SteadyRabbit’s Dedicated Development Squads drop a Micro-GCC core squad into your roadmap, add Flex specialists in hours, and absorb attrition with a Buffer bench we fund—so velocity never stalls. US Advantage: your Squad Lead (and, if you opt in, a dedicated Product/Technical Manager) flies on-site for kickoff workshops and critical releases, cementing context and trust with your in-house engineers while the squad operates cost-effectively from India.
Average engineer tenure on squads
lower TCO vs. US near-shore
Unplanned roll-offs in 24 mo
median ramp payback
US clients take on-site squad-lead kickoff
For US clients we dispatch the Squad Lead—and optionally a Product/Technical Manager—for a 2- to 5-day in-person immersion. They map domain workflows, align with stakeholders, and co-write the Definition of Done. During critical phases (go-live, scalability spikes) they can return on-site to de-risk handovers. Result: face-to-face trust plus remote-team efficiency.
We build AI that does more than think — it gets things done.
Our Agentic systems deliver measurable outcomes: reduced latency, smarter operations, and cross-department intelligence.

All models inherit: Micro-GCC SLA, Shift-Left gates, SteadCAST forecasting, Buffer cover at SteadyRabbit’s cost.
Tech stack • Domain • Soft skills
Aptitude • Code challenge • Scenario interview • leadership round (12 % pass)
finalist pairs on a live ticket (bill-free).
Time-zone Preference • Communication Style
IDE, VPN, CI/CD keys issued pre-start.
Engineers usually ship code to prod in week 1.
Squad Lead joins your scrum + SteadyRabbit delivery sync (can be on-site for US kickoff & release weeks).
Velocity, risk forecasts, bench vs. flex delta.
Lead time, defect escape rate, Core utilisation ~85 %.
Resize squad, rebalance skills, reset burn; co-signed.
Result: Procurement now runs with autonomous decision loops — fewer escalations, faster approvals, smarter spend.
Three months for Core Squad Lite; most clients renew 6–12 months.
4–6 hours with US Eastern Time is typical.
The squad itself works fully remote for cost efficiency. However, we fly the Squad Lead onsite for the kickoff sprint—and again during critical milestones—so domain context and relationships are forged face-to-face. A dedicated Product/Technical Manager (aligned to US hours) maintains daily sync, giving you in-person rapport without a permanent onsite bench.
Flex hours bill only when activated; Core squad rate fixed for the term.
30-day notice; Buffer bench retains knowledge so restart is frictionless.
QA remains an essential lane throughout the project. Shift-Left moves some quality checks earlier (architecture reviews, automated unit tests, static scans), but we still staff a dedicated QA squad for functional, regression, and UAT cycles. The difference is that testers join the sprint from Day 1, working alongside developers, instead of arriving only after code freeze.
Contracts signed → kickoff in 10–14 business days.
Let’s assemble a Micro-GCC squad that expands when you sprint and contracts when you breathe.
