Hire a dedicated developer
A permanent hire takes months. A freelancer can vanish overnight. A dedicated developer sits in between: a single senior engineer embedded in your team for the long haul, in your tools and stand-ups, matched to your stack, with a senior team and QA behind them. You get the capacity now, scale it as you need, and own the code throughout.
Embedded in teams across Australia, the United States, Canada and the Middle East.
Senior capacity that stays
When your team is stretched, the honest options are all imperfect. Hiring permanently is slow and locks in headcount; a freelancer is here today and gone tomorrow; and managing a lone remote hire is a job on top of your job. A dedicated developer is a cleaner answer to the same problem.
The idea is simple. You get one senior engineer added to your team as a genuine extension of it, matched to your stack, working in your tools and your rituals, and staying long enough to build real knowledge of your systems, rather than parachuting in for a sprint and leaving. Most of our engineers work across the Microsoft development stack every day.
What makes it safe is what sits behind them. Your dedicated developer is never a lone contractor: a senior team, a lead and a dedicated QA department stand behind every hire, so there is always cover and review. Need more than one person? The hire developers hub lays out every option, from a single engineer to a full team.
Need a senior developer who joins your team quickly, stays for the long haul and ships as one of your own? That is exactly what we do.

Whether you need extra long-term hands, someone to own a module, or cover for a departure, here is what a dedicated developer you hire through Avaib can take on.
A senior developer who joins your stand-ups, your board and your repo and stays for the long haul. Picture an extra pair of trusted hands you never had to spend months recruiting, ready the week you need them.
A dedicated engineer who takes real ownership of a part of your product, learns it deeply over time, and keeps improving it, so that corner of your business gets steadily better instead of stalling when a sprint ends.
A senior developer who steps into a sudden hole (a departure, parental leave, a long roadmap spike) so your delivery keeps moving while you decide on a permanent plan, or instead of one. Nothing on the roadmap slips through the gap.
When your own team is at capacity, a dedicated developer clears the backlog alongside them, matched to your stack, so features ship instead of piling up.
A senior engineer with a skill you only need ongoing but not often enough to justify a permanent seat, embedded in your team for as long as the work lasts.
A dedicated developer who learns your codebase, maintains it, fixes it and extends it over months and years, so knowledge builds up instead of walking out the door.

This is the situation we are most often called in to solve. It is nobody's fault; it is just what happens when a team needs senior capacity faster than a permanent hire can arrive, and safer than a freelancer can offer.
Recruiting a senior developer eats months of interviews and notice periods, and once they are on the payroll you own that headcount whether the roadmap needs it in six months or not.
The quick fix, a lone freelancer, can vanish mid-build for a better offer, and there is no one behind them to pick it up. Their knowledge, and half-finished work, walk out the door the moment they do.
Even when you find a good remote developer, onboarding, day-to-day management and cover when they are sick or on leave all land on you. That is work piled on top of the work you were hired to do.
The cost of the gap is not just the empty seat. It is the months lost recruiting, the risk of a freelancer walking mid-build, and the management load of a lone remote hire. Picture all three of those weights lifted at once: a dedicated developer who fills the gap now, scales with you, and has a senior team and QA behind them is built to remove exactly that.
Two ways to bring in capacity
Pick the level that fits. Both are staffed by senior engineers matched to your stack, backed by QA and a 30-day warranty, with one accountable point of contact at Avaib.
A single senior engineer added to your existing team as a long-term extension of it, in your tools, your process and your stand-ups. Ideal when you have the direction and simply need trusted senior hands who stay.
When one developer is not enough, the same model scales to a full managed squad that owns delivery as a unit. See the whole-team option on our dedicated team page when a single hire will not cover it.
The concerns, answered
These are the real concerns we hear before someone adds a dedicated developer to their team. Here is exactly how Avaib takes each one off the table.
Why Avaib
Plenty of firms can put a body on your team. Fewer pair two decades of embedding senior engineers with a whole team and QA behind every hire, one accountable point of contact, and a price that does not punish you for it.
We have embedded developers into client teams since 2004, across more than 600 delivered projects, so a dedicated hire from Avaib is a proven model, not an experiment on your roadmap.
Your dedicated developer never works alone. A senior team, a lead and a dedicated QA department stand behind them, so there is always cover, review and someone to pick up if plans change.
Every engineer we place is a working senior, backed by QA and a 30-day warranty, so the person embedded in your team is genuinely experienced from day one.
Scale one dedicated developer up to a team or wind it back as priorities move, so you get the exact capacity you need without owning headcount you may not need next quarter.
The same senior capability Australian, US, Canadian and Middle-East firms charge a fortune for, embedded in your team from around USD 25 per hour.
The code, the data, the documentation and the accounts stay yours throughout, on standard, well-supported tools, so there is no lock-in to us at any point.

