract engineer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rates are hourly or daily and depend on the stack and the seniority you need. We quote the rate on the intro call, before you meet anyone, and there is no markup you cannot see. All rates exclude VAT.

Three months. Anything shorter and you spend most of the engagement on onboarding rather than output.

Frontend in React, Next.js, Angular and TypeScript. Backend in Node.js, NestJS, Python, Ruby on Rails, .NET Core, Go, Java and PHP. Mobile in React Native, Flutter, Swift and Kotlin. E-commerce and content on Shopify, Solidus, WooCommerce and WordPress. Plus data engineering, QA and test automation, and DevOps.

By our CTOs and senior developers, not by recruiters. Architecture and systems questions, a live coding exercise, a review of how they reason through problems they have not seen before, and a soft-skills and communication assessment.

The UK, Ukraine, Poland and Israel, plus the wider European market where a specific stack calls for it. We work to UK and European business hours.

Tell us early. We will look at whether it is a fit problem or a brief problem, and replace the engineer if replacing them is the right answer.

Take a developer when you already have someone technical setting direction and running delivery, and you need capacity in a specific stack. Take the Core Team when you want architecture, delivery management and quality control owned for you on a fixed monthly fee.
