Dedicated Engineers

Dedicated Engineers for
Applications That Keep Moving

Ongoing development capacity for an existing application or team — the engineers work in your codebase, follow your process and stay with the product while the work does.

Working Inside an Existing Codebase

Most requests for dedicated capacity concern an application that is already in production or well into active development. The constraint is rarely a shortage of general developers — it is that the application has framework-specific behaviour and business logic someone needs to understand before changing it.

Being useful quickly therefore depends on reading before writing: the current framework and dependency versions, the custom modules, the front-end implementation, the integrations, the database changes in flight, the conventions the team already follows and how a release actually gets made.

Dedicated engineers join that context rather than being handed a ticket and left with it. Work arrives through your board, gets reviewed the way your team reviews code, and is documented so that nothing depends on one person remembering how it fits together.

What Dedicated Capacity Usually Covers

Typical work for teams that need engineering time on a specific part of the application.

  • New feature development against the existing architecture
  • Framework and dependency upgrades
  • Module, service and API work
  • Front-end implementation and component refactoring
  • Business system and third-party integrations
  • Technical debt that is slowing the team down
  • Performance and query work on real screens
  • Code review and technical challenge
  • Production fixes and release support
  • Handover notes and architecture documentation

The mix changes quarter to quarter. What matters is that the same people keep the context, so the reasoning behind a change survives it.

When an Ongoing Arrangement Makes Sense

Long-running capacity suits work that is continuous by nature; a defined service suits work that has an end.

  • The roadmap outlives any single project
  • Framework upgrades and feature work compete for the same people
  • The team is strong on one side of the stack and thin on the other
  • An inherited application has no one who knows its history
  • Key knowledge sits with one person who cannot cover everything
  • Release work regularly spills into support time

How We Work Alongside Your Team

Capacity only helps if it fits the way the team already works. Before an engagement starts we agree the practical details: how work is planned and estimated, where code review happens, who owns environment access, how branches and releases are named and how progress is reported.

From there it is normal engineering work. Pull requests go through your review process, questions get asked while the person making the change can still act on them, and the running of the application stays in your hands. Where a decision affects architecture or security posture, it is raised rather than quietly taken.

For teams without an existing process, that structure can be set up as part of the work — but we would rather inherit your conventions than impose ours.

How the Capacity Is Scoped

Capacity is scoped to the work, not to a job title. A typical engagement names the area of the application, the outcomes expected over the next cycle and the level of seniority the work needs.

That is reviewed as the work changes. If the backlog needs less front-end attention next quarter and more integration work, the arrangement adjusts instead of continuing because it was agreed twice a year.

What We Do Not Promise

No bench of interchangeable resources, no named start date for a person you have not met, no guarantee that a role can be filled from a CV keyword.

What we can do is take responsibility for engineering work on applications we know well — ASP.NET Core, ASP.NET Zero, ABP.IO and Angular — and tell you honestly when a requirement sits outside that.

What to Tell Us

Enough context to judge the work, not a full briefing document.

None of this is essential to get in touch. It simply means the first reply can be more useful than a request for more information.

Useful to include

  • What the application is built on, including framework versions
  • How many developers you have and where the gap is
  • The work in front of you over the next quarter or two
  • Whether the arrangement is project-based or ongoing
  • How your team reviews and releases code today
