What is a dedicated development team?
A dedicated development team is a group of engineers assembled for one client and working only on that client's product. Unlike staff augmentation, where individuals join your team, a dedicated team runs its own day-to-day delivery under a delivery manager, while your product owner sets priorities.
DevKit builds each team around your scope and budget: the right mix of levels and skills, vetted by our senior engineers, with a delivery manager who keeps the work moving and reports progress to you.
Best for
- A complete team working on your product in 2–4 weeks
- Every skill the product needs in one team: engineers, delivery, design, DevOps and AI
- One monthly rate per team, sized to your scope and budget
- Growing delivery without hiring and managing a whole department
Why build your dedicated team with DevKit
A team that delivers like your own, without building one from scratch.
A complete team, not just developers
Software engineers and a delivery manager, plus UI/UX, DevOps or AI engineers when the work needs them.
Sized to your scope and budget
We design the team around the work: the right number of people and the right mix of levels, not a padded rate card.
Managed delivery
The delivery manager runs sprints, removes blockers and reports progress, so you can focus on product decisions.
Scale on your terms
Add or remove roles as priorities change, with no long-term lock-in.
Stable and focused
The team works only on your product, building knowledge that compounds over time.
Proven at scale
DevKit engineers have formed teams of 6 to 12 people for startups in booking, logistics, insurance, e-commerce and cybersecurity.

Staff augmentation vs. dedicated team vs. recruitment
Not sure which engagement model fits? Here is how they compare.
| Staff augmentation | Dedicated team | Tech recruitment | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Filling skill gaps or adding capacity fast | Building or running a product or workstream long term | Growing your permanent in-house team |
| Who manages the work | You, like any team member | A DevKit delivery manager, with your product owner | You, as your own employees |
| How we match | Per role, to the work and your budget | A team mix that fits your scope and budget | To your role, salary range and culture |
| Time to start | 2–3 weeks | 2–4 weeks | First candidates in 1–2 weeks |
| Pricing model | Monthly rate per engineer | Monthly rate per team | One-time fee per successful hire |
Matched to your budget: which level do you need?
We match the level to the work, so you don't pay senior rates for tasks a mid-level engineer handles well, or put critical work on the wrong hire.
Junior
Well-defined tasks with guidance
Bug fixes, tests and smaller features in an established codebase, with a senior on your team to review their work. The most budget-friendly option.
Mid-level
Independent feature work
Builds features end to end in an existing architecture with little supervision. The best value for most product teams.
Senior
Complex features and ownership
Owns complex parts of the system, makes sound technical decisions and mentors others. Worth it where mistakes are expensive.
Tech lead / Architect
Architecture and team leadership
Designs the system, sets standards and leads other engineers. Ideal for new products, rewrites or a team without technical leadership.

What clients usually ask before they start.
What is the difference between a dedicated team and staff augmentation?
With staff augmentation, individual engineers join your team and you manage them. A dedicated team is a complete, self-managed team with its own delivery manager that works on your product, while your product owner sets the priorities.
How big is a typical dedicated team?
Most teams have between 3 and 12 people. We size the team to your scope and budget, and you can add or remove roles as priorities change.
How much does a dedicated team cost?
A dedicated team is billed as a monthly rate per team, based on its size and the levels of the people in it. We design the team around your budget and share exact rates with the proposed team structure.
Who owns the code and intellectual property?
You do. All code and intellectual property the team creates is transferred to your company under your contract with DevKit Agency LLC (US) or DevKit Agency OÜ (EU), with an NDA as standard.
How do I stay in control of the product?
Your product owner sets priorities and accepts the work. The delivery manager runs the day-to-day process and keeps you informed with regular demos and progress reports.
