Dedicated developers, embedded in your team — not an agency queue.
You get named engineers who work only on your product, attend your standups, and report to your leads. Sprint Labs handles the contractor engagement: contracts, fees, payments and support; the work and the direction are yours.
What is dedicated developers through Sprint Labs?
A dedicated developer through Sprint Labs costs a flat monthly seat price in your own currency, with no recruitment fee, no entity and no cross-border payments to individuals. You interview and choose the person, direct their work daily, and can scale from one engineer to a pod without renegotiating a contract.
- Product teams that need more engineering capacity, not a delivery vendor
- Companies with an in-house tech lead who can direct the work
- Teams replacing unreliable freelancers with vetted, long-tenure contractors
- Businesses that want cost relief without giving up code ownership
Included in every engagement.
A named engineer, exclusively yours
No pooling, no shared allocation, no account manager between you and the work. The engineer sits in your Slack, your Jira and your repos.
You run the interview
Sprint Labs vets and shortlists. You interview and decide. We never place someone you haven't approved.
Managed contractors, not marketplaces
Every placement is an independent contractor engaged by Sprint Labs under a contractor agreement, with contracts, payment and support handled by us. That's why tenure can run in years, and why the person still knows your codebase next year.
One monthly invoice
Flat seat cost in your billing currency, with the FX rate fixed at quote. Bonuses and commissions can be added as line items and we handle the local disbursement.
IP assignment that actually flows through
Confidentiality and IP-assignment clauses sit in the contractor agreement and carry to you through the MSA and Work Order.
Replacement cover
If the fit is wrong, we re-run the search at no additional recruitment cost and manage the handover.
How it works.
- 01Brief the role
Skills, seniority, timezone, budget. A job description — not a project scope.
- 02Shortlist in days
Named, vetted candidates with voice recordings, prior work and references.
- 03You interview
Run your own process. We handle scheduling, offer and contracting.
- 04Onboard and bill
Contracts, payments and engagement support handled. One monthly seat cost begins.
Embedded in your workflow, not sitting on the sidelines.
Your dedicated developers work in your tools, your rituals and your timezone overlap — the same standups, boards and reviews as the rest of your team.
We handle contracts, payments and retention.
Contracts, contractor fees, payments and any client-required managed device are ours to coordinate. You direct the work and we keep the people supported, paid on time and staying long term.
What this isn't
This isn't project outsourcing. We don't take delivery accountability, run your sprints or own your roadmap. If you need a team that owns an outcome end to end, look at Project Delivery Squads instead.

Questions about dedicated offshore developers.
What does a dedicated offshore developer cost?
Sprint Labs bills a single flat monthly seat cost that covers the contractor's fee, recruitment and vetting, contracts, payments and FX, management support and replacement, with a managed device only where you need one. Mid-level engineers typically land between USD 2,000 and 3,600 per month depending on market and specialism; senior engineers between USD 3,200 and 5,600. There is no separate recruitment or placement fee.
Do I manage the developer directly?
Yes. Day-to-day direction, priorities, code review and performance feedback all come from you, exactly as with an in-house hire. Sprint Labs handles the contractor engagement behind the scenes: contracts, fees and payments, time off, performance concerns, replacement and offboarding.
How quickly can someone start?
Shortlists typically land within 5–10 business days of a clear brief. Brief-to-start is usually three to five weeks, driven mostly by the candidate's notice period.
What's the minimum commitment?
Engagements are ongoing with a 60-day cancellation notice. That protects the contractor, who has committed availability to your team, and gives you a clean handover window if priorities change.
