Engineering Team Build · Powered by DBOS™ — Design · Build · Operate · Scale

A client-owned, in-house engineering team on your payroll, built and run by Webist.

We design the team to the capability slots defined in your roadmap, build it with engineers you approve, operate it to KPIs from the first week, and scale it as the roadmap grows. They are your employees. The management discipline is ours.

The framework

Powered by DBOS™ — Design · Build · Operate · Scale.

Four stages, one accountable team. The engineers are your employees from day one; the standard they are built and run to is Webist's.

Design

  • Senior leadership and architecture bench already in place before the first engineer is sourced.
  • Every capability slot defined in the Solution Architecture phase: stack, seniority and first deliverable, not a generic job title.
  • Team structure, reporting lines and budget approved by you before anyone is hired.

Build

  • Candidates drawn from Webist's pools in China, the Philippines and Malaysia, matched by region for time zone, language and culture.
  • You interview and approve every person. Engineers join your payroll as full-time employees.
  • Onboarding on your stack, your industry and Webist's delivery standards in the first four weeks.
  • Structured progression (Learn, Apply, Evaluate, Compete), with readiness measured through evaluation gates, not assumed from a CV.

Operate

  • Management rules and KPIs agreed with you in week one and reported every sprint.
  • Webist's senior architects lead the team day to day, with your PM or ours as the single point of contact.
  • AI-assisted development tooling and code review practice built into the daily routine.
  • Working hours, activity and output visible through the Webist Remote Management System.

Scale

  • Add capability slots as the roadmap grows; each addition is built and onboarded under the same standard.
  • Scale specialists up or down as systems stabilise, while your own engineering team grows with the business.
  • Retention safeguard: if an engineer leaves within 12 months, we source a replacement at no extra cost.
  • Code, data, knowledge and intellectual property stay inside your company as the team grows.
Employment model

Your employees. Our management commitment.

The engineering team is not rented. It is built for you, as your own headcount, so the knowledge and the intellectual property stay inside your company. What Webist keeps is the responsibility for running it well.

  • ContractEngineers hold employment contracts with you (or with a Webist group entity on your behalf where local employment law makes that simpler). Either way, you approve the person and own the output.
  • LocationEngineers work from Webist-managed cloud desktops in China, the Philippines or Malaysia, or on site in Kuala Lumpur where the roadmap requires it.
  • Time zoneUTC+8 core hours shared with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and China. English-first engineers available from the Philippines for Western-facing work.
  • IP and dataCode lives in your repositories and data in your cloud. Intellectual property is assigned to you.
  • ScalingAdd capability slots as the roadmap grows. Webist builds and onboards each addition under the same DBOS™ standard.
Typical capability slots

Recruited to a slot, not a job title.

Each slot names the stack, the seniority and the first deliverable the engineer is accountable for, so the interview and the first month test the same thing.

Services, integrations and high-concurrency APIs for payments, bookings and customer platforms.

Frontend

React, Vue, Angular

Customer portals, agent desktops and internal tools with accessibility and performance budgets.
