Dedicated Development Team with AI Capabilities: Quality Delivery, Optimized Costs

A team you chose, person by person: candidates clear three screening rounds (Talent Acquisition, Tech Lead, HR), then you interview the named engineers and can decline anyone. Explore Our Talent.

Continuity that survives turnover: Saigon Technology has delivered 85+ dedicated teams. If an engineer leaves, an equivalent replacement joins at no extra cost, with a documented handover.

AI features that reach production: your team draws on Saigon Technology's 50+ AI projects in healthcare, fintech and logistics, and ships AI features through its standard QA and DevOps release gates.

Same-day review in your time zone: US business hours on request, backed by a Reston, VA team; 3-4 hours behind Sydney for AU, 1 hour behind Singapore; Vietnam afternoons cover the European morning.

"The engagements that go wrong are almost never the ones where the code was weak. They are the ones where nobody agreed who decides what, and by when. We settle that in week one, before the first sprint, because it is far cheaper to argue about ownership on a whiteboard than in a release." - Phuc (Cris) Tran, Program Manager, Saigon Technology

Dedicated Development Team Services: Engagement & Pricing Options

Saigon Technology offers four engagement models for a dedicated team: a monthly team, a POD or squad per product stream, a hybrid core with short-term specialists, and build-operate-transfer. The models differ in who holds the roadmap and who owns the team at the end, so pick by how your product moves.
software development services - icon 7

Monthly dedicated team

A monthly dedicated team gives you a stable set of roles (engineering, QA, DevOps, team leads and optional PM support) who stay with your product long enough to learn your domain. Choose it when you have an ongoing roadmap and one internal owner who sets priorities. The Wealth Management Application team below has run for 2+ years.

POD / squad model

A POD or squad is a cross-functional dedicated software team organized around one product stream, such as onboarding, billing, integrations or analytics. You track progress by the outcome that stream owns. Settle module boundaries before a second squad starts. The Health Super App below ran on a long-term mobile, backend and QA team.

Hybrid

Hybrid pairs a stable core team with short-term specialists when a phase needs them: AI and ML engineers, performance work, security hardening, or modernization and migration. You stop paying year-round for skills you need for a few sprints. The Loan Management Solution team below combined backend, frontend, QA and DevOps engineers with lending domain experts.

Build-operate-transfer

Build-operate-transfer means Saigon Technology builds and runs your team in Vietnam, then transfers the engineers into an entity you own. The exit path is agreed up front, so the team you trained becomes yours. Saigon Technology has transferred 40+ developers into client-owned entities. Compare it with other structures in our engagement models.

Why Choose Saigon Technology?

A good dedicated team partner lets you interview the named engineers before signing, keeps the same team on your product, and proves its security controls. Saigon Technology meets all three with client interviews, equivalent replacement at no extra cost, and ISO 27001 certified by BSI. 

Assessment counts when it runs against the people who will write your code. You review CVs and interview the engineers assigned to you before anything is signed, after they clear Saigon Technology's three screening rounds. If one engineer is the wrong fit, you decline that person and the engagement stands. 

Churn breaks software you shipped: the engineer who knew why a workaround exists leaves, the workaround gets "cleaned up", and an old bug returns. Saigon Technology ranked #10 in the Medium category of Southeast Asia Best Workplaces™ in Technology 2026 (Great Place To Work), a ranking built on employee surveys. 

Saigon Technology is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 by BSI, UK, with certificate numbers published and checkable. For a dedicated team on regulated data, that means audited security controls, environment separation and audit trails. Two of the three case studies above run in fintech. 

Senior-led teams lower your cost per outcome through a smaller team and fewer rebuilds. When your roadmap adds AI features, your team can draw on 30+ AI engineers across two dedicated AI teams in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. 

Overlap decides whether code review is same-day or next-day. Saigon Technology runs 10 to 12 hours of overlap with US East and West Coast schedules: Vietnam-based engineers work US business hours on request, backed by a Reston, VA team working 9-17 ET. The agreed hours go into your working agreement. 

If your scope is genuinely fixed and finite, a fixed-price project is the cheaper instrument. If nobody internally can own priorities day to day, no engagement model fixes that. We would rather say so before the contract than after. 

Saigon Technology is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with 14+ years in operation, 850+ projects delivered for 350+ clients, 400+ developers across three development centers, and a 4.8★ rating on Clutch. Those numbers describe the bench your team is drawn from. 

Saigon Technology runs a two-week risk-free trial before any long-term commitment, with a fixed end date, one contained objective and the option to walk away. Judge it on code quality, communication, review responsiveness and how the team handles an ambiguous requirement. Week-one velocity mostly measures familiarity with your codebase.

