Named engineers, full-time on your work, talking to you directly — and answerable for what ships. Not a marketplace, not a bench. 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 own engineering team — people 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. One 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 engineer, by name, 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 judgement, 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, judgement, 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.
Barts Health NHS Trust, one of the largest trusts in England, replaced a paper training register with a system that had to stay right for a decade. When the pandemic came, the same system supported evacuation planning and infection tracing at NHS Nightingale — because the people who built it were still looking after it.
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.
