Build and evolve your product with a dedicated team that works as an extension of your organization.
Axon Active is a 100% Swiss-owned software development company building your dedicated software development team in Vietnam — 650+ engineers, 40+ long-term clients worldwide since 2009. Every engineer handpicked for your stack, not pulled from a bench, never rotated.
A dedicated software development team is a group of engineers hired, assembled, and managed by Axon Active to work full-time on your product. A typical squad has 5–8 people: a Squad Leader (also acting as AI Enablement Lead), Software Engineers, QAs, and a Product Owner if you need one — hired for one client, working on one backlog, and not rotated to anyone else.
Unlike project-based outsourcing, where a vendor delivers a fixed scope and walks away, your dedicated team becomes an extension of your company — engineers you know by name, who understand your business and treat your product as their own. You define the roadmap; we handle everything else: hiring, onboarding, HR, tooling, and delivery. 40+ companies worldwide have built their engineering capacity with us since 2009.

Offshore development has a reputation problem: time-zone gaps, rotating contractors, and misunderstandings you only discover at handoff. Our Axon Model™ is the delivery framework built to remove exactly these risks.
Your engineers work inside your delivery loop. They join your standups, present working software in every sprint review, and respond to your feedback in real time. You see measurable progress every sprint — not just status updates.
By reviewing, testing, and refining the product continuously, you stay in control of priorities and reduce delivery risk — offshore software development without the surprises.
Handpicked hiring in 6–8 weeks · first user stories shipping by week 10 · continuous delivery every sprint after.
Handpicked hiring based on your stack. IT and infrastructure setup in parallel.
Set up the development environment, walk through the product vision, run the first backlog refinement.
Shipping on a sprint cadence, with most squads at full velocity after a few sprints.
Yes, hiring takes time. When a vendor promises an immediate start, it’s fair to ask why skilled engineers are sitting idle on a bench. Most of our timeline goes into hiring, because we prioritize the right engineer over a fast start. Engineers selected for your stack and your domain get productive on your codebase quickly — and stay for the long haul.
Three forums at different levels keep your offshore software development team aligned with your business.
Squad Leader coaches the squad, keeps delivery on track, and collects feedback.
Removes impediments & drives cross-team coordination.
AI Coach on the leader team: AI-driven enablement, continuous improvement.
Defines priorities, scope & constraints — the roadmap stays yours.
Provides timely feedback & decisions each sprint.
Owns the product backlog and direction.
Executive Meta Scrum — strategy, priorities & team setup negotiated with you.
Head of Department on your account at no extra cost, working directly with your PO.
Monthly steering with senior management — direct access up to C-level.
Structural commitments that separate the Axon Model™ from typical offshore software development companies.
The team stays beyond first delivery. Domain knowledge compounds multi-year, not lost when contract ends. Same engineers maintain, evolve, and scale what they built — through audits, mergers, and platform migrations.
Engineers you know by name, committing full-time to your product and codebase as a team — not as individual contributors plugged in to fill capacity. They identify with the outcome and own the engineering, not just the assigned work. No bridge engineers translating priorities, no project managers re-planning your scope. Most offshore software development companies sell capacity; we give you a team that owns the outcome.
Every commit, every PR, every deploy visible in your repo. No opaque service tier, no managed-service abstraction. When something breaks, you see exactly where and why — not a sanitized post-incident report two weeks later.
Engineers leverage AI-assisted tools — GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code — across all services, under documented guardrails. Faster delivery, same quality, traceable accountability. See the guardrails.
Two engagement models, one core promise: long-term, 100% dedicated engineers, never rotated. The difference is structural — a complete squad built as your delivery team, or senior engineers embedded into the in-house team you already have.
A complete cross-functional squad — engineers, QAs, Squad Leader, and optional Product Owner — recruited and managed by Axon Active.
Senior engineers joining your in-house team long-term as full-time peers, integrated into your sprint ceremonies and code review rotation.
Your dedicated team doesn’t just grow in size — it grows in capability. Through our AI-augmented software development practice, AI augments engineers who already understand your codebase, product, and domain — turning accumulated context into compounding delivery gains. Every use case operates within defined autonomy levels, from Assisted to Autonomous, based on the complexity and risk of the work.
Long-tenured engineers bring the context; AI brings the speed and scale. Spec agents turn roadmap intent into actionable requirements and acceptance criteria. Engineers build against them, while Test and Monitoring agents close the loop. The result is a continuous feedback cycle where AI accelerates execution without losing the context, traceability, and human accountability behind every change that reaches production.
AI drafts user stories, identifies duplicates against the backlog, and proposes Gherkin-style acceptance criteria from a feature brief.
Product Owner + Squad Leader confirm scope and criteria before refinement closes.
AI reviews PRs for performance, correctness, and style before merge. Common antipatterns and security concerns flagged inline.
Senior engineer + repo CODEOWNER approve before merge — AI flags don’t auto-merge.
Tests generated from acceptance criteria and existing code patterns; engineer reviews coverage against critical paths before release.
Squad engineer validates coverage; release manager signs off before deployment.
AI drafts the PR description: change scope, side effects, and rollout risks. Reviewers start with full context instead of reading the diff cold.
Author confirms or amends the AI summary before requesting review.
AI clusters production errors, links related stack traces, and suggests likely root causes from prior incidents in the same codebase.
On-call engineer triages alerts; severity called by a human before stakeholder escalation.
AI monitors p95 latency, error rate, and dependency health. Patterns that precede outages surface early — before stakeholders notice.
Squad Leader confirms regression severity; rollback authority stays human.

