How is a Miracuves dedicated team different from traditional offshore outsourcing?
Traditional outsourcing hands you a black-box team with separate process, tooling, and accountability gaps. A Miracuves dedicated squad embeds in your repositories, ceremonies, and communication channels — engineers, QA, and a delivery lead working as an extension of your org. Miracuves remains accountable for vetting, replacement, and continuity; you set priorities and own the roadmap.
How quickly can a full squad be standing up and taking tickets from our backlog?
Most squads are live within 72 hours of signing once access and role mix are confirmed. Complex security clearance, uncommon stack combinations, or multi-region overlap requirements may extend to one week — stated upfront, not discovered after kickoff. Week one typically includes codebase audit, definition-of-done alignment, and first demo by Friday.
Can we start with one engineer and grow into a multi-role squad without re-contracting?
Yes. Many engagements begin with a single dedicated engineer and expand with QA, mobile, or DevOps capacity within the same Miracuves framework. Structure and pricing for added roles are confirmed in writing before new members start — no six-month SI renegotiation to add one tester. Miracuves confirms structure, rate, timezone overlap, and IP assignment in your engagement letter before start — not verbal promises after you have paused the roadmap.
Who manages the squad day to day — Miracuves or our engineering leadership?
Your engineering leadership sets priorities, accepts deliverables, and runs reviews. Miracuves handles recruiting, vetting, payroll, replacement guarantee, and delivery accountability — not a detached account manager filtering every conversation. The squad reports into your org chart operationally. Miracuves confirms structure, rate, timezone overlap, and IP assignment in your engagement letter before start — not verbal promises after you have paused the roadmap.
What happens if a squad member is underperforming or not culturally aligned?
Any squad member is covered by the 2-week replacement guarantee at no additional cost. Miracuves sources a replacement and manages knowledge transfer so sprint momentum does not collapse. Month-to-month terms apply thereafter with two weeks' notice per role. Miracuves confirms structure, rate, timezone overlap, and IP assignment in your engagement letter before start — not verbal promises after you have paused the roadmap.
How do you handle timezone overlap across a multi-person squad?
Each engineer includes a minimum four-hour live overlap window, confirmed before engagement. Squad ceremonies are scheduled inside that overlap where possible, with async written updates covering the rest. Distributed squads receive explicit handoff rituals so work does not stall between regions. Miracuves confirms structure, rate, timezone overlap, and IP assignment in your engagement letter before start — not verbal promises after you have paused the roadmap.
Who owns code, IP, and infrastructure credentials?
You retain all intellectual property. IP assignment is signed before work begins; commits go directly to your repositories; credentials remain under your governance. Miracuves does not host your product on vendor infrastructure you cannot migrate away from. Miracuves confirms structure, rate, timezone overlap, and IP assignment in your engagement letter before start — not verbal promises after you have paused the roadmap.
Is there a minimum engagement length or long-term lock-in?
No annual lock-in. Engagements are month-to-month with two weeks' notice. Most clients keep squads embedded far longer because velocity compounds — but the commercial terms are designed for teams that need flexibility, not captivity. Miracuves confirms structure, rate, timezone overlap, and IP assignment in your engagement letter before start — not verbal promises after you have paused the roadmap.
