A Complete Engineering Squad, Built for Your Product
We assemble fully managed, autonomous teams — developers, QA, DevOps, designers — tailored to your initiative, operating in your time zone, and delivering from sprint one.
What Is a Dedicated Team?
An Autonomous Squad That Owns Its Delivery
A dedicated team is a fully formed engineering squad that operates as an independent, product-focused unit within your organization. Unlike staff augmentation — where individuals integrate into your existing team — a dedicated squad functions with its own tech lead, defined processes, and clear ownership over a product area or initiative.
SMarDevs handles all recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and administrative overhead so your internal leadership can focus entirely on product direction and strategic alignment.

Why SMarDevs
The Infrastructure Behind Every Great Team
Built Around Your Product
Every dedicated team is assembled from scratch based on your specific technical requirements, product stage, and organizational culture — not templated from a pre-packaged offering.
Predictable Monthly Investment
Fixed monthly retainer pricing based on your team composition. No surprise invoices, no hourly billing ambiguity — just a clear, consistent cost structure that scales with your roadmap.
Full Time-Zone Alignment
Your dedicated squad operates within US business hours across Latin America. Daily standups, real-time Slack communication, and sprint ceremonies all happen in your time zone.
Senior-Led Squads
Every dedicated team includes an experienced tech lead who owns architecture decisions, maintains code quality standards, and interfaces directly with your product and engineering leadership.
Seamless Talent Continuity
We manage attrition proactively. If a team member transitions out, we source and onboard a vetted replacement with minimal disruption to your delivery cadence and institutional knowledge.
End-to-End Account Support
A dedicated account manager oversees your engagement, facilitates performance reviews, resolves blockers, and ensures the team continues to evolve in alignment with your business goals.
How It Works
From Brief to First Sprint in Weeks
Strategic Discovery
We begin with a deep dive into your product roadmap, technical architecture, team culture, and delivery expectations. This session defines the composition, seniority mix, and operating model for your dedicated squad.
Team Design
Based on discovery outputs, we design the optimal team structure — role by role — and present a staffing proposal with projected cost, timeline, and onboarding plan for your review.
Talent Sourcing & Vetting
Our recruiting team activates targeted searches for each role, running every candidate through our full technical and cultural evaluation pipeline before presenting shortlists.
Client Interviews
You meet your proposed team members individually and collectively. We facilitate structured interviews and gather feedback to refine the lineup until you are fully confident in every hire.
Onboarding & Kickoff
We handle contracts, payroll, equipment, and system access setup. Your team is formally introduced, aligned on workflows and tooling, and ready to begin delivering in their first sprint.
Ongoing Performance Management
Regular check-ins between your leadership and your SMarDevs account manager ensure the team continues to perform, adapt, and grow alongside your product and organizational needs.
