Services
A dedicated team is a standing pod of engineers who work inside your product, your backlog and your ceremonies, rather than delivering a fixed-scope project and moving on. You keep control of priorities; we keep the pod staffed, technically led and productive for as long as the engagement runs.
The commercial and practical detail — who owns the code, how the pod joins your tooling, what happens at the end of the contract — is agreed before anyone starts, not worked out during onboarding.
When you need this
What we build
Our approach
A typical pod is a tech lead, engineers in the mix of skills your stack requires, a dedicated QA engineer, a part-time architect for cross-cutting decisions, and a delivery manager who owns staffing and reporting. Smaller engagements drop roles; larger ones add a second sub-team under the same tech lead rather than duplicating leadership.
We shortlist candidates against your stated requirements and CVs plus a technical screen. You interview and sign off every engineer before they join the pod, and the same process applies to replacements, so the team you approved is the team that works on your product.
Contracting and onboarding typically run 1 to 2 weeks once candidates are approved; access provisioning and codebase familiarisation take a further 1 to 2 weeks; the pod reaches its expected velocity by week 6 to 8, tracked against a ramp-up curve agreed at kickoff rather than assumed.
The pod works inside your existing sprint cadence, backlog tool and communication channels rather than running a separate process that someone then has to reconcile with yours. Code lives in your repositories under your organisation from the first commit.
The master services agreement assigns IP in all deliverables to you on payment. Engagements typically run on a rolling monthly basis with a minimum term and a defined notice period, so both sides can plan staffing without an indefinite open-ended commitment.
The exit plan — documentation standards, a handover overlap window, and a walkthrough of architecture decisions and open technical debt — is part of the contract from day one, not something drafted after notice is given. Because the pod has always worked in your repositories, there is no separate code migration step at the end.

Applied by industry
A pod embedded alongside an in-house clinical systems team, working to their backlog on patient portal and integration features under NHS DSPT-aligned data handling terms.
Additional engineering capacity for a settlement and billing platform team during a peak regulatory change window, without a permanent headcount increase.
A pod covering a skills gap in mobile development for a multi-site operator's own product team, working inside their existing sprint cycle.
Sustained capacity for a portal and CRM integration backlog that outpaced an in-house team of two, with a QA engineer added to catch listing synchronisation regressions.
A pod extending an in-house team's capacity for document automation and client portal work during a firm-wide systems migration.
Typical engagement
Questions
A project engagement is scoped, priced and delivered against a fixed set of outcomes. A dedicated team is a standing pod that becomes part of your backlog and your ceremonies, working on whatever you prioritise, for as long as the contract runs. You manage the roadmap; we manage staffing, cover and technical leadership within the pod.
You do. The master services agreement assigns IP in all work product to you on payment, and the pod works in your source control, under your organisation, from day one. Nothing sits in a Zorix-owned repository that then needs migrating at the end of the engagement.
The contract sets a notice period and a knowledge transfer plan: documentation handover, a defined overlap window with any incoming team, and a walkthrough of architecture decisions and open issues. Because the pod has worked in your repositories and tooling throughout, there is no separate migration step for code or infrastructure.
Yes. We shortlist candidates against your stated requirements and you interview and approve each addition to the pod before they start. Replacement due to attrition follows the same process, with a handover period from the outgoing engineer where notice allows.
No — the pod joins your ceremonies: your sprint planning, your standups, your retrospectives, in your time zone overlap window. They work in your Jira, Azure DevOps or Linear instance, your Slack or Teams, and your CI/CD pipelines, rather than maintaining a parallel process that needs reconciling with yours.
