Dedicated development team

Lease a complete engineering team. Not bodies. Not hours.

A Lumetha pod is a pre-formed senior team — backend, frontend, mobile, DevOps — under one accountable technical lead, on a monthly retainer, working as your engineering department. Published pricing. Two-week paid pilot. Proven on systems most agencies won't attempt.

What you actually get

  • A whole team, already formed. Engineers who have shipped together for years — not strangers assembled for your invoice. Cloud, backend, web, mobile, and DevOps in one pod.
  • One accountable lead. A senior technical lead owns your outcome, joins your calls, and is the single throat to choke. You never manage five contractors.
  • Ownership of outcomes, not hours. Pods run your roadmap: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and the on-call reality of production software.
  • AI-augmented throughput. Our engineers work with modern AI tooling under senior review — you get team-level output without team-level headcount. See what one lead shipped in six months.
  • Your IP, your repos, your accounts. Everything lives in infrastructure you own from day one. Contracts include full IP assignment and NDAs.

Proof, not promises

The same pods available to you engineered The Genesys — a platform spanning 12+ microservices, a WordPress marketplace, Flutter apps, blockchain print rights, and an OTA-managed IoT fleet — and RYD Nepal's complete fleet-operations platform, shipped by one fractional CTO with AI tooling in under six months. Read both; that depth is the interview.

How an engagement works

  1. Scoping call (30 minutes)You bring the problem; our technical lead brings questions. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so on the call.
  2. Two-week paid pilotA real slice of your roadmap, shipped. You see the code, the communication rhythm, and the velocity before committing to anything.
  3. Pod on retainerMonthly, at the published rate. Scale the pod up or down with a month's notice. Cancel anytime — we keep clients with results, not contracts.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a dedicated team and staff augmentation?

Staff augmentation rents you individuals you must manage and integrate yourself. A dedicated team is a complete unit with its own lead that takes ownership of outcomes. If you don't have strong in-house engineering management, a dedicated team is almost always the right model — full comparison here.

How fast can the team start?

Typically within one to two weeks of the scoping call, beginning with the two-week paid pilot.

How much does it cost?

Pods start at $3,900/month and pricing for every tier is published on our site. No custom-quote games.

How do timezones work?

Nepal (UTC+5:45) overlaps the whole European afternoon live; for the US it's an overnight cycle — brief us in your evening, review finished work in your morning. Australia and Singapore get near-full-day overlap.
