- Dedicated Engineering Teams
- Managed or Build-Operate-Transfer
- In-region delivery, worldwide
Your offshore operation.Built, run, and yours.
We build and run high-performing engineering teams in-region, working as an extension of your in-house org — a managed operation you can take ownership of when you're ready, not a vendor you have to manage.
We run it for you — or build, run, and transfer it when it's proven.
“They ship like our in-house team — not a vendor we manage.”

Success StoryHiring isn't the hard part. Building the operation is.
Every engineering leader scaling past local capacity reaches the same fork: hire slower and pay more at home, or build somewhere new. Most choose “build somewhere new” — and discover the hard part was never finding engineers. It's everything around them. The talent exists. What's missing is the operation to find it, hold it, and make it deliver.
Engineering“Roadmap dates slip because senior reqs sit open for months, and we can’t hire our way out of it locally.”
Finance“Every senior hire at home costs more than the last one, and the budget doesn’t flex with the roadmap.”
Operations“We tried offshore once. We ended up with a vendor team, not an engineering team — and it never shipped like in-house.”
The part everyone plans for
Hiring senior engineers
- Entity & setupA legal entity, banking, and secure workspace in a region you’ve never operated in.
- RecruitmentClosing senior engineers at speed in a market whose signals and salary bands you don’t read natively.
- HR, payroll & complianceLocal employment law and statutory payroll — the part that quietly consumes leadership attention.
- IntegrationMaking the team a true extension of your org, not a silo on the other side of a time zone.
- Retention & performanceKeeping the engineers worth keeping, and growing people you don’t sit beside.
- GovernanceReal visibility, reporting, and control over an operation you don’t physically sit inside.
It's not a hiring problem. It's an operations problem.
We build and run it. You decide who owns it.
Crozaint stands up a complete engineering operation in-region — entity, recruitment, workspace, payroll, governance — and runs it as a seamless extension of your team. You choose the model: we operate it for you, or we build it, run it, and transfer it to you once it’s proven. Either way, you skip the two-year detour of building it yourself.
Most offshore vendors give you a team. We give you an operation — and the option to own it.
You end up owning the centre outright — entity, team, and processes transferred intact, without the standing-start risk.
The team you get — and how
A dedicated pod that works as part of your org and reports into your engineering leadership — recruited to your bar, because you interview and approve every hire.

Start with the thinking.
Before you commit to an operation, our engineering leaders help you decide what to build and how — guidance from practitioners who have built, run, and scaled engineering organisations, not theorists.
Advisory
Architecture and technical reviews, fractional engineering leadership, expert sessions, monthly retainers. For when you want senior judgement on tap.
Transformation programme
A scoped engagement where we own an outcome: define the operating model, modernise the practice, or prepare the org to scale.

Senior judgement on tap — practitioners who’ve run engineering orgs, not theorists.
An extension of your team. Engineered that way from day one.
The difference between an offshore team that works and one that doesn’t isn’t the engineers — it’s the operating model around them. We build every centre on three things: a foundation set up right, an integration model that makes the team genuinely yours, and a way of running it that stays accountable long after launch.
Set up right, before anyone writes code.
The unglamorous foundation most attempts underestimate. We stand it up so you don’t learn it the hard way.
- Legal entity, banking, and secure workspace established in-region
- Recruitment run by people who read the local market — sourcing, screening, and closing senior engineers at speed
- HR, payroll, and statutory compliance handled end to end
- Security and infrastructure built to your standards from day one
- Legal entity & bankingLive
- Secure workspace & devicesReady
- HR, payroll & local complianceAligned
- Security to your standardsConfigured
Your team in another time zone — not a vendor on the other end of one.
This is where most offshore arrangements quietly fail. We engineer integration in, rather than hoping it happens.
- Engineers work inside your sprints, standups, and code review — your backlog, not a separate one
- Your tools, your repositories, your standards, your definition of done
- Time-zone overlap windows designed into the team, not left to chance
- Reporting lines into your engineering leadership — not routed through an account manager
- Onboarded to your domain and product, not just handed a task list
Real synchronous time, every day — standups, reviews, and decisions, not a daily handoff.
Accountable long after launch.
An operation is a living thing. We run it as one — measured, governed, and yours to hold to account.
- Performance management and career growth, run locally with your input
- Retention treated as an operating metric, not an afterthought
- Governance, reporting, and SLAs you can hold us to
- One point of accountability for the whole operation
One accountable owner — Arjun Shetty, your delivery leadA running operation — or a centre that’s yours to keep.
You don’t walk away from this with a signed contract and a team of strangers. You walk away with capability — an engineering operation that delivers, and that you either never have to run, or eventually own outright. Which one depends on the door you chose.
If you chose Managed Operation
A fully-staffed engineering operation delivering against your roadmap, run entirely by us.
- Your roadmap moves at the pace you set, not the pace local hiring allows
- You scale capacity up or down without re-learning a new market each time
- The overhead — entity, payroll, compliance, HR — is never your problem
- Senior engineers stay, grow, and work as part of your team
- One accountable partner, with SLAs you hold us to
If you chose Build-Operate-Transfer
Everything above — and then a captive centre that becomes yours.
Team retained — they stay yours.- A captive engineering centre under your ownership and control
- Entity, team, processes, and governance transferred intact
- Leadership transitioned and knowledge transferred — not a cold handover
- A centre that keeps shipping through the transition, not one that stalls at handover
A defined path. Not a standing start.
Standing up an engineering operation in a new region is a large undertaking. The reason it doesn’t feel like one is that we’ve run this path before. Five steps take you from first call to a delivering team — and a sixth, if you chose Build-Operate-Transfer, hands it over.
- 01
Scope
A week or twoA discovery conversation maps the roles, disciplines, region, and model you need.
You leave with: A staffing and operating plan, and a committed timeline.
- 02
Stand up
We establish the legal entity, secure workspace, infrastructure, and compliance foundation in-region, and open the recruitment pipeline.
You leave with: The operation’s foundation, ready to hire into.
- 03
Hire & onboard
First hires in weeksWe source, screen, and close senior engineers, then onboard them to your domain, tools, and standards — not just a task list.
- 04
Integrate
The team embeds into your sprints, standups, and code review. Overlap windows, reporting lines, and governance go live.
You leave with: A team working as an extension of yours, not a silo.
- 05
Run
The operation delivers against your roadmap. We manage performance, retention, governance, and SLAs.
You leave with: An operation you can hold to account.
- 06
Transfer
Build-Operate-Transfer onlyAt the milestone agreed upfront, we transfer the entity, team, processes, and leadership to you — knowledge transfer built in, so the centre keeps shipping through the handover.
You leave with: A captive centre under your ownership.
The hard questions.Answered straight.
If you’re considering this seriously, you have reservations. Here are the ones we hear most — answered without spin.
Have a different question? Ask usYou control it. Engineers report into your engineering leadership, work your backlog, and follow your standards. We run the operation around them — entity, payroll, HR, governance — but the technical direction is yours. The model is built so the team is an extension of yours, not a supplier you brief and wait on.
