Dedicated developer, embedded into your team.

Overview

A senior dedicated developer for your project, without the marketplace risk.

A dedicated developer is a senior engineer who joins your team full focus on one project, picked for your tech stack, your culture and your business. They work inside your rituals over the long term, not across thirty parallel gigs. MAWT stays on as quality guarantor.

Target

For Swiss SMBs and growing commercial companies with a real product and a team already shipping, who need durable senior capacity and one accountable person rather than an interchangeable profile that rotates off before the context lands.

Details

You need one more developer. Not for two weeks, not running thirty parallel gigs. For your project, in your team, over time.

We match you with a senior developer from our team or our curated network. Picked for your tech stack, your culture, your business. Embedded in your rituals (daily, sprint, code review). We stay on as quality guarantor.

Why a dedicated developer beats an interchangeable profile

You need one more developer. Not for two weeks, not someone running thirty parallel gigs in the background. You need focus on your project, inside your team, over time.

Most staffing routes treat engineers as interchangeable line items. A profile arrives, ships a few tickets, then rotates off before they ever understand your codebase or your business. The context leaves with them, and your team pays for it twice: once to onboard the person, and again to rebuild everything they took with them when they left.

A dedicated developer solves this differently. The same senior human stays embedded, accumulates knowledge of your product, and becomes a real extension of your team rather than a passing resource. Decisions made in month one are still understood in month six, because the person who made them is still there.

That continuity is where the real value sits. Software is not a stack of tickets, it is a living system of decisions, trade-offs and conventions. When the same engineer holds that history, every new feature builds on what came before instead of fighting it. When the engineer rotates, that history evaporates and your team inherits a maintenance bill nobody priced in.

  • Senior profiles only, with five or more years of shipped production work.
  • Selected for your tech stack and your business context, not pulled from a generic bench.
  • Long term continuity, so the context you build does not walk out the door.
  • No layers, no intermediaries between you and the person writing the code.
  • One accountable human, so there is never any doubt about who owns a feature.

How MAWT embeds a senior dedicated developer

Our process is built to make the developer feel like one of yours from week one, not a vendor you have to manage at arm's length. The goal is simple: by the end of the first sprint, your team should forget the person came from outside.

We match you with a senior developer from our team or our curated network, chosen for your stack, your culture and your business. They then plug directly into how you already work, adopting your tools and your conventions rather than imposing their own.

  • Scoping call to understand your stack, your product and the gap you are filling.
  • Selection of a senior dedicated developer matched to those exact constraints.
  • Onboarding into your codebase, your tooling and your access in the first days.
  • Embedding into your rituals: daily standups, sprint planning, code review.
  • Continuous delivery alongside your team, owning real features end to end.
  • MAWT staying on as quality guarantor, with senior oversight on the work.
  • Regular check-ins from MAWT, so quality and direction never drift in silence.

What you get with a dedicated developer

A dedicated developer is a senior engineer who works full focus on your project as a true extension of your team. Unlike a marketplace match, they are picked for your specific tech stack and your business, not assigned at random from a pool. They embed in your rituals, the daily standup, sprint planning and code review, so they share your context instead of working blind. Because the same person stays over the long term, knowledge of your product compounds rather than resetting with every rotation. And because MAWT stays on as quality guarantor, you get senior oversight on top of senior hands: someone watching the architecture, the patterns and the standards while the work ships. The result is continuity, accountability and code you can build on, with no intermediaries and no layers between you and the person writing it.

This is the model we run for commercial Swiss SMBs and growing companies. For Kouleta, continuity and ownership mattered more than raw headcount, so a dedicated senior engineer stayed embedded across the build rather than rotating off mid-project. For Crown, the same approach meant one accountable developer carried the product context from sprint to sprint, so feature work compounded instead of stalling each time a new profile had to be re-briefed.

Concretely, that means a single point of accountability for delivery, a person who can answer why a decision was made because they were the one who made it, and a codebase that stays coherent because one senior pair of hands shapes it over time. You spend less on re-onboarding, less on rework, and more on shipping the features your roadmap actually calls for.

  • A senior engineer who treats your roadmap as their own.
  • Shared context from day one through your existing rituals.
  • Architecture and code quality watched by MAWT, not left to chance.
  • Knowledge that compounds because the person stays.
  • A single point of accountability, so delivery never falls between two stools.

Who a dedicated developer is for

This model fits Swiss SMBs and growing commercial companies that have a real product and a team already shipping, but need senior capacity they can trust over time. It works best when the product is your business, not a side experiment, and when the cost of losing context is high.

It is the right call when the work is ongoing, the context is valuable, and you want someone accountable rather than a profile you have to re-explain everything to every few weeks. If you need broader technical direction rather than hands on the keyboard, a fractional tech lead may fit better, and many teams run both side by side.

It is less suited to a one off, throwaway prototype with no future, or to work so generic that continuity carries no value. When that is the case, we will tell you plainly rather than sell you a model you do not need.

  • Product teams that need durable senior capacity, not a short patch.
  • Founders who want one accountable person, not a rotating bench.
  • Teams protecting hard won product context from constant turnover.
  • Companies in Suisse romande that value a senior human they can build a relationship with.

Frequent questions

What is the difference between a dedicated developer and a fractional tech lead?

A dedicated developer is a senior engineer focused full time on building your product inside your team. A fractional tech lead provides part time technical direction, architecture and team guidance. Many teams use both: hands on delivery from one, strategic oversight from the other.

How is this different from hiring through a marketplace?

A marketplace matches a profile that often runs several gigs at once and rotates off quickly. A dedicated developer is one senior human picked for your stack and business, embedded in your rituals long term, with MAWT staying on as quality guarantor throughout.

How quickly can a dedicated developer start?

After a short scoping call to understand your stack and the gap, we match you with a suitable senior developer and begin onboarding into your codebase and rituals within days. Exact timing depends on the stack and the specificity of the profile you need.

Is a dedicated developer right for a small team?

Yes. Teams at a human scale often benefit most, because a single senior addition is felt immediately and context is protected. You get accountable senior capacity without the overhead of a larger setup, and MAWT keeps quality oversight on the work.

How is a dedicated developer priced?

Pricing reflects the seniority of the developer and the scope of the engagement rather than a fixed package. Because the model is built for continuity, it is structured around an ongoing commitment to your project. Reach out and we will scope it to your needs.
