DEDICATED TEAMS
A senior team that ships like .
Dedicated development teams and individual senior developers who embed with your process and backlog. Month-to-month, $50-$150 per hour per person, with European engineers overlapping your US working day.
WHAT WE DO
Our dedicated team services
- 01
Dedicated Product Teams
A full cross-functional team of engineers, a designer, and a PM as needed, dedicated to your product and working from your backlog.
- 02
Individual Senior Developers
A single senior engineer who joins your existing team, picks up tickets in week one, and raises the bar on code review.
- 03
Staff Augmentation
Fill specific gaps in your engineering org: a missing skill set, a temporary capacity crunch, or coverage for a key hire you have not made yet.
- 04
Month-to-Month Scaling
Add a developer when the roadmap grows, release one when it slows. No long lock-ins, no renegotiation cycle, just a monthly decision you control.
- 05
EU + US Time-Zone Coverage
European engineers overlap your US working day through 2 PM EST, and our US side covers through 6-7 PM EST, so questions get answered the same day.
- 06
Direct Team Access
You talk directly to the people writing your code: shared Slack, your standups, your tools. No account-manager layer between you and the work.

WHY US
Why choose Design Key for your dedicated team?
Senior-Only Teams
Every person on your team is a senior practitioner. No bait-and-switch where a senior scopes the work and juniors deliver it.
AI-Native Delivery
Our engineers work AI-assisted by default, shipping at a pace traditional teams cannot match while senior review keeps quality uncompromised.
Real Time-Zone Overlap
Headquartered in Tampa with senior delivery teams across Poland, Czechia, Portugal, and Ukraine. Your team is online during your working day, not just at handoff.
Month-to-Month Flexibility
Scale up when the roadmap demands it, scale down when it does not. Engagements renew monthly, so the team size always matches the work.
Transparent Rates
Straightforward pricing at $50-$150 per hour per person, set by role and seniority. You see exactly what each seat costs before anyone starts.
Embedded, Not Outsourced
Your team works inside your process: your repos, your CI, your standups, your definition of done. The knowledge they build stays connected to your org.
