Dedicated Teams

A transparent cost-plus model: you negotiate salaries directly and lead your team; we handle hiring, operations, and infrastructure. From day one, your team plugs into our AI-native delivery process.

Fact: as Moldova IT Park residents we pay a 7% all-inclusive revenue tax — your team's full cost stays transparent, line by line.

How it works

With the Dedicated Development Teams (cost-plus model), you directly negotiate salaries with the team while benefiting from our infrastructure, expertise, and support. We handle recruitment, payroll, and operational support for a defined management fee. This allows you to focus on building your teams while maintaining cost efficiency.

This model enables you to build dedicated teams with full transparency and direct involvement, while FusionWorks ensures smooth operations and compliance, maximizing value for both parties.

For better control of your team, we offer a staff monitoring tool at no additional cost.

Your team, inside our factory

Cost-plus gives you the control of an in-house team. What it usually doesn’t give you is the machinery around it — that part is ours. Your team inherits our delivery process: quality gates, automated pipelines, AI tooling, and the engineering standards we apply to our own products. Off-hours, that machinery keeps running on work that needs no decisions from you — review, refactoring, compliance — at no change to the management fee.

  • Your people, your direction — our process, tooling, and quality gates underneath
  • Pipelines keep working nights and weekends; the fee doesn’t grow
  • Engineers develop inside our grades and mentoring system, so the team gets stronger over time
  • No AI infrastructure to buy or maintain on your side

Frequently asked questions

How does the cost-plus model work?

You negotiate salaries directly with the team and pay those salaries plus a fixed management fee. Every cost is broken out line by line — no blended rate hiding the margin.

What is included in the management fee?

Recruitment and onboarding, payroll and taxes, office rent, utilities, cleaning and security, an equipped workplace, accounting, HR and recruiter time, internet with backup, and team perks including loyalty, medical and birthday bonuses.

Why is a Moldova-based team more cost-efficient?

FusionWorks is a Moldova IT Park resident, which carries a 7% all-inclusive revenue tax in place of the usual payroll and profit taxes. That structure is what keeps the fully loaded cost of a team roughly 30% below Western European equivalents.

Who owns the relationship with the engineers?

You do, day to day — you set direction, workload and culture. FusionWorks stays responsible for employment, compliance, operations and the engineering process the team works inside: quality gates, pipelines, AI tooling and grading.

Do the off-hours AI pipelines cost extra?

No. Nights and weekends the same pipelines keep running review, refactoring and compliance work on your codebase, and the management fee does not change.

What is the minimum team size and commitment?

There is no minimum on either. Start with one engineer and grow when the workload justifies it, with no minimum commitment period. At very small sizes staff augmentation is often simpler, since it bills as a single rate instead of salary plus management fee.