What Our Clients Say

Over the past year, collaborating with Saigon Technology Solution company, we have brought high-quality financial software solutions. STS helps us meet the strict requirements of the IT market with software engineers, software testers, and internal system control. And all of these are evidence that we have chosen a good software outsourcing partner.
Mr. Corbin van Amelsvoort
Director at Topicus Vietnam
star.svg star.svg star.svg star.svg star.svg
As the Owner and Director of ISMS Global, Australia, I understand perfectly how challenging it is to find a support team of skilled and professional developers to help grow a system. A few years ago, I found Saigon Technology Software (STS), led by Mr. Thanh Pham (CEO), and I have never looked back. STS has single-handedly taken ISMS camp management software from a concept on a napkin to an international product used by major companies around the world. If you are looking for a trusted partner to help you, then you should be talking to Thanh Pham.
Mr. Paul Upson
Director of ISMS Global, Australia

Being a client of Thanh’s, from the beginning, I have been very impressed with Thanh’s professionalism and exceptional customer service. Thanh and his team have always provided me with high-quality work at a very reasonable cost and always within the given time frame. I have no hesitation in recommending Thanh.

We value Saigon Technology’s strong support in managing the engagement from an internal delivery perspective. They were able to maintain team performance across a relatively large team, provide additional resources when required, and work collaboratively with us on matters such as gap time, discount proposals, and improvements to the working process. Their flexibility and consistent management support contributed positively to the overall partnership.

Build Your Team: Roles, Seniority, and Team Composition

If your plan is to build a dedicated offshore development team, start by designing it around delivery risk rather than around a headcount budget. The right mix of roles reduces rework and makes progress tracking easier, and the wrong mix shows up as a queue in front of one person. Roles available: product and BA, tech lead and architect, frontend, backend and mobile, QA, DevOps, UI/UX, and data and AI. 

Common team setups (examples)

  • Startup MVP squad: 1 Tech Lead, 2 engineers, 1 QA and part-time UI/UX, for one contained objective and a hard date. 
  • Scale-up feature team: 1 Lead, 3 to 6 engineers across web and mobile, QA automation and a DevOps engineer, to hold a roadmap while the product keeps shipping. 
  • Enterprise modernization team: an architect, platform experts, migration specialists, QA, DevOps and governance-friendly reporting, for work where the risk sits in the cutover.

Seniority bands

Mid engineers own well-defined tickets end to end, including tests. Senior engineers own a feature area and its trade-off calls. Lead engineers own architecture, the definition of done and the technical conversation with your side. An all-senior team spends senior time on mid-level work; stable teams sit at roughly one lead to three or four engineers, with QA and DevOps sized to release frequency.

What You Gain When You Hire a Dedicated Development Team

A dedicated team keeps the same engineers on your product, and these six gains grow the longer they stay. 

Consistent capacity means fewer ramp-ups and handovers, and a sixth-month team estimates better than a first-month one. 

The same engineers learn your business logic and edge cases, so rework drops and milestones hold. 

Dedicated team services let you add QA automation, a DevOps engineer or a domain expert, then scale back. 

A dedicated software team brings in platform, AI and ML skills for one phase without a separate hiring cycle. 

The delivery partner carries recruiting and onboarding, which avoids paying twice for a failed direct hire. 

Stable capacity gives your stakeholders credible velocity, clearer documentation and smoother scope-change handling.

FAQs

Matched profiles for a dedicated team arrive in 1-2 working days after you send a role brief, and team setup takes about 5 days once you sign. Interview scheduling on your side is usually the longest step. Niche roles such as AI engineers take longer to shortlist. 

An NDA is signed before you share requirements, and code and IP are assigned to you as work is delivered. Saigon Technology is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 by BSI (UK) and supports MSA and DPA readiness, role-based access control, secure SDLC, environment separation and audit trails. 

Saigon Technology lets you review shortlisted CVs and interview the specific engineers who would join your team before anything is signed. You can decline an individual without renegotiating the engagement. A two-week risk-free trial follows, so you decide on commitment after seeing the team work on your codebase. 

Saigon Technology runs 10 to 12 hours of overlap with US East and West Coast schedules, which makes same-day code review possible. Teams sit 3-4 hours behind Sydney and 1 hour behind Singapore, and Vietnam afternoons cover the European morning. Tooling includes Jira, Slack or Teams, and GitHub or GitLab. 

You own the backlog and set priorities while Saigon Technology runs delivery. One named Project Manager works with you directly, and you get Jira and code repository access and work with the developers. Your dedicated offshore team works to your sprint cadence, with demos at sprint close. 

Saigon Technology replaces a departing engineer with an equivalent engineer at no extra cost, and the handover is documented. It has delivered 85+ offshore dedicated teams, with documentation standards and more than one engineer on each critical area. A developer who is not the right fit is replaced. 

A dedicated development team is a long-term, allocated group of engineers plus QA, DevOps, and optional PM or BA support that works only on your product or program. It is built for predictable capacity, continuity, and domain knowledge retention, which is what separates it from project-based outsourcing, where a vendor delivers a fixed scope to a spec and then leaves.
