What does it mean to hire dedicated developers?
Engineers who work on your projects, in your team, as if you had hired them yourself.
A dedicated development team is a group of engineers who work only on your product. They join your meetings, use your chat and your project tools, and commit code to your repositories. You lead the work. We take care of everything around it: the contracts, the equipment, the cover when someone is away, and the support of a wider team.
Every engineer we place is based in Romania, inside the European Union. They work under the same EU data protection rules as you, in a time zone close to the UK and the rest of Europe, and they speak English every working day.
Behind them stands the rest of Gradax: the people who run our cloud, look after security and keep production systems online. Your developers never work alone.
- Engineers who work only on your product

Not sure where to start? Tell us what you have, and we will tell you what it needs.
When you need developers, and hiring is not the answer.
Recruiting is slow, expensive and uncertain. Your roadmap does not wait for it.
Hiring is a big commitment
Salaries, contracts and notice periods for work you may need for a while, not forever.
The work keeps piling up
Your current team is stretched and the important projects are slipping.
Freelancers come and go
Each new face needs to learn your system, and leaves with what they learned.
Tell us who you are missing. We will propose the people.
Describe the work and the skills you need. We come back with a team proposal and a written offer.

Our infrastructure team behind your developers.
Developers are faster when the ground under them is solid. Ours come with the cloud and operations know-how of the whole company.
A team that only writes code still needs somewhere to run it: test environments, a live server, backups and monitoring. Setting that up is often what slows a new team down. Ours arrive with it.
Your developers can deploy to our cloud, in Europe or the United States, or to the one you already use. Either way, the releases run through automated checks, and the people who run the servers are a message away.
- Test and live environmentsSet up and kept healthy.
- Safe releasesAutomated checks before anything reaches customers.
- MonitoringProblems in the live system flagged to the right people.
- Your cloud or oursWe work with what you already have.
Teams that work with us often need these too.

Want the column on the right? It starts with one conversation.
Worried about something? Most owners are.
These are the questions owners ask us before they write. The answers are short.
Will I understand them?
Yes. They speak English and explain things in plain words.What if someone leaves?
We bring in the next person and hand over the work properly.I do not know what it will cost.
You get a written offer for the team before anyone starts.Who owns the code they write?
You do. Everything they build is yours, under contract.
Another worry? Ask us. A question costs nothing.
Ask it on a callHow much does it cost to hire dedicated developers?
It depends on the roles and the size of the team, so we send a written offer after the first call.
A single backend developer and a full team with a project manager are very different commitments. After a first call we propose the people and send a written offer with who works with you and what it costs each month.

Questions companies ask about hiring developers.

Web and backend developers, mobile developers, DevOps and security engineers, testers and project managers.