Tell us what your team is missing, meet and approve the developer, and they embed and start delivering, so you always see progress and never face a risky, anonymous hire.
We start with the gap: the skills, the seniority, how you run your team and where a dedicated developer fits, so we match you to someone who slots into your setup, not a generic CV off a bench.
You meet the developer we propose and approve the fit before anything begins, so you are confident in exactly who is joining your team rather than being handed an anonymous resource.
Your dedicated developer plugs into your tools, stand-ups and repo and starts delivering in provable slices tested by our QA department, so you see progress early and momentum builds.
You flex the engagement up or down as priorities shift, backed by a 30-day warranty and ongoing support, with a developer who keeps building knowledge of your systems over time.

Common questions
It means adding one senior engineer to your team as a long-term extension of it, without recruiting, hiring and onboarding them yourself. They join your stand-ups, your tools and your repo and ship alongside your people, so it feels like an in-house hire without the months of recruiting or the permanent headcount.
Avaib has embedded senior developers into client teams since 2004, across more than 600 delivered projects. Your dedicated developer is a vetted senior specialist, backed by a dedicated QA department, a senior team and a 30-day warranty, with code and accounts you own outright.
A permanent hire takes months to recruit and locks you into fixed headcount you may not need next quarter. A lone freelancer can leave mid-build with no cover and their knowledge walks out with them. A dedicated developer sits between the two: you get a long-term senior engineer now, who scales up or down as priorities move.
The key difference is what stands behind them: a senior team, a lead and QA. So when your developer is on leave or plans change, the work is documented and covered, and nothing stalls.
Yes. Many clients start with a single dedicated developer to add senior capacity, then scale up to a full managed team as the roadmap grows, or wind the engagement back down when priorities shift.
If you already know you need a whole build staffed rather than one hire, our dedicated team option covers that, and you can move between the two without a permanent commitment either way.
Our senior developers work at a cost-effective rate of around USD 25 per hour: the same capability Australian, US, Canadian and Middle-East firms charge a fortune for, at a fraction of the price. One Canadian media and broadcasting client cut their development investment by roughly 75% against local vendor quotes and still received the same high-quality solution, backed by a 30-day warranty. The exact cost depends on the seniority and the skills you need.
We scope it clearly up front so you get a plain-language quote before anything starts, with no long-term lock-in, and you can scale the engagement up or down as your needs change.
Every engineer we place is a working senior, backed by a dedicated QA department and a 30-day warranty. You are never funding someone learning on your budget.
You also meet and approve the developer we propose before anything starts, so you are confident in exactly who is joining your team rather than being handed an anonymous resource off a bench.
Your dedicated developer speaks clear English and works with real overlap for teams in Australia, the US, Canada and the Middle East, joining your stand-ups and working in your tools so they feel like part of your team, not a distant vendor.
Avaib handles the HR, the cover and the coordination behind them, so the day-to-day management overhead of a remote hire is our job, not yours. Communication is central to how we work, never an afterthought.
