Crescentek

Dedicated Developers

An extra developer on your actual team.

A dedicated Crescentek developer joins your Slack, works your sprints, commits to your repo — indistinguishable from a team hire except you're not managing payroll, benefits, or a notice period.

How integration works

Four touchpoints that make them feel like your hire.

A dedicated developer isn't a contractor you brief by email. They join your systems, your rhythm, and your communication channels from day one.

Your Slack workspace

They join your channels, respond in your rhythm, attend your standups. No separate contractor thread.

Your version control

Commits go into your repo, under your branch naming convention, with your PR template.

Your sprint cadence

Scrum, Kanban, or ad hoc — they work in whatever project management system your team already uses.

Your toolset

Jira, Linear, Notion, GitHub — we adapt to your stack, not the other way around.

What they can cover

Frontend, backend, or full-stack.

Common questions

Dedicated developer questions answered.

The questions Irish SMBs ask us most often.

Usually within 3–5 business days of agreeing scope and signing the engagement. We handle onboarding to your tools and process in the first day or two — by the end of week one they should be shipping.
They're in your Slack, on your standup calls, working from your Jira board or equivalent. They don't need task management from us — your team leads them the same way they'd lead a junior or mid-level hire.
Yes. If the fit isn't right after two weeks, we'll replace the developer without penalising you for the time already spent. We'd rather fix the match than have a difficult engagement drag on.
Dedicated arrangements mean the allocated hours are reserved for you — there's no double-booking. The developer may work on other clients in remaining hours, but your time is protected.
Mid-level to senior. We don't place junior developers in dedicated roles — the model requires someone who can operate independently and integrate into a team without significant hand-holding.
Monthly retainer based on agreed hours (typically full-time or half-time). You don't pay per task or per project — it's a flat arrangement that makes budget planning straightforward.
