Our approach
Not a template. Your answer, engineered.
Four disciplines we apply to every engagement — tuned to your context, your team, your constraint.
- 01DiscoverStep 01 of 03
Managed, not just placed.
Our HR, our payroll, our equipment, our performance reviews. You pay one consolidated invoice. When someone leaves, we replace within 5 days.
- 02DesignStep 02 of 03
Only engineers we’d hire ourselves.
Every developer on our bench has shipped production code for Ligio. If we wouldn’t put them on our own product, we won’t put them on yours.

Timezone aligned.
IST works for UK mornings, US evenings, AUS afternoons. Your developers are available for 4-6h of overlap. Not 3AM heroics.

What it's like working with us
The Python engineers we got through Ligio are better than two of our in-house team. We’ve stopped recruiting locally for these roles.

Questions

Still have questions? Talk to us — we answer within a business day.
10common questions
01Do I interview the developer?
Yes. You interview them on your process. We filter for seniority and fit first. You make the final call.
02What if they're not a good fit?
Replace within 5 days, no charge. The 3-day paid trial exists precisely so misfits don't become 3-month mistakes.
03Who handles HR, payroll, equipment?
We do. Everything. You pay one monthly invoice. The developer is on our payroll, using our laptop, with our HR team.
04Timezone overlap?
IST gives 4h overlap with UK (2pm-6pm IST / 9am-1pm BST), 4h with US East (5pm-9pm IST / 7am-11am EST), 5h with AUS (9am-2pm IST / 1pm-6pm AEST).
05Is the IP ours?
Yes. Clear IP-assignment in every contract. Your code, your product, your IP — always.
06Can I scale up or down?
Yes. 30-day notice to add or remove. We don't lock you into annual contracts.
07How long does a typical engagement take?
Most projects run 10-18 weeks from kickoff to production launch. We share a milestone plan in week one and update weekly.
08Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. Standard mutual NDA on request, before the first technical conversation.
09Who owns the code and IP?
You do. Code is in your GitHub org from day one. All IP transfers unambiguously on delivery.
10What does your pricing model look like?
For v1 builds: fixed scope, fixed milestones. For ongoing work: monthly retainer with a defined team. We don't do time-and-material surprise billing.
