OFFSHORE DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Your own engineering team in Dhaka. Your roadmap, your repositories, your IP.

An offshore development center is a dedicated team that works only for you, a permanent extension of your engineering department rather than a vendor taking tickets. Nexvix recruits, employs and houses it in Bangladesh; you set the standards and the roadmap.

An offshore development center (ODC) is a dedicated engineering team in another country that works exclusively for one client, as a permanent extension of that client’s own department. You own the roadmap, the architecture decisions, the code review standard and the hiring bar. Nexvix owns recruitment, employment, payroll, equipment, the office and the HR risk.

The distinction that matters commercially: an ODC is capacity, not a deliverable. You are not buying a project that ends in a handover: you are adding named engineers who stay on your product long enough to know why a decision was made two years ago. That continuity is the entire argument for the model, and it is why it suits ongoing product and SaaS engineering rather than one-off scopes.

You direct the work. We carry the employment.

What it is not: a ticket queue, a body shop billing by the hour, or an agency that rotates whoever is free onto your account this month. If a supplier cannot tell you the names of the engineers who will be on your standup next Monday, they are not offering you an ODC.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Compare loaded cost, not salary.

The usual mistake is comparing a US base salary against an offshore rate. The honest comparison is against your fully loaded cost per engineer: benefits, payroll taxes, recruitment fees, desk, equipment, software and the management overhead of hiring.

Nexvix quotes one monthly rate per seat that already includes employment, payroll, equipment, office and management. We do not publish a figure here because it depends on role and seniority: ask on the consultation and you will get the number in writing, alongside the loaded-cost comparison for your own market.

OPERATING MODEL

A dedicated extension, not a vendor relationship.

Three things sit on your side of the line, three on ours, and the split does not move once the engagement starts.

01Direct

Your roadmap, your standards

Backlog, priorities, architecture decisions, definition of done and code review standard. The team works in your repositories, your ticket system and your sprint cadence.

Owned by your leads
02Staff

Recruit, employ, retain

Nexvix sources candidates against your bar, you interview the finalists, and we handle employment, payroll, equipment, the office and retention.

Owned by Nexvix
03Overlap

Shift, ceremonies, communication

A written overlap window with your working day, attendance at your standup and retro, and a named engineering manager on our side accountable for delivery hygiene.

Owned by both
OPERATING MODEL
WHO YOU CAN HIRE

Engineers who have shipped the work, not generalists learning it.

Nexvix builds AI systems as its primary business. That is the difference between an ODC staffed from our own practice and one staffed from a CV database.

Product

SaaS and platform engineers

Multi-tenancy, billing and subscription logic, role and permission models, onboarding flows, API design and the migration path as the product grows.

CoreMost requested role
Applied AI

AI and ML engineers

Conversational and voice agents, retrieval pipelines over your own documents, local and open-weight LLM fine-tuning, evaluation sets and intelligent workflow automation.

SpecialistOur own practice area
Full stack

Web application engineers

Customer portals, operator interfaces, admin systems and LMS platforms: the interface layer your team and your customers actually work in.

CoreAvailable at every level
Quality

QA automation

Test strategy, automated regression suites and release confidence, so velocity does not come out of stability.

Platform

DevOps and cloud

CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability and cost control, in cloud accounts billed to you.

Design

Product designers

Interface and interaction design against your design system, or ours if you do not have one yet.

CUSTOM PODS

You are not picking from three packages.

A pod is composed for the work in front of you: the roles, the seniority mix and the shape of the overlap. The compositions below are examples of how pods are commonly shaped, not a price list: tell us the roadmap and we will propose the composition, then you change it.

Discuss a pod
Starting point

Pilot pod

Two engineers and a fractional lead, for one quarter. The honest first step for a first offshore engagement: it proves the overlap, the code quality and the written-communication habit before anyone commits to a larger team.

2–3 seatsMost first engagements
Ongoing roadmap

Product pod

Full-stack engineers, a QA automation engineer and a designer, working your backlog sprint by sprint. The composition for a SaaS product with a roadmap longer than the team you can hire locally.

4–8 seatsContinuous delivery
Applied AI

AI pod

AI and ML engineers with a platform engineer, for retrieval pipelines, agents, fine-tuning and evaluation. Staffed from the practice Nexvix runs daily rather than from a CV database.

3–6 seatsSpecialist
Mixed

Or a composition of your own

Most pods are none of the above exactly. Bring the roadmap and the gap; we propose the roles, the seniority and the shift, and you adjust it before anyone is hired.

Changeable

Composition is not fixed

Swap a role, add a seat or drop one on 30 days’ notice as the roadmap changes. A pod that cannot be recomposed is a contract, not a team.

No charge

Scoping a pod is free

The consultation, the role profiles and the loaded-cost comparison cost nothing and carry no obligation. You keep the written proposal whether or not you hire.

NO SHORTER MENU

A pod can build anything on this site.

An ODC is a staffing model, not a separate catalogue. Every solution Nexvix offers can be delivered either way: commissioned as a fixed-scope build, or staffed as a pod your own leads direct.

