Developer Placements

Full-time assigned developers and fully outsourced teams - embedded in your business, managed end to end by Code Squirrel.

Code Squirrel AI agent mascot for developer placements

Skilled, experienced developers

Expert AI-era Development Approach

PM, QA, architecture and DevOps included

One fixed weekly rate

Assigned dedicated resourcing

One dedicated developer. An entire team behind them.

Your placement is a managed, full-time senior full-stack developer who works on nothing else.  They work exclusively on your projects and roadmap - and you carry none of the hiring, overhead or supporting team requirements.

And they're never working alone. Behind every placement sits the full Code Squirrel bench: architecture, project management, QA, UX, DevOps and support, called in on demand whenever the work needs them.

Every placement includes

  • A managed, full-time senior full-stack developer
  • AI-enabled delivery workflow, built in from day one
  • QA/UAT servers for safe testing environments
  • Developer tooling and supporting services
  • Development AI resources and tokens all-inclusive
  • Code Squirrel management, so quality never slips

Supporting resourcing

Specialists on tap, not on retainer

Pull in extra firepower whenever your project needs it. These supporting resources are available on demand to your placement - no separate contracts, no ad-hoc invoices.

Project Manager

Weekly or fortnightly update meetings, at your preference. You always know where the work stands.

Software Architect

Design reviews and technical direction, so the system you build today still works in five years.

QA Testers

Structured testing on dedicated QA/UAT environments, before your users ever find the bugs.

Senior Development Team Leader

Seasoned oversight that keeps delivery steady, unblocks issues early and protects momentum.

UX Designer

Flows and interfaces people actually enjoy using, designed alongside development.

DevOps Engineers

Environments, pipelines and infrastructure kept healthy in the background, invisible to you.

Support Engineers

Responsive help once you're live, so your team is never left holding the bag.

Infrastructure included

QA/UAT servers, developer tooling and supporting services are part of the placement - not extras on the invoice.

How a placement works

1
1. Talk to us - Get to know the team

A free 30-minute conversation with the people who do the work - not a sales rep. We map what you actually need, and tell you honestly if a placement isn't the right fit.

2
2. Match and mobilise

We assemble your dedicated developer (or team) and the supporting specialists the work demands, set up environments and tooling, and agree on a fixed weekly rate before anything starts.

3
3. Deliver, week by week

Your developer ships real work into your codebase every week, with AI-accelerated delivery and rigorous QA. Progress is tracked week by week, so nothing drifts.

4
4. One consolidated invoice

One fixed weekly rate, tracked weekly, billed as a single consolidated invoice each month. If anything could change the estimate, we flag it and get your approval first.

Our billing philosophy

One fixed weekly rate. That single figure covers everything.

Dedicated team members, infrastructure for testing environments, and every development-related resource - all in one number. No line-item roulette.

No big upfront bill

Unlike many agencies, we don't charge the full project estimate up front. Work is billed as it happens, week by week.

No ad-hoc extras

QA testing, project management and documentation are part of the rate. You'll never see them appear as surprise charges.

No silent changes

If something mid-project could affect the estimate, we flag it clearly, explain the impact, and get your approval before proceeding.
