The Dedicated Team Model: Hiring Remote Game Developers & Programmers

Introduction: Beyond Outsourcing – Talent as a Service

In the fast-paced, high-stakes environment of game development, the single greatest bottleneck to scale is not capital or vision—it is access to elite, specialized engineering talent. The demand for senior-level Unity3D Game Development programmers, experienced Unreal C++ engineers, and Remote Game Developers who understand the full stack has far outpaced the traditional hiring market. This has forced studios into a difficult position: pause development while you spend 6 months recruiting, or risk handing your project to a traditional game outsourcing studio that uses a “black box” model, sacrificing your control, communication, and code quality.

Our firm provides a superior, modern solution: Talent as a Service (TaaS). We are not a traditional game outsourcing “project house.” We are a premier provider of elite, pre-vetted, and security-cleared game programmers, offered to you via our two signature models: Staff Augmentation and Dedicated Game Teams. This service is designed for studios that want the cost-effectiveness and scalability of outsourcing without sacrificing the quality, transparency, and integration of an in-house team. This document details our service offerings, our deep talent pool, and our transparent pricing packages for hiring Game Programmers.

The “Dedicated Team” Philosophy: Your Team, Your Pipeline

Our model is built on one simple premise: the best work comes from direct collaboration. Unlike “project” outsourcing, we do not take your requirements and disappear for two months. Instead, we provide you with one or more full-time, dedicated developers who are 100% yours.

• Full Integration: Our developers are added directly to your Slack, your Jira, your daily stand-ups, and your source control (Git/Perforce). They work the same hours your team does. They are, for all intents and purposes, your employee.

• Direct Management: You (or your lead developer/producer) manage them directly. You assign their tasks, you review their code, and you guide their work. This eliminates the “telephone game” of communicating through a middle-manager.

• Total Transparency: You see their commits in real-time. You have 100% visibility into their work, their progress, and their quality. The code they write is committed directly to your repository, following your coding standards.

• IP Security: All developers are bound by our iron-clad NDAs and “Work for Hire” agreements. All Intellectual Property is 100% yours, created on our secure, managed hardware that is firewalled and monitored.

Our Talent Pool & Specializations

We are one of the top game development outsourcing companies because our “product” is our talent. We have a <5% acceptance rate for our engineers, all of whom pass a rigorous 5-stage vetting process (soft-skills, technical interview, live-code challenge, and security screening). Our talent pool has deep, specialized expertise in:

• Engine Programming: Unity3D Game Development (C#), Unreal Game Development (C++).

• Platform Development: PC Game Development (Steam/Epic), Console Game Development (PS5, Xbox, Switch), and Mobile Game Development (iOS/Android).

• Gameplay Systems: AI, Physics, Combat, Core Loops, and RPG Game Development mechanics.

• Advanced Engineering: Multiplayer/Networking, Backend Services, Optimization, and specialized Web3 Game Development (Blockchain/NFT integration).

Engagement Models & Price Packages

We offer transparent, flexible pricing packages designed to match your specific hiring needs. All packages are billed as a flat monthly rate per developer, which is all-inclusive of salary, benefits, taxes, hardware, software licenses, and our management overhead.

  • Price: $13,000 – $18,000+ USD / month (per developer, based on specialty)

Model 2: Dedicated Game Teams (Managed Pods)

This model is a “turn-key” solution. We provide a pre-packaged, multi-disciplinary, and fully-managed “pod” of developers to own an entire feature, vertical, or even a full co-development project. The pod is managed by our internal Lead, who reports directly to you.

• Package A: The “Feature Strike Team”

  • Best For: Building a complete, complex gameplay vertical (e.g., “The entire Inventory, Crafting, and Quest System”).
