Accelerate, build, modernize, scale and ship software, data and AI products with AIGard's engineering teams.Accelerate

AIGard provides full-stack software, data and AI engineering teams that embed into your organization. We deliver through three engagement models: staff augmentation, dedicated teams and software outsourcing.

Clients use AIGard to accelerate a product roadmap, build new platforms, modernize existing systems and put AI into production, with senior engineers who typically start within two to four weeks.

The difference is how much of the delivery you manage. With staff augmentation, you direct individual engineers inside your own team. A dedicated team is a self-managing AIGard team working against priorities you set. With software outsourcing, AIGard owns delivery of the whole project against milestones you approve.

All three draw on the same vetted engineers and the same contracts, security practices and ownership terms.

Engineers typically start within two to four weeks of the scoping call. The exact date depends on the roles, seniority and number of people required.

We confirm a realistic start date in writing before you commit, and you meet the proposed engineers before work begins.

AIGard engineers typically cost 30–50% less than the fully loaded cost of a comparable US-based hire, with no recruiting fees, benefits overhead or insurance costs on your side.

The figure for a specific engagement depends on the model, the roles, the seniority mix and the size of the team. We issue a written proposal after the scoping call, so the commercial terms are agreed before any work starts.

Every engineer clears a five-stage process before joining a client team: profile review, communication, skills assessment, a practical challenge and a technical interview with senior engineers.

The process tests delivery record, professional English, code quality, system design and proficiency in AI-assisted development. For staff augmentation and dedicated teams, you then interview and approve each person we put forward.

Yes. For staff augmentation and dedicated teams, you meet and approve every engineer before they join.

For outsourced projects, AIGard assembles the team and is accountable for its performance; you review progress at demos and approve each milestone.

No. AIGard builds complete products: web and mobile applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, data platforms and the AI features that sit on top of them.

AI is one layer of the stack. The same team that plans your architecture builds, ships and supports it, across eight practice areas.

Yes. Many engagements begin with architecture and roadmap work: assessing current systems, selecting the stack, sequencing releases and sizing the team.

That plan carries directly into delivery with the same people, so nothing is lost between strategy and execution.

You do. Intellectual property assignment is written into every contract, in every engagement model.

That covers source code, designs, documentation, data, models and prompts produced for you. Third-party components and their licenses are identified, so ownership is clear at handover.

NDAs are signed before any access is given, and engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access, with permissions limited to their responsibilities.

Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work. We review your access policies, data-handling needs and vendor requirements during scoping.

AIGard finds the replacement and manages the handover, so delivery keeps moving and you do not restart a hiring process.

Retention, performance and handovers are our responsibility in every engagement model. If someone is not working out, tell us and we act early.

Yes. You can move between staff augmentation, dedicated teams and software outsourcing without changing partner.

A common path is to begin with two or three augmented engineers and grow into a dedicated team once the scope is clear. Adding a team or a project means a new statement of work under the same master agreement, not a new negotiation.

AIGard is a US company headquartered in Southern California, with a global team and an engineering hub in Vietnam.

Product and project managers work in your time zone, join your meetings live and keep delivery moving across time zones, so decisions do not wait overnight for an answer.
