Intcel gives you senior engineers, AI specialists and product designers who work inside your team. Your code, your tools, your way of working. Most teams are shipping real work in about three weeks.
45-MINUTE CALL WITH A SENIOR ENGINEERNO RECRUITMENT FEENO CHARGE FOR ONBOARDINGCHANGE TEAM SIZE WITH 30 DAYS NOTICE
The replacement
It is the part of your engineering team you did not have to hire.
Same code repository. Same board. Same on-call rota. Named engineers you interview yourself, who take responsibility for part of your roadmap and report the same numbers you expect from your own teams.
Here is the simple test. By the second month, your engineers stop noticing who works for you and who works for us during code review.
A 45-minute call, then a technical look at what you already have. We tell you what kind of team the problem really needs — including when the honest answer is that you do not need one.
The team joins your company and becomes part of it. Access, environments, clear ownership, and one real change in production — so we prove the connection works before your roadmap depends on it.
A weekly rhythm against your board. You can see how much we ship, how long it takes and how many bugs escape — the same numbers we use internally to judge the team.
The team size follows your roadmap, not our sales targets. Grow it, split it, or wind it down — either way, the knowledge stays in your repository.
Whichever one you choose, the way we work does not change: named senior people, your process, decisions written down, and delivery numbers you can see. Only the shape of the team is different.
You get a complete team that works on your roadmap and nothing else. It comes with its own tech lead, joins your on-call rota, and reports how much it ships every week so you can see the progress yourself.
3 weeks
Choose this ifYou have more work planned than people to build it, and you cannot wait nine months to hire.
An engineer who closes twelve tickets but moves no business number has done nothing useful. Every Intcel team is told which business result it exists to improve, and reports against that result.
You do not pay for us to settle in. Access, environment and one small real change go live within the first five working days. It is the fastest way to find out what the brief left out.
Our engineers have about eight and a half years of production experience. We do not put junior engineers on client work to increase our margin. When we train someone, we do it on our own time.
We will share our opinion once. After that we use your board, your branching model and your definition of done. Running two processes in one project is a cost your team pays, not us.
Decisions live in your code repository as short written records, not in a call nobody recorded. When the project ends, the reasoning stays with the code.
We measure every team partly on what your own engineers can do after we leave. Locking clients in is a business model, not a standard. It is not ours.
The client measured every number below, in their own system, against a starting point recorded before we began. Names are used with permission.
SCROLL THE RAIL →
Ask for referencesEvery number has to be explainable to an auditor.
Ledgers, settlement, payment rails, and the checking work nobody wants to demo. We build the audit trail first and the feature second, because that order costs less in the end.
PCI-DSS environments, event-based ledgers, side-by-side migrations
This is what our engineers have actually shipped to production, not what we have read about. If your technology is not on this list, tell us on the call. Sometimes we know the right person for it. Sometimes the honest answer is that we are not the right company for the job.
“I have hired engineers from a dozen firms. Intcel is the only one where I stopped being able to tell, during code review, who worked for us and who worked for them.”

In week two they told us our plan was wrong, and showed us the data. It cost them work and saved us about four months.
The handover told me everything. Every technical decision had a document, and my own engineers could explain the system without calling anyone.
We asked for two engineers. They said we needed one engineer and a designer. They were right, and being right earned them less money.
You pay monthly, per role. Nothing extra for recruitment, onboarding or account management. You get a written cost breakdown before you commit to anything.
Senior engineers who join the teams you already run. You interview them, you direct their work, and we stand behind them.
A complete team with its own lead. It owns one part of your roadmap and reports the same delivery numbers you expect from your own teams.
Fixed scope, fixed milestones, one person accountable for delivery. For work with a date attached and someone waiting for it.
WE PRICE BY ROLE AND EXPERIENCE LEVEL, SO WE DO NOT PUBLISH A PRICE RANGE. ASK ON THE CALL AND YOU WILL HAVE THE NUMBERS IN WRITING WITHIN TWO DAYS.

The senior people who plan your project
are the same ones who review it every month.
If your question is not here, that is probably the one worth spending the call on. Ask us directly.
Most teams accept that the first month of a project is wasted. Most of that month can be saved — and what is left tells you something important.
The difference between an AI demo and an AI product is not the model. It is whether anyone can tell when the answers get worse.
When an outside team brings its own way of working, someone has to translate between the two. It is never the outside team.
You will speak to a senior engineer, not an account manager. We will ask what your team actually shipped in the last six months, and where the real bottleneck is.
About one call in six ends with us saying the problem is not a lack of people. It is unclear scope or unclear ownership, and hiring anyone, including us, would make it worse.
We would rather be the company that told you