Read full story →Working with the Rocket team over the past five years has been an outstanding experience. The team has played a key role in the digitization of credit processing for two banks. One has run in production for over five years. The other is now in implementation. Rocket stands out through its technical expertise, reliability, and exceptional adaptability. The experienced core team consistently delivers high quality, communicates effectively, and reacts quickly to new requirements, even under pressure. Over the last three years, the team modernized the platform. They moved it to a microservice architecture using Java, Kubernetes, and Nuxt. They also demonstrated strong expertise in integrating complex systems, especially core banking interfaces and adapters. Rocket has proven to be a highly skilled and trusted long-term technology partner.
Choosing a dedicated team partner is one of the most consequential engineering decisions you'll make. We share what we've learned across 17+ years and 80+ production squads — how to compare engagement models, evaluate vendors, navigate the dedicated-vs-staff-augmentation trade-off, and what an average year of delivery actually looks like
A dedicated software development team is a long-term squad of 5–8 people hired, managed, and retained by Axon Active to work full-time on one client’s product.
A typical squad combines a Squad Leader, software engineers, QAs, and an optional Product Owner — one backlog, never rotated.
You own everything, full stop. Every line of code, every design artifact, every piece of documentation produced during the engagement is yours under standard IP assignment terms. We retain no rights to your product, your data, or your roadmap.
During delivery, code lives in your repositories under your access controls; we don’t store production code or production data on our infrastructure.
NDAs are signed before discovery, IP assignment is in the master agreement, and every engineer on the team passes background checks and completes annual security training.
Three different models, three different relationships. Staff augmentation rents you individual engineers — you manage them day-to-day. Fixed-scope outsourcing delivers to spec and ends at handoff. A dedicated team is built for ongoing product work — a self-managed squad that owns delivery, integrates with your processes, and stays for the long haul. Axon Active is built for the dedicated team model. If you’re early in deciding what fits your situation, we’ll talk through the options on a discovery call.

Axon Active specializes in the dedicated team model. If you’re early in deciding what fits your situation, we’ll talk through the options on a discovery call.
Some turnover is unavoidable in any long engagement. What matters is how the model absorbs it.
Our dedicated teams are cross-functional by design: every story passes through multiple engineers, every architectural decision is documented in the team’s shared space, and there are no shadow developers — every person on the team is visible, named, and accountable. Knowledge spreads across the squad instead of concentrating in one key person. Work happens in the open — shared backlog, code review on every change, pair programming where it pays off.
When someone does leave, we handle the replacement while the rest of the team carries context through the transition.
It starts with an initial call. We listen to what you’re building, what you need, and what you expect. We walk you through what we offer and propose a team shape, timeline, and pricing model. No deck, no sales script.
A typical squad is 5–8 people: a Squad Leader (also acting as AI Enablement Lead), Software Engineers (back-end, front-end, or full-stack — chosen for your stack), and QAs. A dedicated Product Owner or Business Analyst can be added when you need one.
You can scale up or down with notice — headcount isn’t locked, and starting with a small pilot team is always an option.
