    **What This Engagement Delivers**
    
## What a dedicated development team does inside your org

    
A Miracuves dedicated team is a cross-functional squad - engineers, QA, and a delivery lead - embedded directly in your product workflow. They attend your ceremonies, commit to your repos, and report progress against your roadmap. Miracuves matches for production delivery inside your toolchain - repositories, ceremonies, and review standards - not parallel vendor silos that require chase-down for every update. You keep product ownership; we supply vetted capacity that commits under your definition of done.

    
This is not outsourced project delivery where you hand off a brief and wait. Your squad operates as an extension of your engineering org, with Miracuves accountable for quality, continuity, and replacement if the fit is not right. Miracuves staff augmentation is not the right fit when you need a single logo on a slide deck with no repository access, when compliance requires employees on your payroll only, or when the role is purely executive coaching without hands-on delivery. In those cases we say so upfront and can recommend a full build engagement via our [software development](https://miracuves.com/service/software-development/) or [clone solutions](https://miracuves.com/solutions/) catalog instead. Compare sibling hire models and full-build options in the related section below.

From a recent engagement - replacing a stalled offshore vendor

      
"Our previous vendor missed three consecutive sprints. Miracuves stood up a four-person squad in five days. They inherited our backlog, shipped the release blocker in week two, and we kept the squad for nine months."

  **What's Included**
## Every engagement includes this - no add-on tiers

  
    01
### Direct Team Integration

Embedded in your repos, ceremonies, and tools from day one - not a separate vendor silo you chase for updates.

    02
### Weekly Demo & Sprint Review

Every Friday, working output demonstrated live - not a written status update. You see exactly what shipped.

    03
### NDA + IP Assignment Day One

Bilateral NDA and IP assignment signed before any detail is discussed. All work product belongs to you.

    04
### Async-First Communication

Daily written updates via Slack regardless of timezone, plus live sync during your guaranteed overlap window.

    05
### Delivery Accountability

Miracuves remains accountable for quality and continuity - not a marketplace where you manage the relationship alone.

    06
### 2-Week Replacement Guarantee

If any squad member isn't the right fit within the first 2 weeks, Miracuves replaces at no additional cost.

  

  **Honest Comparison**
  
## Miracuves vs Toptal, Turing, and Upwork - an honest comparison

Marketplaces optimise for transaction volume. Miracuves optimises for embedded delivery accountability - published rates, vetting you can verify, and a replacement guarantee if the match fails. Use this table when stakeholders ask why not Toptal, Turing, or Upwork - we answer plainly because the wrong engagement model wastes quarters. Procurement teams use it to compare IP ownership, overlap hours, and who remains accountable when delivery slips - not just hourly rate on a spreadsheet.

  
    
| Factor | Miracuves | Toptal-class | Turing-class | Upwork / direct |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vetting depth | 98% rejection + paid trial sprint | Top 3% claim | AI-matched pool | You screen alone |
| Who owns delivery | Miracuves accountable | Marketplace escrow | Platform SLA varies | Your HR + eng |
| Pricing transparency | Published monthly rates | Quote after brief | Quote after brief | Salary + benefits |
| IP & code ownership | 100% yours, your repos | Typically yours | Typically yours | Employee |
| Replacement guarantee | 2 weeks, no extra cost | Limited window | Varies by plan | Re-hire cycle |
| Timezone overlap | 4+ hrs confirmed in writing | Often optional | Often optional | Local only |
| Best for | Embedded product delivery | One-off expert tasks | Scale fast, less vetting | Long-term core team |

  
  **How to choose:** Marketplaces excel at one-off expert tasks. Miracuves fits when you need embedded accountability - someone in your repo, your sprint, your timezone - with replacement if the match fails. For full product builds without staffing, see our [90+ solutions](https://miracuves.com/solutions/) and [vertical pages](https://miracuves.com/service/on-demand-app-development/).

  **Market Context**
## Why companies choose dedicated development squads

Multi-role delivery - backend, mobile, QA, design - needs coordination, not a pile of individual freelancers. Dedicated squads give you one accountable partner and a team that already knows your codebase cadence. Use these benchmarks when writing your internal role spec - salary bands, trial scope, and toolchain expectations - so Miracuves can match profiles that fit your governance.

