We build custom AI systems that deliver measurable ROI for established companies. Production-grade solutions built by engineers who've shipped 150+ AI projects. Purpose-built systems around your data, your workflows, and your team.

Every engagement includes an engineer, a project manager, and a quality engineer. You get delivery management built in, not just coding hours.
Adjust team size as your needs change. No healthcare costs, no benefits, no layoffs. Expand when you are growing, compress when you need breathing room.
If you hire a single engineer, you have to manage them, create tasks, and verify they are delivering. That is a lot of work, and we know this first hand. Every staff augmentation package includes three or four teammates working together so you do not have to manage the process yourself. Weekly allocation: 8h Engineer, 2h PM, 2h QE, 45 min Account Manager. We are still less than the lowest American agencies that charge $140 per hour.
Your dedicated developer writes production code, participates in your standups, and works inside your existing systems. Matched to your stack, whether that is Python, React, Node.js, mobile, or something else. All our developers have been with NineTwoThree for over a year, and some for six years.
Responsible for estimating and delivering the project on time and on budget. Maintains the delivery boards, assigns tasks to the developer, and signs off on completion internally. Leads periodic client calls and keeps external and internal stakeholders informed about progress and challenges. Can also work inside your project board.
Tests every feature before it reaches you. Catches bugs, verifies edge cases, and ensures the code meets the requirements on the first pass so you get expected results without rework cycles.

Know exactly where the project stands each week. You can monitor our project management boards directly. We hold periodic calls, define agendas, and keep you informed about progress and challenges.
A NineTwoThree retained team costs $1,200 per day (PM, Engineer, QE and expert advice included). A full-time hire costs $1,213 per day once you factor in salary, healthcare, FICA, 401k match, and equipment. You get a full team for less than the cost of one developer.
Our team adjusts to EST so all projects run the same cadence regardless of where the team resides. Core working hours sit between 8am and 3pm EST to support clients from California to Italy.
Our process starts with connecting you to our leaders, who have built over 150 projects. If aligned, the second call includes our product managers and engineers to scope the work.
Product managers and engineers review your requirements, identify the right team composition, and present a proposal with timeline and cost. No back-and-forth negotiation cycles.
We assemble your dedicated team (engineer, PM, QE, and account manager) and begin delivery within two weeks of signing. The team integrates into your existing tools and workflows.
Weekly demos, transparent boards, and periodic check-ins. Scale the team up or down as your needs change. Your account manager handles all adjustments so you can focus on the product.
Teams that rely on our retained team services
Staff augmentation is a cooperation model where an external agency's team integrates with your existing team to provide expertise you may not have in house. It is common in the IT industry for app development, machine learning, and cloud projects. The external team works alongside your team to accelerate delivery without the time and cost of hiring full-time employees. Learn more about how staff augmentation works.
Yes. All of our product managers are based in the US and Certified. We only hire the best experts to support our clients.
Treat the augmented team as part of your team, not as an external vendor. Share your business goals, product context, and success metrics. Assign a point of contact on your side who can make decisions quickly. Use shared project management tools so everyone has visibility into progress. Choose a partner that provides project management and quality engineering alongside development, not just raw coding hours.
Choose staff augmentation when you need to deliver software fast and hiring is too slow. Common scenarios include building a new product without internal resources approved, needing specialized expertise (AI, ML, cloud) for a specific project, meeting a deadline that requires more capacity than your team can provide, or testing a new technology before committing to a full-time hire. See our staff augmentation startup launch checklist for a detailed guide.
The main types are: dedicated team (a full team assigned to your project for an extended period), project-based (team scoped to a specific deliverable), and skill-based (individual specialists added to fill a specific gap). NineTwoThree provides the dedicated team model with project management and quality engineering included.
Our retained team services start at $1,200 per day for a full team (engineer, project manager, quality engineer, and account manager). We can start within two weeks of signing. Contact us for a custom proposal based on your project scope and timeline.
