Nearshore
Development Teams

Scalable development capacity with senior AI expertise, starting from day one

Our dedicated, EU-based nearshore teams will work alongside your existing development organization. They bring senior technical leadership, enterprise-level security, and AI expertise that you won’t have to spend months building up.
The Real Problem

Having the right capacity and expertise speeds up implementation

Most development projects don’t fall behind schedule because of a lack of capacity. They fall behind because there isn’t enough senior expertise in architecture, prioritization, and the proper use of AI. Building this capability within your own team takes months. And covering a temporary development need with a permanent staff often results in an unfavorable cost structure and a long-term organizational burden.

There is not enough senior decision-making capacity

The developers are working on it, but there is no one to make informed decisions about the architecture, the applicability of AI, and technical trade-offs.

Recruitment is too slow

Finding, hiring, and retaining the right senior and AI talent requires many months and significant internal resources.

The fixed headcount does not follow the project

The developers are working on it, but there is no one to make informed decisions about the architecture, the applicability of AI, and technical trade-offs.

The key person risk is too high

If knowledge of the system is concentrated in just one or two people, a single departure or prolonged absence could jeopardize the entire roadmap.
A good nearshore model doesn't just provide more people. It builds development capabilities that are quickly accessible and flexibly scalable alongside the existing organization.

Operating Model

A well-structured operational model turns the external team into a true force for development

Based on our experience with hundreds of projects, seven criteria determine whether an external team will be a true asset. We work together to establish the first four, and we take on the last three ourselves.

What We Must Create Together

An internal decision-maker
A designated product owner or technical lead who sets priorities, responds to inquiries, and has decision-making authority.
Measurable Goal
Not a general list of tasks, but a business or technical outcome to which the delivery is measurably linked.
Access During the First Week
Repo, ticketing, test environment, and documentation. This is one of the most important factors in the speed of integration.
A Shared Process
The same board, the same definition of done, the same code review, and the same quality requirements.

What Gloster Brings to the Table

Senior Professional Responsibility
There is always someone on the team who makes decisions at the architectural level and takes on professional responsibility for delivery.
Knowledge Transfer, Not Dependence
We continuously document and provide feedback on system knowledge, decisions, and operational expertise.
Short feedback loop
Weekly demos, two-week sprints, and regular technical reviews. Problems don't become apparent months later.

Seniority and AI Governance

Seniority is demonstrated by the level of responsibility assumed and the results achieved

A senior colleague makes independent decisions regarding architecture, sets engineering standards, and takes responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. In the age of AI, this also includes knowing when AI is helpful and when it poses a risk.
Senior
Project Responsibility
Architecture decisions, delivery accountability, technical liaison with the client, engineering standards, and mentoring.
AI Competence
Designing RAG and LLM integration, evaluation and hallucination management, reviewing AI-generated code, and data protection and governance responsibilities.
Medior
Project Responsibility
Independently completing well-defined tasks, making architectural decisions with a senior team member, and reviewing the work of junior team members.
AI Competence
Daily work with AI tools, identifying common errors in AI-generated code, and independently integrating existing AI components.
Junior
Project Responsibility
Well-defined tasks performed under supervision, with mandatory reviews.
AI Competence
Use of AI tools is subject to team guidelines. All AI-generated code undergoes a senior or mid-level review.

Who It's For—and When It's Not

The Right Collaboration Model for Every Situation

It's a good fit if...
For medium-sized or large companies, the pace of development already has a direct impact on competitiveness;
the roadmap is in place, but the necessary senior or AI expertise is not available;
you want to strengthen the internal team, not outsource all control;
the developmental need has existed for at least 6 months;
There is a designated internal decision-maker, and the access required to get started can be provided.
We don't recommend this if...
the task isn't complex enough;
there is no internal product owner or technical decision-maker;
It is expected that it will take months to issue the access permits;
the only criterion for making a decision is the lowest hourly rate;
The job requires daily, continuous physical presence;
For regulatory reasons, the system or the knowledge may not be shared with any third party at all.
If none of the above exclusion criteria apply, the nearshore model is very likely one of the fastest to implement and most scalable development solutions for your organization.

Who It's For—and When It's Not

All the key answers regarding procurement, operations, and security

Why at least 6 months?
Onboarding typically takes 2–4 weeks, and the full delivery pace is established starting in the second month. In shorter-term collaborations, the investment in a dedicated team model rarely pays off. For short, well-defined tasks, we recommend a fixed-scope project or expert support.
Why is 3 people the recommended minimum?
With only three people, code reviews are limited; if one person takes a vacation or leaves, the risk is disproportionately high, and knowledge can easily become concentrated in a single person. With more than three people, the team becomes more independent and resilient.
Where do developers work?
From our offices in Hungary, in the same or a nearby time zone. The model is based on remote, closely integrated collaboration, with on-site presence as needed.
What happens to our data?
We work with a team that is up to 100% EU-based, using EU data processing, and in compliance with ISO 27001 and TISAX. If necessary, we will sign an NDA before the first detailed consultation.
How do you handle AI-generated code?
All code generated by AI tools undergoes human review. A senior colleague is responsible for architectural decisions, security considerations, and addressing common AI errors. AI speeds up the work, but it does not assume responsibility.
What happens if we're not satisfied with a developer?
We handle team member replacements according to a predefined process. The goal is to ensure that the replacement occurs with as little loss of knowledge and as few disruptions to operations as possible.
Can we have a say in who makes the team?
Yes. We will finalize the team composition together, and we will introduce the key members before making a decision.
What happens at the end of the project?
The closure process involves a documented knowledge transfer, the handover of the completed documentation, and a predefined exit process. The goal is not to create dependency.
Can you take on projects with a fixed price?
Yes. We choose from among dedicated teams, fixed-scope projects, and hybrid structures. We make recommendations on the appropriate model based on the clarity of the scope, the level of risk, and the expected degree of change.
