Frequently asked questions

HOW WE WORK,
ANSWERED.

What Team as a Service means, who owns the code, how we handle GDPR, and where our engineers are. If your question is not here, just ask.

What we do

What is Team as a Service?

Team as a Service means we build a dedicated development team around your product: engineers who work exclusively for your organisation, integrate into your way of working and stay with you for the long term. You get the momentum of a full team without building one from scratch. Teams typically start small and grow with your roadmap.

What is the difference between Team as a Service and hiring individual specialists?

With Specialised Expertise, an experienced specialist integrates directly into your existing team to strengthen it. With Team as a Service, we build and run a complete dedicated team for you. Many partnerships start with one and grow into the other.

What are Turn-key Projects?

For clearly defined outcomes, we take ownership of the entire delivery: from analysis to a working result. You define the destination; we take responsibility for getting there.

Common questions

Is Jobbex.IT a nearshore provider?

People often use that word for what we do, and if you found us by searching for it: welcome. We look at it differently. We build dedicated European teams in Lisbon that become part of your organisation: same working day, one hour of time difference, and engineers who stay. Not a remote vendor, but an extension of your own team.

Can Jobbex.IT provide extra development capacity for our team?

If your roadmap is moving faster than your team can, yes: that is exactly the situation most of our partnerships start in. We respond with people rather than numbers: dedicated engineers or a full team who learn your product, take ownership and stay. What starts as reinforcement typically grows into a long-term team.

Is Jobbex.IT a recruitment or staffing agency?

No. Jobbex.IT is a European technology partner. Our engineers are Jobbex.IT colleagues who work in dedicated teams for our clients; we deliver working software and long-term partnerships, not placements.

Can I hire a single developer or IT specialist, even on an hourly basis?

Yes. Through Specialised Expertise, an experienced engineer integrates directly into your team, for as long as you need. We keep the commercial side simple and transparent; the focus stays on what the specialist helps you build, and many of these engagements grow into long-term collaboration.

Do you offer IT outsourcing or staff augmentation?

If those are the words you are searching with, you are in the right place. We deliver what people mean by them: engineers and full teams that strengthen your organisation, but built as a partnership. Our people learn your product, work exclusively for you and stay, and everything they build is yours.

Why Portugal?

Portugal is one of Europe's strongest engineering regions: a deep pool of experienced, English-speaking engineers in Lisbon, Porto and beyond, inside the EU and one hour from the Netherlands. Combined with our roots in the Brainport Eindhoven Region, it lets us build teams that are European by design. Where a project calls for it, we add talent elsewhere in Europe.

Where are your engineers based?

Primarily in Portugal, across Lisbon, Porto and other cities, with some team members in Spain and, where a project calls for it, elsewhere in Europe. It is one connected team in a shared time zone, working day to day as an extension of yours. On-site collaboration is part of the rhythm when it helps the partnership.

Practical

How quickly can a team start?

The first engineers can typically join within weeks. Most teams start with two engineers and grow step by step as the collaboration proves itself; several of our partnerships have grown from a pilot to multiple dedicated teams.

Who owns the intellectual property?

You do. Everything our teams build for you is yours: full IP ownership sits with the client, always.

How do you handle GDPR and European regulations?

All our teams are EU-based and delivery is GDPR-compliant by design. Your data, your code and your people stay within the European legal framework.

What about time zones and language?

Your team works in the same European time-zone band as you do, so you share the working day. The working language is English.

Can the team scale up or down?

Yes. Teams grow with your roadmap: start with two engineers, scale to twelve and beyond. Scaling down is part of the same honest conversation; you are never locked into a size.

How does pricing work?

Transparently, agreed per engagement and per delivery model, with no hidden margins or surprises. What it costs depends on what you are building, so the best next step is simply to get in touch: tell us what you have in mind and a real person will come back to you within one business day.

Which technologies do you cover?

Our consultants work across six disciplines: Software Development, Infrastructure & Networking, Cybersecurity, Data & Analytics, Functional Analysis & Testing, and Project & Delivery Management.

Do teams ever work on-site?

Yes. Collaboration has a rhythm of regular on-site sessions: product owners and architects visit the teams, and engineers travel where it helps the partnership. Distance is a detail; the team is one.

International

Do you work with companies outside the Benelux, like Germany, the Nordics or the US?

Yes. We work with organisations across Europe and beyond. Our working language is English, our teams sit in one European time zone band, and European by design means you always know what you get: EU-based delivery, GDPR compliance and full ownership of everything we build. Distance has never been the point; the partnership is.
