Model
Defined work. Delivered whole.
Thygon owns a clearly scoped engineering outcome. We plug into your project with a single mission: build and deliver a specific subsystem, from brief to handover.
You don’t buy engineering hours or take on another person to manage. You buy finished subsystems that move your roadmap forward.
The process
How we work
Five stages take a subsystem from first brief to production, and keep it healthy after handover.
- 01
Brief & Scope
We understand your requirements, define the subsystem’s boundaries, and agree on deliverables, timelines, and acceptance criteria.
- 02
Design
We design the solution within your existing architecture, aligning technical decisions with your team’s standards and constraints.
- 03
Build
We implement the subsystem with transparent progress and agreed delivery milestones.
- 04
Test & Verify
We validate functionality, reliability, and integration against agreed acceptance criteria before delivery.
- 05
Handover & Maintain
We hand over the code, documentation, and operational knowledge, backed by six months of included maintenance.
Subsystems
Well-scoped. Ready to build.
Explore common backend subsystems we can scope and deliver. Each engagement begins with a technical blueprint tailored to your architecture, followed by implementation, integration, and maintenance.
Identity & Access Control
Let users and organizations authenticate, manage identities, and enforce permissions.
- Security
- Governance & Compliance
Reference architecture
Let’s design yours.
Design a custom subsystem (opens in a new tab)Not every engineering challenge fits a predefined subsystem.
Tell us what you need. We’ll help define its boundaries, design the architecture, and turn it into a deliverable that integrates with your existing systems.
Engineering Trust
Your architecture. Your standards. Your control.
Good external engineering should reduce your team’s workload, not create another system it has to manage.
Our delivery model is designed around the concerns engineering leaders have when delegating technical work.
Architectural Alignment
We agree on technical boundaries and important design decisions before implementation. Your team retains authority over its architecture and engineering standards.
Visible Implementation
No black-box development. Work can be performed through your repositories, pull requests, issue trackers, and established review processes.
Controlled Access
Access follows agreed security requirements and least-privilege principles. Your team retains control over credentials, environments, and production permissions.
Maintainable Delivery
Tests, documentation, operational context, and handoff are part of the agreed deliverable, not optional extras.
Clear Commercial Boundaries
Scope, dependencies, acceptance criteria, milestones, and change procedures are defined before work begins.
No Long-Term Lock-In
Thygon takes responsibility for delivery, not control of your product. Ownership of agreed deliverables transfers to you under the engagement’s IP terms. Your team can maintain, extend, or transfer the work after handoff.
The Economics
You pay for results. Not effort.
Hiring expands your team. Freelancers provide independent expertise. Staff augmentation adds temporary capacity.
Thygon takes responsibility for delivering a defined part of your system, from design to production and beyond.
Compare engagement models
| In-House | Freelancer | Staff Augmentation | Thygon | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Permanent engineering capacity | Individual expertise or deliverables | Temporary engineering capacity | Production-ready subsystems |
| Commitment | Ongoing employment | Project or hourly contract | Contracted staffing period | One defined deliverable at a time |
| Who manages execution | Your team | Depends on engagement | Your team | Thygon |
| Who owns delivery responsibility | Your team | Depends on contract | Your team | Thygon, for the agreed scope |
| Payment model | Salary & benefits | Hourly or fixed-price | Time-based fees | Delivery milestones |
| Post-delivery maintenance | Internal team | Depends on agreement | Internal team | Six months, included |
| Scaling | Hire more people | Engage additional contractors | Add more engineers | Delegate another subsystem |
FAQs
Before you delegate.
01How much time will my engineers need to spend managing Thygon?
Your team will need to provide context, review important architectural decisions, and validate deliverables. We structure engagements to keep those responsibilities focused.
We handle the implementation work and its day-to-day coordination. The aim is to reduce your team’s workload, not simply relocate it.
02How do I know the code will fit our existing architecture?
We establish integration boundaries, conventions, and technical expectations before implementation.
Where appropriate, your engineers review the design and changes through their existing workflow.
A deliverable isn’t complete simply because it works in isolation. It needs to satisfy its agreed integration requirements.
03What if requirements change during development?
Requirements evolve. We distinguish between refinements within the agreed scope and changes that materially alter the deliverable.
Significant changes are discussed and agreed before they affect cost or schedule. No surprise expansion of scope, and no assumption that every new request is included.
04Who owns the code and infrastructure?
Thygon takes end-to-end responsibility for delivering the agreed subsystem. Your team retains architectural authority and control over its existing systems, repositories, and infrastructure.
Ownership of the delivered work transfers according to the agreed contract and payment terms. We aim for a handoff that allows your team or another engineering partner to continue independently.
05What happens if something breaks after delivery?
Six months of maintenance are included in the project price.
That includes correcting defects attributable to the delivered implementation and the maintenance responsibilities specified in the agreement.
New features, substantial requirement changes, and unrelated failures are outside the original scope. Support channels, response expectations, and other operational terms are agreed in advance.
06What about security and access to sensitive systems?
We agree on access requirements before development. Work can follow your existing repository permissions, review processes, and deployment controls.
Production access is not automatically required. Sensitive credentials and permissions remain subject to your team’s security policies.
07How do payments work?
Projects are scoped and divided into agreed delivery milestones where appropriate.
You pay according to those milestones rather than committing the full project budget upfront. Acceptance criteria and payment conditions are defined in the agreement so both sides know what constitutes completion.
08What if we don’t have a fully defined specification?
That’s common. We can start by identifying the smallest meaningful, independently deliverable unit of work.
If the uncertainty is too high to estimate implementation responsibly, we’ll recommend a bounded discovery phase before committing to a larger delivery.
