Managed Engineers

Your engineers.
Our management.

Engineers who embed directly into your team, use your tools, and ship your product. Guildev handles hiring, performance management, and retention so you can focus on building.

“Managed” means we own hiring, performance, and retention.You get the output of a great team without the overhead of building one.

The Process

From request to embedded engineer

This is how we get an engineer productive in your team.

01

You tell us what you need

Share your tech stack, team structure, and project requirements. We scope the right engineer profile — full-stack, backend, frontend, DevOps, or infrastructure.

02

We source and vet

Every engineer goes through rigorous technical screening: live coding, system design, and domain expertise checks. Only the best make the cut.

03

Engineer embeds in your team

Your engineer joins your repos, CI/CD, Slack, standups, and workflows within 48 hours. They work like a full-time hire — because that's what they are to us.

04

We manage performance

Continuous 1:1s, performance tracking, and upskilling. We ensure your engineer stays productive, grows their skills, and meets your quality bar.

05

Scale or adjust anytime

Need more engineers? We add them. Need to scale down? No penalties. Engineer not the right fit? We replace them — no questions asked.

What managed means

We handle everything except writing your code

“Managed” isn't a marketing word. It's everything that makes a great engineering hire actually work — and we do all of it.

Hiring & vetting

We handle the entire recruitment pipeline. Technical screening, culture fit assessment, and reference checks. You skip the months-long hiring cycle entirely.

Performance management

Regular 1:1s, OKR tracking, and performance reviews. If an engineer isn't meeting expectations, we coach them or replace them — you never have to manage that conversation.

Onboarding & ramp-up

We work with your team to onboard each engineer into your codebase, tools, and processes. Most engineers are productive within the first week.

Retention & upskilling

We invest in engineer growth — training, certifications, and career development. Happy engineers stay longer and deliver better work.

Replacement guarantee

If an engineer isn't the right fit for any reason, we replace them at no additional cost. No awkward conversations, no gaps in coverage.

Admin & compliance

Payroll, benefits, contracts, and legal compliance are all handled by Guildev. You get a simple monthly invoice — nothing else to manage.
