Frequently Asked Questions

1. Engagement Models & Delivery Framework

We primarily offer three flexible engagement models tailored to your operational needs:

  • Custom Software Development (Fixed-Price or T&M): Full-cycle end-to-end delivery of greenfield platforms, MVPs, or system refactoring.
  • Team Augmentation: Seamlessly scaling your in-house team with senior-led engineering, QA, and architecture talent.
  • Dedicated R&D Teams: Long-term, cross-functional engineering units operating as an integrated extension of your business.

Our standard minimum engagement period for Team Augmentation and Dedicated Teams is 2 months. For Custom Software Development or Discovery Phases, project timelines are defined based on technical scope and milestones.

For Team Augmentation, candidate profiles are delivered within a few business days, with engineers fully onboarded within 2 to 4 weeks. For full-cycle development projects, our initial Technical Discovery phase typically kicks off within 1 to 2 weeks.

We focus on enterprise and high-growth mid-market solutions. Our minimum engagement model typically assumes a workload equivalent to at least 1 dedicated specialist operating on a part-time/full-time basis or a 3-month project roadmap.

2. Engineering Quality, Vetting & Talent

We provide complete cross-functional engineering coverage, including Solutions Architects, DevOps/Cloud Engineers, QA & Test Automation Engineers, Data/AI Engineers, Business Analysts, Technical PMs, and UX/UI Designers.

Powered by our high QA standards and Testlum DNA, every engineer undergoes a rigorous 3-stage evaluation:

  1. Soft Skills & English Proficiency: Comprehensive evaluation of communication and culture fit.
  2. Deep Technical Assessment: Practical code reviews and system design challenges.
  3. Architectural & CTO Review: Final technical alignment with our Solutions Architects or CTO to ensure senior-level delivery standards.

We prioritize Senior-led delivery. Our mid-to-senior engineers bring 3+ to 7+ years of hands-on experience in complex enterprise environments, holding proven domain expertise across FinTech, HealthTech, EdTech, E-Commerce, and AI/ML pipelines.

For dedicated team engagements with 3+ members, we provide part-time Technical Project Management at no extra charge to drive agile processes, sprint planning, and delivery transparently. For full-cycle development, a dedicated PM/Delivery Lead manages the project from day one.

3. Operations, Tools & Integration

Our engineering hubs operate primarily across EET / CET time zones, ensuring seamless daily communication with European clients. For US-based clients, our teams adjust their working hours to provide a 3-to-5-hour daily overlap for live scrums and syncs.

Your augmented or dedicated team integrates directly into your existing infrastructure. We natively work with Jira, Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, GitLab, and Zoom, adhering strictly to your internal Scrum/Kanban ceremonies, coding standards, and deployment pipelines.

Yes. Fluent technical English is a non-negotiable hiring requirement. All engineers communicate fluently at Intermediate (B2) and Advanced (C1/C2) levels, enabling direct, unassisted daily collaboration with your technical leads and stakeholders.

Yes. Every client is paired with a Dedicated Customer Success Manager who oversees account health, team performance, contract flexibility, and seamless scaling as your product requirements evolve.
