Engagement models

Three ways to work with us

Most clients start with one engineer and grow into a dedicated team. Pick the model that matches how settled your roadmap actually is.

Most popular

Dedicated Team

Your own squad, ours to staff and run

A ring-fenced team that works only on your roadmap, with a tech lead accountable for delivery. You set priorities; we handle hiring, cover, performance and continuity.

Suits you if

  • A roadmap with 6+ months of work already visible
  • Founders without an in-house engineering manager
  • Products that need architectural ownership, not just extra hands
  • Teams replacing an agency that shipped and disappeared
Billing
Flat monthly fee per engineer. No hourly timesheets, no billed overtime, no surprise change orders.
Typical team size
3-8 engineers plus a tech lead and part-time QA
Commitment
3 months, then rolling with 30 days' notice

Staff Augmentation

Named engineers inside your existing team

Individual senior engineers who join your standups, your board and your codebase. They report to your leads and follow your process — we stay out of the way and handle the employment side.

Suits you if

  • You already have an engineering manager or tech lead
  • A specific skills gap (mobile, AI/ML, DevOps) blocking a release
  • Burning down a backlog without opening headcount
  • Covering parental leave or a sudden departure
Billing
Monthly rate per engineer, billed on a full-time or half-time allocation. Swap or scale with 30 days' notice.
Typical team size
1-4 engineers embedded in your team
Commitment
1 month, then rolling with 30 days' notice

Fixed-Scope Project

Defined outcome, agreed price, dated milestones

We scope the work, price it, and carry the delivery risk. Best when the requirements are genuinely settled — if the scope is still moving, a dedicated team will cost you less than a chain of change requests.

Suits you if

  • A well-defined MVP, integration or migration
  • Budget that must be approved as a single number up front
  • Rebuilds where the target behaviour already exists
  • Work with a hard external deadline (audit, launch, contract)
Billing
Fixed price against a signed scope, invoiced on milestones. Changes go through a written change request with its own price and date.
Typical team size
2-6 engineers, sized to the milestone plan
Commitment
Runs to the final milestone, typically 6-16 weeks

Roles

Who you can hire

Every engineer has shipped and supported production systems. If you are not sure which roles you need, tell us the problem and we will propose a team shape.

Frontend Engineers

The people who build everything your customer actually sees and clicks. They turn designs into fast, accessible interfaces that hold up on a mid-range Android phone, not just a developer's laptop.

Typically builds

  • Customer portals and dashboards
  • Design-system and component libraries
  • Core Web Vitals and accessibility remediation
ReactNext.jsTypeScriptTailwind CSSViteTesting Library

Backend Engineers

The engine room: the APIs, business rules and data flows behind your product. They make sure the numbers reconcile, the integrations retry properly, and the system stays fast as your table counts grow.

Typically builds

  • REST and GraphQL APIs with versioning
  • Third-party integrations and webhook handling
  • Background jobs, queues and scheduled work
Node.jsNestJSExpress.jsPythonFastAPILaravelPostgreSQL

Full-Stack Engineers

Generalists who can carry a feature from database column to button. Most useful on small teams where handing work between specialists costs more time than it saves.

Typically builds

  • MVPs where one engineer owns whole features
  • Internal tools and admin panels
  • Feature delivery on lean product teams
Next.jsTypeScriptNode.jsPostgreSQLPrismaRedis

Mobile Engineers

iOS and Android specialists. They handle the parts that make mobile hard — offline behaviour, push notifications, app store review, and devices that lose signal mid-transaction.

Typically builds

  • Cross-platform customer apps
  • Field-operations apps with offline sync
  • App Store and Play Store release management
React NativeExpoSwiftKotlinFirebasePush notifications

AI / ML Engineers

Engineers who ship AI into real workflows rather than demos. They know when a retrieval system beats a fine-tune, and how to evaluate output quality before it reaches a customer.

Typically builds

  • RAG assistants over internal knowledge bases
  • Document intelligence and OCR extraction
  • Evaluation harnesses and output quality monitoring
OpenAI APIsRAGVector databasesPythonPyTorchOCR pipelinesEmbeddings

DevOps / SRE Engineers

The reason deploys stop being scary. They automate releases, make infrastructure reproducible, and put monitoring in place so you hear about problems from a dashboard instead of a customer.

Typically builds

  • CI/CD pipelines with rollback paths
  • Infrastructure as code and environment parity
  • Monitoring, alerting and on-call runbooks
AWSGCPAzureDockerKubernetesTerraformGitHub Actions

QA Engineers

The people who find it before your customers do. They build automated regression suites so the same bug does not ship twice, and test the messy edge cases nobody wrote a ticket for.

