Hire a dedicated React / Next.js team — not marketplace roulette
You need people who own a backlog, ship PRs, and show up on the same Zoom every week — not a revolving door of profiles.
Built for: For product companies that need capacity without building a full local team yet.
Works best when: You want named engineers, clear ownership, overlap hours, and a delivery rhythm that includes product context—not just ticket execution.
Pods with overlapping IST ↔ US hours and two-week delivery cadence
What changes when this lands
Named squad
PM + FE + BE (and design if needed) — faces you recognize, not seats.
Your repos, your CI
We plug into your GitHub, cloud, and review culture.
Overlap hours that work
Core collab windows across India and US time zones.
Capacity you can plan
Monthly hours + SLA, not surprise availability.
Roles named. Steps clear.
Needs brief
Stack, seniority mix, timezone, security.
Pod proposal
CVs + sample PRs + start date.
Trial sprint
Paid 2 weeks in your backlog.
Cadence lock
Standups, demo, retro rituals.
Scale / swap
Add roles or rotate with notice.
Knowledge stay
Docs and pairing so you’re never hostage.
One constrained engagement
Staff-aug for a US SaaS (NDA)
Internal FE bandwidth maxed; roadmap slipping.
Must pass SOC2 vendor review; overlap with PT mornings.
2 FE + 1 BE + shared PM; weekly demos on their Linear board.
- Cleared a blocked release train in the first month
- Kept the same pod for consecutive quarters
What you actually get
- →Dedicated pod roster
- →Shared Notion/Linear (or yours)
- →Weekly demo + written progress
- →Security onboarding per your checklist
