Dedicated developers

Hire dedicated developers, embedded month-to-month.

One named engineer, or a few, working your hours and your board. Ramp measured in days, velocity measured in your sprint numbers, and a notice period stated up front.

The brief, honestly

A named engineer in your standups, not a vendor queue.

An embedded engineer is a different purchase from a project. You are not buying a deliverable, you are buying a seat on your own team that somebody else recruits, pays and replaces. What you keep is the sprint board, the review standard and the roadmap.

So the work happens inside your rituals. Our engineer joins your standups, picks tickets from your sprint board, opens pull requests your lead reviews, and answers to your definition of done. Onboarding is a written first-week plan, not a hopeful introduction on Monday.

Everything commercial stays month-to-month. Ramp time, sprint velocity and the notice period are all on the table before you sign. A retainer you can't exit isn't a retainer — it's a lock-in with a friendlier name, and we'd rather you renewed because the velocity held.

Problem 01

We need senior hands now, and hiring takes months.

One named engineer with a written first-week ramp plan. Reading your codebase on day one, picking tickets by the end of week one.

Problem 02

The last contractor never learned our codebase.

Embedded means embedded. The same engineer across sprints, in your standups and your reviews, accumulating the context a rotating bench throws away every month.

Problem 03

We can't sign a twelve-month contract for this.

Month-to-month, with the notice period agreed before the first invoice. Scale the seat up, down or off without renegotiating the whole engagement.

Problem 04

Our timezone barely overlaps with India.

We're in Vadodara on IST and work async by default. Standups, handovers and review windows get set to your calendar, and we write things down so a gap never costs a day.

What's included

Scope, spelled out.

A named senior engineer

Not a pool, not a ticket queue. The same person across sprints, whose name your lead learns in week one.

First-week ramp plan

Repo access, local setup, a first small ticket and a codebase read-in written down, so week two ships real work.

Inside your rituals

Your standups, your sprint board, your ticket tracker and your review process. We adopt them rather than proposing ours.

Sprint velocity you can see

Velocity measured on your board, not in a status email. Monthly review of what landed against what the roadmap needed.

IST overlap that suits you

Working hours shifted toward your calendar, plus written handovers, so async gaps move work forward instead of parking it.

The stacks we staff

Laravel and PHP, Node, React, Angular and TypeScript, plus WordPress, Shopify and HubSpot when the seat needs platform depth.

Month-to-month terms

Scale the seat up, down or off. Notice period agreed in writing before the first invoice, with no bench you subsidise.

How we work

What actually happens, week by week.

01

Role profile

We write the seat down: stack, seniority, the tickets it owns and what good looks like by month one.

02

Match

You interview and pick the engineer. Month-to-month from the first invoice, so fit is proven before anyone is locked in.

03

Ramp week

Access, environment, a codebase read-in and a first small ticket. Written plan, so the ramp is checkable.

04

Into the board

Standups, sprint tickets and pull requests in your process. From here the engineer is yours to direct.

05

Velocity review

Monthly: what shipped, what slipped, whether the seat still fits. Renew, resize or give notice.

Tech stack

The tools we actually use here.

We staff seats in what we've actually shipped. Tell us the stack and we'll say plainly whether we have senior depth in it or only working familiarity.

Who you're actually hiring

Keyntech is run by senior engineers in Vadodara, and founder Ankur Patel holds Top Rated Plus standing on Upwork — a public record of long client engagements rather than a badge we bought. You interview the person who'd take the seat. Not an account manager.

How embedding runs in practice

Fast onboarding is a mechanism, not a slogan: repo access and a codebase read-in first, a small ticket by the end of week one, your standups and sprint board from week two. We don't run a bench, so nobody sits on your invoice waiting for scope.

Frequently asked

Questions we get on the first call.

There isn't a published monthly figure, and any agency quoting one hasn't asked what the seat does yet. Price tracks seniority, stack and how much of your process the engineer has to absorb. What's fixed is what you're buying: one senior engineer, their time, senior review behind them, no recruiter fee, no bench. Tell us the seat and the budget, and we'll say if they meet.

We won't quote a fixed number of hours, because the honest answer depends on your timezone and your rituals. The mechanism is this: we're on IST in Vadodara, we shift the working day toward your calendar, and we run async by default. Standups and review windows get pinned to your clock. Written handovers cover the rest.

Whatever we agree in writing before the first invoice, and it's symmetrical. We won't state a length here, because a number on a web page isn't the contract you'd actually sign. Ask on the call, get it in the terms, and expect the same window to apply to us.

You tell us, and we swap or stop. The engagement is month-to-month for exactly that reason, and it's why the ramp plan is written down — week two has something checkable in it rather than a feeling. Raise it early and we'll say plainly whether it's the person, the role profile, or the brief.

You choose. We write the role profile, shortlist from who's genuinely free, and put them in front of your lead for a technical conversation. Assigning whoever is idle is how a mismatch gets defended instead of fixed. Say no to all of them and we'll go again.

Add a senior engineer, not a hiring cycle.

Thirty minutes with the senior who'd take the seat. Bring the stack, the tickets, and the sprint you want them in by.
