Engagement models

Start small. Grow into your own hub.

Mix the models as you need. One partner, one monthly invoice, one monthly review.

How you can work with us

NeuralShore offers four engagement models: staff augmentation priced hourly, dedicated pods of about seven people priced per month, managed services priced by scope and SLA, and Build-Operate-Transfer hubs with an option to own the team, typically over 36 months.

The pod

A stable team with its own lead.

Every pod has the same deliberate shape, so no project depends on one person.

1 Tech lead owns delivery and talks to your team every day.

2 Senior engineers carry the hardest design and build work.

2–3 Data and AI engineers build pipelines, models and dashboards.

1–2 Junior engineers learn on the job and keep the cost down.

Shared from the hub: solution architects, QA and business analysts, plus a hub leader who runs people and quality.

How we build talent

Our talent pipeline works like a lakehouse.

Raw potential comes in, gets refined, and only delivery-ready engineers reach your project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can a pod start?

Timing depends on the roles and skills you need. Because our engineers come from a ready, Databricks-trained pool, pods usually form much faster than a normal hiring cycle. We agree a start date in the scoping call.

How do you price Databricks pods?

Dedicated pods have a fixed monthly fee. Staff augmentation uses an hourly rate card, and managed services are priced by scope and SLA.

Can we own the team later?

Yes. Our Build-Operate-Transfer model lets you take over the hub, co-own it, or keep us operating it.
