Squad vs seats
Dedicated team vs. staff augmentation: why a squad, and not four seats
Staff Augmentation: 4 seats

Seats report to your leads, one by one. Your leads review every PR and carry the context.
Dedicated Team: 1 squad

After launch
Check-ins with every member
Hear friction inside the squad before it reaches delivery.
A Talent Experience Manager meets each engineer about every two weeks and your manager on a fixed cadence. A red flag means about a one-in-five chance of an ending within two months, so every flag becomes an action item with an owner (Working Paper 02).
What this step prevents, by role
Run by Talent Experience Manager.
You receive issues raised before they reach your delivery.
95%of the 420 issues raised in check-ins were closed.

A change in the squad isn't a restart.

Employer of Record (EOR): the engineer is a BEON employee. Agent of Record (AOR): the engineer works as an independent contractor and BEON manages the contract, payments and classification. A dedicated team touches several systems at once, so the control mapping is done per member and per system before the squad starts.

"BEON.tech operates as a true partner rather than a vendor."
BEON.tech has demonstrated strong project management practices that align closely with our internal agile processes. Their engineers integrate directly into our sprint cycles, participate in daily standups, and maintain clear communication around progress, blockers, and deliverables.
"They were easy to work with and reasonable to negotiate with."
More work done in a shorter period of time. Great team morale and energy. The team members from BEON are positive, creative, and hard working.

FAQs
Dedicated development team FAQs
What is a dedicated development team?
A squad of engineers that works only on your product, on one area of your roadmap, for as long as you need it. At BEON that's 3–6 senior LATAM engineers with a BEON tech lead, inside your process. More on the dedicated team model.
How is a dedicated team different from other engagement models?
In Staff Augmentation you add seats that your leads direct and review. A dedicated team is a squad with its own BEON tech lead, designed with you for an area of the roadmap, while you run the sprint. In a Managed Team BEON also runs delivery and you set the outcome. Engagement models, explained.
Who manages a dedicated development team: our leadership or yours?
Both, with the split written down before kickoff. Architecture, standards and priorities stay with your leadership. The BEON tech lead carries the technical day to day inside them.
Will the team follow our process?
Yes: your repo, your CI, your rituals, your definition of done, from week one.
Do dedicated team engineers work in our time zone?
Yes. They work from Latin America, within two hours of U.S. Eastern Time. The overlap for each role is set in the team blueprint.
What if a team member or the tech lead leaves?
A member is replaced within four weeks, through the full vetting, at no extra cost; the tech lead runs the handover inside the squad. If the tech lead leaves, a new lead is named and overlaps with the squad before the handover.
Are they the same engineers over time?
That's the point of a squad. If someone changes, replacement is within four weeks and the lead keeps the context in the team.
How long does it take to build a dedicated development team?
First CV in 4 days, the profile of each engineer you end up hiring in 7.5 (medians, 2026). A full squad usually staffs in parallel.
How is access governed for a whole team?
Per member, per system, approved by you, reviewed every quarter and revoked on the last day, with records ready for an audit.
Which devices?
Work-only laptops, encrypted and enrolled in your device management (MDM), for every member.
Who owns the code?
You do. NDA and IP assignment are signed by every member before repo access.
Do you support SOC 2, HIPAA or GDPR?
Yes. Your framework applies to the whole squad; we map our controls to it per member and per system before the squad starts.
How much does a dedicated software development team cost?
$35,000–$60,000 a month for a squad of 3–6, depending on roles and seniority. You approve the shape and cost before anyone is hired.
Why a squad and not separate seats?
The squad has its own technical owner and keeps its context. Seats report to your leads one by one.
Can we scale a dedicated team up or down, and is there a minimum term?
Yes, with 30 days' notice. No minimum term, no exit fee.
Can some roles be part-time?
Yes. A role the squad doesn't need full time, DevOps for example, can be part-time. It's set in the blueprint you approve before staffing.
Are there setup or delivery fees?
No. The squad rate covers the engineers, the tech lead and everything around them.
Your roadmap, your stack, your rules. A whole team that runs on them.
A squad designed with you, a BEON tech lead inside it, and a blueprint with roles and cost approved before anyone is hired.
