Developer on Lease
Hiring takes 3–6 months. Our Developer on Lease model puts a senior engineer inside your team within 2 weeks — working in your Jira, your GitHub, your Slack, and your standups. All the output of a full-time hire. None of the recruitment cost or notice period risk.
Service Overview
The traditional choice between hiring full-time and engaging a project-based agency leaves a gap: what if you need a senior engineer embedded in your team, working on your roadmap, but without the 6-month hiring cycle and permanent headcount cost?
Mavin Agency’s Developer on Lease model was designed to fill that gap. Our clients are typically Series A/B startups with a product roadmap that requires consistent, high-quality engineering output — but not enough work to justify a full-time hire across every discipline. You lease the exact seniority and stack expertise you need, for as long as you need it, with the flexibility to scale your team composition as your roadmap evolves.
Your leased developer works exclusively on your product during the engagement. They attend your standups, use your tools, follow your processes, and are accountable to your leadership — not to an account manager at our agency.
Our Process
Requirements & Culture Brief
We learn your technical stack, your team culture, your working hours, and your immediate priorities before matching you with an engineer.
Developer Matching (48–72 hours)
We present 1–3 matched developer profiles with technical credentials, portfolio samples, and a recorded technical introduction. You interview before committing.
2-Week Onboarding Sprint
Your leased developer gets full codebase access, attends team rituals, and completes a structured onboarding sprint to understand your architecture before taking on independent ownership.
Ongoing Engagement
Monthly check-ins between Mavin Agency leadership and your team lead to address any concerns, request skill adjustments, or plan team expansion.
Knowledge Transfer on Exit
Departing developers complete a structured knowledge transfer — documented architecture decisions, in-progress feature handover, and codebase walkthrough with your team.
