How product companies work with us
Three models. One consistent outcome.
More engineering throughput, faster than local hiring, at a fraction of the cost.
What makes this different
Not a talent marketplace. Not a contracting agency.
Long-term codebase commitment, not task-by-task contracts
We place engineers who join your team for months or years — not contractors completing isolated tickets. They learn your architecture, your patterns, and your standards.
Briefed on your architecture before day one
Engineers review your codebase documentation, past PRs, and coding style guide during a structured first week. They don't learn on your time — they arrive ready.
Company contract, not five freelancers
You sign one agreement with a registered company. We handle HR, payroll, equipment, and accountability for every person on the engagement.

Who we work with
The companies that use Codalyst Tech
From seed-stage startups to public-market enterprises — the common thread is a product team that needs more engineering throughput than local hiring allows.
Funded startups
Seed and Series A startups need to ship fast with limited runway for UK or US salary costs. Offshore engineers give them full-time delivery at a monthly cost that fits a startup budget.
Scale-ups
Series A to C companies building product faster than local recruitment allows. Offshore engineers slot into existing sprints in 5–10 days — not 3 months.
SaaS product companies
SaaS companies with ongoing feature development needs use an offshore engineering pod to permanently reduce their engineering cost base while shipping consistently.
Enterprises with backlog or capability gaps
Enterprise teams with a backlog too large for the in-house team, or a skills gap (mobile, data engineering, DevOps) they cannot justify a permanent hire for.
