Dedicated IT Teams (Team Leasing) is our specialized service providing complete, cohesive software engineering squads to design, build, and scale your digital products, cloud platforms, or AI applications. Instead of running 6–8 concurrent in-house recruitment processes and waiting months for onboarding, you receive a production-ready team with a single SLA, aligned delivery culture, and transparent commercial terms.
IT Boutique vs Outsourcing Factory: Operating since 2012 in Warsaw, Commoditech avoids corporate overhead. We hand-pick senior European engineers specifically for your architecture, and every profile is technically vetted.
Why a Dedicated Team Outperforms Individual Staff Augmentation
When launching a new greenfield product, refactoring core legacy infrastructure, or migrating to cloud microservices, hiring one developer rarely solves the bottleneck. You need a balanced squad combining architecture, backend, frontend, test automation, and DevOps:
- Zero Team Friction: The squad starts with proven agile frameworks, aligned code review standards, and familiar toolsets.
- Single Point of Accountability: You work with one dedicated account manager and a unified monthly invoice—avoiding multiple contractor agreements.
- Knowledge Continuity: In case of illness or planned departure, we provide a replacement and knowledge handover.
- Rapid Budget Scalability: Scale the team size up or down based on your roadmap milestones without long-term severance risks.
Standard Dedicated Squad Composition (Product Squad)
Depending on your project scope, we assemble squads from 3 to 12+ senior specialists. A typical setup includes:
| Role | Key Deliverables | Dedication |
|---|---|---|
| Tech Lead / Architect | Architecture governance, code review standards, technology roadmap, integrations | 100% or 50% |
| Senior Backend Developers | Business logic, microservices, API architecture, databases (Java, .NET, Python) | 1–4 engineers (100%) |
| Senior Frontend Developers | SPA architecture, responsive UI, design system, web performance (React, TypeScript, Next.js) | 1–2 engineers (100%) |
| QA Automation Engineer | Automated E2E/API testing, test pyramids, regression suites (QA Testers) | 100% |
| DevOps / Platform Engineer | Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, cloud cost control (DevOps) | 50% – 100% |
| Scrum Master / Agile PM | Scrum ceremonies, blocker resolution, sprint metrics, velocity tracking (Scrum Master) | Optional |
Two Engagement Modes: Extension vs Managed Squad
- Dedicated Extension (Client-Managed): The squad integrates directly into your internal CTO, VP of Engineering, or Product Owner. Developers join your daily stand-ups, report in your Jira/GitHub, and function as your direct engineering arm.
- Managed Squad (Commoditech-Managed): Commoditech assumes full operational responsibility for sprint execution, delivery milestones, QA velocity, and architectural integrity. Perfect for business-focused leaders who want to focus on commercial KPIs while trusting engineering to proven experts.
Comparison: In-House Hiring vs Individual Staffing vs Dedicated Team
| Factor | In-House Direct Hire | Solo Staff Augmentation | Commoditech Dedicated Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to Start | 3–6 months | 2–6 weeks | 2–6 weeks |
| Management Overhead | Very High (HR, payroll) | Medium (multiple vendors) | Minimal (Single SLA & invoice) |
| Team Chemistry | Formed from scratch | Individual contractors | Unified standards & culture |
| Billing Model | Salary + employer costs | T&M, per contractor | Competitive T&M rates, one invoice |
| Turnover Risk | Borne by client | Requires new search | Replacement & knowledge handover provided |
Timeline: From Briefing to Sprint 1 (typically 2–6 Weeks)
- Step 1: Briefing & Architecture Discovery. Defining the tech stack, seniority distribution, sprint cadence, and product milestones.
- Step 2 (2–5 business days): First CVs & Technical Vetting. Every profile is technically vetted. You receive shortlisted profiles with technical dossiers.
- Step 3: Matching Interviews & Master Agreement. Your technical leadership interviews key leads. Signing of NDA, framework SLA, and DORA/IP compliance agreements.
- Step 4: Onboarding & Sprint 0. Available engineers start immediately; a full squad typically within 2–6 weeks, depending on notice periods. Environment provisioning, repo access, architecture sync, and kickoff of the first development sprint.
Enterprise Security, IP Transfer, and DORA Compliance
Operating as a premier Warsaw IT boutique serving banking (e.g. Bank Pekao) and pharmaceutical leaders, we maintain high legal and operational standards:
- Full IP Transfer to the Client: All code, documentation, scripts, and architecture created by the squad become your company's exclusive property upon invoice payment.
- DORA Regulatory Compliance: Full adherence to EU DORA Article 30 standards for critical financial ICT services (including audit inspection rights, disaster recovery, and incident reporting). Read our guide on DORA vendor requirements.
- Professional Liability Insurance & NDA: Comprehensive contractual insurance protection and strict confidentiality protocols as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is IT team leasing and when should you choose it over individual staff augmentation?
IT team leasing involves assembling a cohesive, ready-to-work engineering squad (Tech Lead, developers, QA, DevOps) dedicated to building or modernizing a specific product module. Choose team leasing when you need to accelerate your roadmap or build an end-to-end product, avoiding 5–8 individual recruitment cycles and internal management friction.
How much does a dedicated software development team in Poland cost in 2026?
Pricing depends on team composition and seniority. We work on a Time & Materials basis at competitive T&M rates and quote for the specific squad and stack. Rates in Poland are typically 50–70% lower than in-house hiring in Germany, Switzerland, the UK, or the US. See our DACH cost comparison.
How fast can Commoditech assemble a dedicated IT squad?
First CVs are typically provided within 2–5 business days. Available engineers can start immediately; a full squad usually starts within 2–6 weeks, depending on the selected engineers' notice periods.
Who manages the external team and ensures code quality?
We offer two models: Managed Squad (where Commoditech provides a Tech Lead / Agile PM responsible for delivery velocity, sprint reporting, and architecture) or Dedicated Extension (where the team integrates directly into your existing CTO, Product Owner, and Git workflow).
Are Commoditech teams compliant with EU banking regulations and DORA?
Yes. Commoditech engineers regularly work with regulated European banks and fintechs (such as Bank Pekao). Our contracts comply with DORA Article 30 requirements for ICT third-party vendors, including strict NDAs, professional liability insurance, and full transfer of intellectual property (IP) rights to the client.
