Dedicated Developers for teams in the United States

US product teams usually need a studio that can write in their language of scope, risk, and calendar — without pretending to be a Delaware office. Kodees Labs is India-based. We collaborate with American founders and operators on overlapping hours, a written proposal, and a repository you own. No US street address, no invented coastal HQ. Senior engineers embedded in your cadence — capacity you can plan around, with review discipline included.

Engagements typically start at one month and renew by agreement.

We overlap US mornings from IST (typically EST/PST standups in your evening / our morning). Async updates cover the rest of the day.

Embedded engineers collaborating on product delivery

Problem

Staffing gaps create thrash, not velocity.

Agencies that disappear between standups leave your team holding context alone. Juniors billed as seniors make the gap worse and more expensive.

A hiring freeze does not pause the roadmap. You need capacity that shows up in your repos and your rituals — not a parallel process in someone else’s Jira.

Solution

Embed people who already ship like seniors.

Dedicated capacity on your stack, in your rituals, with the same engineering bar we use on our own builds. Knowledge transfer is a default, not an extra.

We staff to the seniority you need and say so in the proposal. Ramps for a launch are planned so quality does not fall off a cliff.

Who this is for

A fit when the problem looks like this.

  • Product teams that need a senior engineer embedded in their cadence
  • Companies shipping a larger roadmap that cannot pause for a six-month hire
  • Squads that want extra capacity without a vendor who vanishes between standups
  • Leads who need named people, not an anonymous bench

Capabilities

What we deliver in this practice.

  • Full-time or part-time embedded engineers
  • Participation in your planning and reviews
  • Ownership of agreed backlog slices
  • Knowledge transfer as a default
  • Optional design pairing when scoped
  • Launch ramps with notice so quality holds
  • Regular demos and written progress notes

Process

How this service actually runs.

  1. 01

    Match the seat

    Seniority, stack, and cadence. We will not staff a junior into a seat you paid as senior.

  2. 02

    Join the rituals

    Your repos, your planning, your reviews. Context stays in your system.

  3. 03

    Own a slice

    Agreed backlog with review discipline. Demos are routine, not a quarterly surprise.

  4. 04

    Transfer as you go

    Notes, pairing, and decisions written where your team already looks.

  5. 05

    Renew on purpose

    Engagements typically start at one month. Scale up for a launch with notice — not a panic Friday.

Every serious build still follows the studio path — Discover through Improve. See the full studio process.

Technology

Stack we typically reach for here.

  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • React
  • PostgreSQL
  • Next.js

Deliverables

What you leave with.

  • Named engineer capacity for the engagement window
  • Work integrated into your repositories and process
  • Regular demos and written progress notes
  • Knowledge-transfer artifacts as a default
  • A staffing plan that states seniority clearly

Outcomes

What this is meant to change.

  • Capacity you can put on a roadmap without inventing a parallel vendor process
  • Seniors in the seat you paid for — named, not anonymous
  • Context that stays in your repos when the engagement ends

Teams in the United States

Who this page is for.

  • Early-stage SaaS and marketplace founders
  • Operators replacing an agency build they cannot maintain
  • Teams that want a four-week MVP or a defined product slice

The practice itself is unchanged. Read the Dedicated Developers page for the full offering without a location overlay.

Starting price

Honest commercial footing.

Quote after a written brief

Scope drives the number. You get a written proposal before build starts — not a surprise invoice after.

This practice typically sits in our Engineering pricing lane — still a scoped proposal, not a menu quote.
