We partner with startups and product companies to design, build, and scale software platforms — from MVP development to large-scale product infrastructure.

Our teams integrate directly with your product organization to deliver features, architecture, and platform scalability. Not contractors executing tickets — a genuine extension of your company.

The Problem

A fintech startup had a validated product spec and six months of runway — but no engineering team and no time to hire one.

What We Built

We assembled a six-person dedicated team within two weeks, took ownership of architecture and delivery, and shipped the full platform to production in five months.

The Impact

2,000+ users onboarded in the first 90 days post-launch. Series A raised. Engineering team still on retainer.

Process

How we work

A clear, structured process — you always know what happens next.

01

Discovery & Scoping

Review codebase, understand the roadmap, and define a realistic engagement scope.

02

Team Onboarding

Engineers onboarded to your systems and tools within the first week. First sprint starts in 5 days.

03

Sprint Cadence

Two-week sprints. Planning Monday, demo Friday. Real software every two weeks.

04

Review & Iteration

After each sprint, review metrics and reprioritise the roadmap as the product evolves.

05

Knowledge Transfer

All documentation, architecture decisions, and runbooks maintained throughout — not compiled at the end.

FAQ

Common questions

How quickly can a team start?

Fully onboarded and delivering within 2–3 weeks. First sprint typically starts within 5 business days of signing.

What size team is typical?

Most engagements start with 3–5 engineers: a lead, 2–3 mid-to-senior developers, and a QA engineer.

Who owns the IP?

You do, entirely. All code, architecture, and documentation is your property — guaranteed in every contract.

Can you join an existing codebase?

Yes. We've joined projects at every stage. We always do a codebase audit before quoting.
FAQ

SaaS Product Engineering — common questions

What's the difference between a dedicated team and a project-based engagement?

Project-based works for fixed-scope deliverables with a clear endpoint — build this MVP, ship this feature. A dedicated team works for product companies that need ongoing product engineering capacity but aren't ready to hire. Most product companies eventually want a dedicated team because product work is continuous, not finite.

How fast can you spin up a team?

We can typically have a 3 to 5 engineer team — including a tech lead, product designer if needed, and engineers across frontend, backend, mobile — in 2 to 4 weeks from contract signing. Faster if you need a smaller team. We don't rush ramp-up; we want the right engineers, not just available ones.

Where are your engineers located?

Our delivery teams are based primarily in Chicago (USA), Irvine (California), and our HQ in New Delhi (India). Most clients work with a hybrid team across time zones for follow-the-sun coverage. All engineers are full-time Zansys employees, not freelancers or staffing agency placements.

How do you manage handoffs and knowledge retention?

Engineers stay on a single client's product for the duration of the engagement — typically 12 to 36 months. We don't rotate people between clients. When someone does roll off, we run a 2 to 4 week paired handoff. All architecture decisions, code review patterns, and runbooks are documented in your repository, not ours.

What does a dedicated engineering team cost?

A 3 to 5 engineer team with a tech lead typically runs US$30,000 to US$60,000 per month all-in (engineers, lead, design, project management). Specific rate depends on team mix, seniority, and location. We bill monthly, no minimum term beyond an initial 3 to 6 months for ramp-up amortisation.

Will you scale the team up or down as our needs change?

Yes. Most product engagements start at 3 to 4 engineers and grow to 8 to 12 over 12 to 18 months as the product matures. We can also scale down — common during a feature freeze or if a roadmap shifts. We give you 30 days notice on team changes either direction.
