The Model

Transparent by design.

Most agencies hide their margins. We built ours into the brand name. When your developer wins, you win.

Where your budget goes
70% → Developer — directly rewarded for your success
10% → Account Owner — your dedicated relationship manager
20% → Platform — tools, compliance & operations

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.

01

Tell us what you're building

Share your product roadmap, tech stack, and team gaps. No lengthy RFPs — a 30-minute call is enough to get started.

02

We match you with the right developer

From our vetted pool of senior engineers who understand business context — not just syntax. You interview and approve.

03

Your developer ships with AI

Every Core70 developer is trained to use AI tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, custom LLM workflows) to compress timelines without cutting corners.

04

You stay in control

Direct Slack/Teams access. Weekly updates. Sprint reviews. Your developer integrates with your team — not the other way around.

05

Scale up or down as needed

Add engineers for a sprint, scale a full team for a product launch. The model adapts to your stage and budget.

What We Offer

One way to work with us.

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.

Start with one engineer

A full-time senior engineer embedded in your team and reporting directly to you — taking ownership of the work, not just the tickets. No middlemen, no minimum commitment. Most engagements begin here.

Most Popular

Scale to a dedicated team

When one engineer proves the model, grow into a full squad — tech lead, engineers, the roles your product needs — without the hiring overhead. Same model, same direct line, more capacity.

Team Setup
What We Solve

One engineer. Many kinds of hard problems.

The 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:

Legacy system modernization → Make the system nobody dares to touch cheaper to run — modernized in careful, tested steps, without a risky full rewrite.
AI into your product Build real AI capabilities into an existing product — without betting the roadmap on a model.
Quality & technical debt on a mature codebase Bring a cautious team modern tooling and AI safely, raising code quality and security on a product that's been running for years.
Build something new Take an idea from a first scoped step to a working product, with the same engineer who can stay on for the long run.
Why Core70

Built differently.

We've spent 25 years proving that when developers are fairly rewarded and genuinely empowered, clients get extraordinary results.

01

Developers who think like owners

Our model incentivises developers to understand your business deeply — not just close tickets. They ask "why" before writing a single line.

02

AI is a tool, not a replacement

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.

03

No hidden margins or markups

The 70/10/20 split is our public promise. You always know where your money goes — and your developer knows they're valued.

04

A track record, not a pitch

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.

Case Studies

Real teams. Real results.

Selected engagements delivered by Shinetech — our parent company, founded in 2001 — through the same operations center and engineers behind Core70 today.

Chemical SaaS · UK · 18 years

From Desktop App to Global Platform

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 AI-assisted development.

↑ From a handful of clients to 100+ companies worldwide — same team, 18 years on
"They are involved in the design of the application as well as its development, and have proposed innovative solutions to difficult problems."— Tim, Managing Director, Formpak
Office Automation SaaS · Australia

V1 to Market on a Startup Budget

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.

↑ V1 shipped within 12 months · product revenue funded all future development
"Shinetech deliver a consistently high standard of work. Skilled, productive and a pleasure to work with."— Terry McMillan, Founder & CEO, AccountAbility
