Full-time senior engineers — not freelancers, not a marketplace — embedded in your team and talking to you directly. Transparent 70/10/20 pricing, no minimum team size. Start with one.
Most agencies hide their margins. We built ours into the brand name. When your developer wins, you win.
And 70% really does mean 70%. It goes to the specific engineer building your product — not pooled across a workforce that includes idle benches, sales staff, and middlemen. Most outsourcing firms can't promise this. We keep bench costs below 3% and absorb them within the 20% platform fee.
Share your product roadmap, tech stack, and team gaps. No lengthy RFPs — a 30-minute call is enough to get started.
From our vetted pool of senior engineers who understand business context — not just syntax. You interview and approve.
Every Core70 developer is trained to use AI tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, custom LLM workflows) to compress timelines without cutting corners.
Direct Slack/Teams access, weekly updates, and sprint reviews. Yes, there's a time difference — but from the UK and Europe you get several hours of live overlap every working morning, when your engineer is online for real-time conversations. The rest runs asynchronously, so work moves forward even after your day ends.
Add engineers for a sprint, scale a full team for a product launch. The model adapts to your stage and budget.
One model, whatever the size. A senior engineer — or a full team — embedded in yours, owning the outcome and talking to you directly. Start with one. Scale when it's working.
A full-time senior engineer embedded in your team and reporting directly to you — taking ownership of the work, not just the tickets. They build and ship into your environments; production stays in your hands. No minimum term; thirty days' notice either way. Most engagements begin here.
Most Popular How a dedicated developer works →A dedicated team takes on the environment your customers depend on: named access, deployments and incidents handled by the engineers who wrote the code, and one full-time Account Owner accountable for it. Not a question of headcount — teams often start as one engineer.
Dedicated Team What that means →A fixed price can give you one certain number. But it also means we only deliver what was signed — even when we find a better way halfway through. That's why most of our partnerships start small, and grow as trust does. It's also why we don't do fixed-price the way agencies do.
So we'd rather start small than quote a single fixed number for a one-off delivery. Begin with a piece of work, see how we actually operate, and let it grow from there — that's the conversation we want to have.
See how we work & what it costsThe same model fits whatever you're up against — because what you're hiring is judgment, not a fixed scope. A few of the problems engineers solve most often:
We've spent 25 years proving that when developers are fairly rewarded and genuinely empowered, clients get extraordinary results.
Our model incentivises developers to understand your business deeply — not just close tickets. They ask "why" before writing a single line.
See what ownership looks like →We don't automate developers away. We train them to use AI to handle boilerplate, so their focus stays on architecture, judgment, and your problem.
How we actually build →The 70/10/20 split is our public promise. You always know where your money goes — and your developer knows they're valued.
See the full 70/10/20 breakdown →Two decades of delivery for US, UK and European clients, with offices in Singapore, London and New York. Many of these relationships have run 5 to 18 years, backed by Cyber Essentials Plus (UK) and ISO 27001 certification.

Formpak needed to modernise a legacy desktop system for the fragrance and flavour industry — without disrupting a growing international client base. A small, stable Core70-model team delivered continuous evolution across three technology generations, from Windows to Linux, legacy databases to PostgreSQL, and eventually incorporating AI into the development workflow.
AccountAbility had a clear vision for a SaaS platform serving small businesses — but limited runway. A dedicated team of 4 developers and 1 tester scoped ruthlessly, shipped iteratively, and delivered a commercially viable V1 within the first year. Revenue from V1 self-funded V2 and V3, with no new funding rounds needed.
From a handwritten Word doc to a Fortune 500 system with 4,000 users. Six clients across Australia, Europe, the UK, and global — selected engagements that show the full spectrum of how we work.
A 30-minute call is all it takes. No decks, no hard sell.