  **Team Structures**
## Four ways to structure your dedicated team

Start lean and scale, or bring a full squad from day one. Miracuves documents which practitioners join your squad, overlap hours, escalation path, and replacement SLA in the engagement letter - whether you embed individuals, a multi-role pod, or fractional leadership alongside delivery.

Best for: **Roadmap with shifting priorities**

  

  
    **Onboarding**
    
## From signed NDA to first squad sprint

    
Most clients have a matched squad in your tools within 72 hours of agreement - roles, overlap, and delivery lead named in writing before kickoff. Miracuves confirms practitioner names, overlap hours, rate structure, and replacement SLA in your engagement letter before anyone receives tool access - not verbal promises after you have paused the roadmap waiting on paperwork.

    
      01
Day 0 - Brief & NDA

You share stack, timezone, sprint cadence, and access expectations. Miracuves signs bilateral NDA before technical details. Matching criteria documented in writing - role seniority, compliance needs, and overlap hours - not a vague 'send resumes' request. If the role requires clearance or niche certifications, Miracuves states timeline impact upfront.

      02
Day 1-2 - Shortlist & Interview

You receive one to three profiles that already passed vetting and a paid trial exercise. You run your technical interview; Miracuves does not block direct engineer access. Profiles include verifiable project history and stack tags - not keyword-stuffed CVs. Rate and structure confirmed in writing before the engineer touches your repository.

      03
Day 2-3 - Onboarding

Engineer added to your GitHub, Slack, Jira or Linear, and CI/CD. Branch strategy, review rules, and first sprint goal agreed in a 60-minute kickoff - not a week of vendor orientation. Miracuves engineers use your conventions: PR template, lint rules, and release branches from day one.

      04
Week 1 - First Demo

Working commits and a Friday demo of shippable output. Async updates daily inside your overlap window. Miracuves stays accountable if ramp is slower than agreed - replacement SLA applies. You evaluate fit on real code review quality, not a take-home that never ships to your main branch.

      05
Ongoing - Scale or Exit

Add QA, design, or backend capacity under the same engagement letter. Month-to-month terms with two weeks' notice - no annual lock-in unless you request rate stability. When staffing is no longer the right model, Miracuves can transition you to a full product build via our technology and vertical pages without changing NDA counterparty.

    
  
  
    
      **First 72 Hours**
      
### What happens after you say yes

      
        01
#### Squad brief & NDA

Roles, overlap hours, escalation path, and delivery cadence documented in writing before anyone is assigned to your tools or repositories.

        02
#### Matched squad intro

Named practitioners with stack tags and a delivery lead - not anonymous resumes from a marketplace pool you cannot interview directly.

        03
#### Embedded in your workflow

Repos, ceremonies, and CI connected; first sprint goal and definition-of-done agreed before end of day three - not a vendor orientation week.

      
    
  

  **Full Catalog**
## Build with Miracuves - staffing or full product delivery

Not sure staffing is the right model? Miracuves also ships complete products from 90+ clone bases and custom builds - same company, same NDA, same IP ownership. Many clients start with a dedicated practitioner, then expand into a squad or switch to a vertical clone deployment when scope clarifies. Every hire page links to published technology stacks, vertical clone deployments, and sibling engagement models so stakeholders compare staffing versus turnkey product delivery under one NDA counterparty.

    **Client Reference**
    
## What a dedicated team engagement looks like in practice

    
A logistics SaaS company needed to replace a failing offshore team mid-release - three sprints behind, no documentation, and an enterprise pilot demo in four weeks.

    
      01
Challenge

Inherited codebase with no test coverage, missing sprint history, and a hard external deadline for the pilot customer.

      02
What Miracuves Delivered

Four-person squad matched in 72 hours, codebase audit in three days, release blocker cleared in sprint one.

      03
Outcome

Pilot demo shipped on schedule. Squad remained embedded for eleven months and now owns the product roadmap.

Client Testimonial

We were three sprints behind with no path forward. Miracuves stood up a squad in under a week, inherited our mess, and had us demo-ready before our enterprise pilot. Eleven months later they are still our engineering team.

  **Frequently Asked**
## Questions about dedicated teams from Miracuves

  
    
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.