Typically builds

  • Automated end-to-end regression suites
  • Release certification and smoke testing
  • Load and performance testing before launch
CypressPlaywrightJestVitestJMeterManual test plans

Data Engineers

They make your data trustworthy enough to make decisions on. Pipelines, warehouse models and reporting layers that give everyone the same number for the same question.

Typically builds

  • ETL pipelines and warehouse modelling
  • Operational reporting and BI dashboards
  • Data migrations and cleanup

How it works

From first call to shipping code in two weeks

No recruiter black box. You see real profiles, you run the interview, and you decide.

  1. 1

    Share your requirements

    Day 0 — 45-minute call

    We talk through the product, the stack, the gaps in your team and the timeline you are working to. If we are not the right fit, we say so on this call rather than three weeks in.

    You get: A written role brief and a recommended engagement model

  2. 2

    Get a shortlist

    Within ~72 hours

    You receive 2-3 matched profiles with real CVs, the projects they have shipped, timezone overlap and rate. No stock photos, no bait-and-switch — the engineer in the profile is the engineer who joins.

    You get: Candidate profiles with code samples or project detail

  3. 3

    Interview them yourself

    Days 3-7

    Run your own technical interview, live coding, system design — whatever your bar is. You approve every engineer before they join. We never assign someone you have not met.

    You get: Your own go/no-go decision on each engineer

  4. 4

    Run a paid trial sprint

    First 2 weeks

    The engineer joins your board and ships real tickets. If the fit is wrong at the end of the sprint, you stop there and owe nothing beyond the two weeks — no notice period, no termination fee.

    You get: Merged production work and a fit decision with no lock-in

  5. 5

    Scale the team

    Ongoing

    Add or reduce engineers with 30 days' notice as the roadmap changes. Adding to an existing engagement skips the shortlist queue — new joiners are usually productive within a week because the team already carries the context.

    You get: A team that flexes with your roadmap instead of your hiring cycle

Why SakhiSoft

The terms we put in writing

Every claim below is a contract term, not a sales line. Ask us to show you the clause.

Seniors, not padded juniors

Every engineer we put forward has shipped and supported production systems. We do not bill a junior at a senior rate and hope you never look at the commits.

Real timezone overlap

Our teams work a minimum of 4 hours' overlap with your working day — from Lahore (UTC+5) or Canada (UTC-8), whichever fits your calendar. Standups happen live, not by voice note.

No lock-in

Rolling monthly terms after the initial period, cancellable with 30 days' notice. We keep the engagement because it works, not because the contract traps you.

You own the IP

Code, repositories, infrastructure and documentation are yours from the first commit. We work in your accounts wherever possible, so there is nothing to hand back.

14-day replacement guarantee

If an engineer is not working out, tell us and we start a replacement search the same day, with a vetted engineer in place within 14 days. Handover and ramp-up are on us, not on your invoice.

Delivery you can audit

Written weekly status, a visible board, and demos on a fixed cadence. You should never have to ask what happened last week.

Comparison

SakhiSoft vs freelancers vs an in-house hire

An honest read. In-house wins on long-term continuity when you can afford the wait and the overhead — our advantage is speed, flexibility and carrying the hiring risk for you.

Comparison of hiring through SakhiSoft, hiring freelancers, and hiring in-house across cost, time to hire, vetting, scaling, continuity and IP ownership.

FAQs

Questions we get before every engagement

If yours is not here, ask us directly — we answer within one business day.

How quickly can an engineer start?

You will normally have a shortlist within 72 hours of the requirements call. Most engineers start within one to two weeks of your interview, depending on their notice on a current engagement.

Do we interview the engineers ourselves?

Yes, and we insist on it. You run your own technical interview and approve every engineer before they join. The person in the profile is the person who joins the team — we never substitute someone after the interview.

What if an engineer is not the right fit?

During the two-week trial sprint you can stop with no notice period and no termination fee. After that, tell us and we start a replacement search the same day, with a vetted engineer in place within 14 days at no extra cost.

Who owns the code and the intellectual property?

You do, from the first commit. IP assignment is written into the contract, and we work inside your repositories, cloud accounts and tooling wherever possible so there is nothing to transfer at the end.

How much timezone overlap do we get?

A minimum of four hours with your working day, guaranteed in the contract. Our engineers work from Lahore (UTC+5) and Canada (UTC-8), so we can cover European and North American business hours.

Can we start with one engineer and scale later?

Yes — that is how most engagements start. One engineer on staff augmentation is a low-risk way to test how we work. Adding engineers to a running engagement is faster than the first hire because the team already holds your context.

How is this billed?

Dedicated teams and staff augmentation are a flat monthly fee per engineer, invoiced monthly in advance — no hourly timesheets and no billed overtime. Fixed-scope projects are priced against a signed scope and invoiced on milestones.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes. We sign your NDA before the requirements call if you prefer, and every engineer is under a confidentiality agreement as a condition of employment.