Both ways, compared

Not a different scope

The engineers are the same people, the standards are the same, and the code lands in your repositories either way. What changes is who runs the roadmap: our scope document, or your sprint planning.

WHY BANGLADESH

A large, young engineering pool, and an honest account of the trade-offs.

Every offshore location has a catch. Naming ours is more useful than a page of advantages.

01

Depth of supply, still growing

Bangladesh graduates a large and rising number of computer science and engineering students each year, and the domestic market does not absorb all of them, which is why senior talent is reachable at a rate the US cannot match.

Advantage
02

Applied AI, not just coding capacity

The work Nexvix does daily is conversational AI, retrieval, fine-tuning and automation. An ODC staffed from that practice starts with the specialism rather than acquiring it on your product.

Advantage
03

Reinvest the difference, do not just bank it

Clients who succeed with this model put the saving back into headcount or market expansion. Treating it purely as a cost cut tends to produce a smaller team and the same roadmap.

Advice
04

The timezone is real work, not a footnote

GMT+6 means a deliberate shift to overlap with US hours. We staff for it and write the window into the engagement, but anyone telling you the timezone is a non-issue has not run one.

Trade-off
05

Written communication has to be the default

Decisions made verbally in a US office do not reach Dhaka. Teams that write things down succeed with an ODC; teams that rely on hallway context struggle, wherever the engineers sit.

Trade-off
GETTING STARTED

Two engineers, one quarter, then decide.

We would rather prove the model at two seats than sell you eight and hope. A pilot tests the three things that actually fail: overlap, code quality and communication.

01

Scoping consultation

Your roadmap, the gap you are staffing, the seniority mix and the overlap you need. You leave with a seat rate in writing and a loaded-cost comparison for your own market.

02

Role profiles and the hiring bar

Written role definitions, the technical screen, and the standard a candidate has to clear. Agreed with you before sourcing starts.

QUESTIONS

What US buyers ask before the first call.

What is an offshore development center (ODC)?
An offshore development center is a dedicated engineering team in another country that works only for you, as a permanent extension of your own department, not a vendor taking tickets. You set the roadmap, the standards and the hiring bar; Nexvix runs recruitment, employment, payroll, equipment and the office in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Can we design our own pod, or do we pick a package?
You design it with us. Nexvix proposes a composition (roles, seniority mix and overlap window) against your roadmap, and you change it before anyone is hired. Pods can also be recomposed later on 30 days’ notice as priorities move.
Is the ODC consultation really free?
Yes. The consultation, the written role profiles and the loaded-cost comparison for your market are free of charge and carry no obligation, and you keep the written proposal whether or not you proceed.
How is an ODC different from outsourcing a project?
Outsourcing buys a deliverable and ends; an ODC buys capacity and continuity. The same named engineers stay on your product for years, accumulate domain knowledge, attend your standups and are managed by your leads, which is why an ODC suits ongoing product and SaaS engineering, while project outsourcing suits one-off scopes.
How much does an ODC in Bangladesh cost compared with hiring in the US?
A fully loaded US senior engineer (salary, benefits, payroll taxes, recruitment fee, desk and equipment) typically costs several times the equivalent fully loaded cost in Bangladesh. Nexvix quotes one monthly rate per seat that already includes employment, payroll, equipment, office and management, so the comparison is against your true loaded cost rather than base salary alone.
Will the team work in our timezone?
Yes. Bangladesh is GMT+6, and Nexvix staffs a deliberate overlap window with your working day: commonly a late shift for US Eastern and Central, and a near-complete overlap for UK and EU clients. The overlap hours are written into the engagement, not left to goodwill.
Who employs the engineers, and who manages them?
Nexvix employs them under Bangladeshi law and carries the employment risk, HR and payroll. Day to day they are managed by your engineering leads in your tools, your sprint cadence and your code review process.
Who owns the code and the intellectual property?
You do, from the first commit. Work is committed to your repositories in your organisation, IP assignment is contractual, and NDAs are signed individually by every engineer on the team.
Can we start with one or two engineers?
Yes, and most engagements should. A two-person pilot for one quarter proves the overlap, the code quality and the communication before you commit to a larger team.
What if an engineer is not working out?
You raise it and Nexvix replaces them, with the notice period and replacement window stated in the agreement. You never have to manage a performance exit under a foreign employment law you did not sign up to learn.
What makes Nexvix different from a generic staffing firm?
Nexvix builds AI systems as its primary business (conversational and voice agents, retrieval pipelines, local LLM fine-tuning and intelligent workflow automation) so an ODC here can be staffed with engineers who have shipped that work, not generalists learning it on your product.
Which countries do you work with?
Primarily the United States, and also the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the EU. The commercial and overlap structure is the same; only the shift window changes.
ODC CONSULTATION

Free, forty-five minutes, and you leave with a seat rate in writing.

It costs nothing and there is no obligation. Bring the roadmap you cannot staff and the seniority mix you think you need, or none, and we will propose the pod. You get the monthly rate per seat, the loaded-cost comparison against your own market, and a straight answer on whether a two-person pilot is the right first step.
