What is a dedicated developer?
A dedicated developer works full-time on your product only, as a long-term member of your team. You direct their day-to-day work; Codebeck handles their employment, equipment and administration.
How is this different from a contract developer?
A contract developer is typically engaged for a defined period or number of hours. A dedicated developer is a longer-term, full-time commitment, usually on a rolling monthly basis.
Can we start with one developer and add more later?
Yes. Many dedicated teams start with a single engineer. When you add more people, we can also provide a technical lead to coordinate the team.
How do we communicate with the team?
Directly. Developers join your Slack or Microsoft Teams, your ticketing system and your meetings. Working-hour overlap with your time zone is agreed before the engagement starts.
What if a developer is not the right fit?
Tell us early. Replacement and notice terms are set out in the contract, and we will work with you on a transition plan that protects continuity.
