Foundevs

Foundevs is a 30-person software development shop based in Gdańsk, Poland, founded to serve clients across the EU, USA, and Middle East. The team specializes in custom web application development, with 90% of engineers holding Middle or Senior titles. Every developer has a bachelor's degree in computer science and experience working for EU/USA customers. The company operates with a stated 90 NPS score and claims a 65% customer retention rate for additional resources.

Services and capabilities

Foundevs operates three primary engagement models. Project development puts the company in full ownership of the software lifecycle—from idea discovery through architecture, requirements, implementation, QA, and post-release support. The firm structures work in sprints with biweekly demos and sprint reports; 95% of customers use time-and-materials pricing rather than fixed price. Foundevs has delivered projects in media management, insurance, telecom, and e-commerce sectors.

Staff augmentation places individual engineers into customer teams. The company maintains a bench of 3-5 engineers and averages one week to fill a position. Customers can scale headcount up or down with short notice, and Foundevs handles all operational costs—payroll, benefits, replacements. Core technical expertise is Java, React, and Angular, though the company accesses a broader partner network for Python, Node.js, Vue.js, .NET, PHP, and Ruby roles.

Dedicated team assembles full squads—back-end, front-end, full-stack, or SCRUM teams with engineers, QA, architect, and product owner. Hiring takes 1-3 weeks. All IP created belongs to the customer.

Integrations Foundevs has built include Stripe, Keycloak, Asana, HubSpot, Degreed, Amazon, Google Maps, Atlassian products, Telegram, PSPDFKit, Azure AD, and ffmpeg.

How they work

For project development, Foundevs starts with a discovery phase to articulate vision and scope via a "Vision and Scope" document. Architecture comes next, followed by iterative requirements and design (the company favors Agile over Waterfall). Implementation and QA run in parallel; once a minimum viable product is ready, it ships to production with ongoing support and iteration. Customers attend daily standups, have access to project management and version control systems, receive biweekly sprint reports, and see demos every two weeks. For staff augmentation and dedicated teams, hiring follows a screening call, candidate presentation, customer interview, and contract/onboarding. Foundevs managers operate in US/EU time zones with monthly check-ins and team surveys. Replacement procedures run 1-3 weeks with documented knowledge transfer if an engineer leaves.

For project pricing, fixed-price engagements lock requirements, scope, cost, and timeline upfront but carry higher hourly rates due to risk; new scope is a change request. Time-and-materials is flexible, with payment after each iteration; the company says 95% of customers choose this model.

Team and credentials

Foundevs has 30+ engineers. Hiring is selective: only 5% of candidates pass all rounds of technical and soft-skills interviews. Eighty percent of engineers hold Middle, Middle+, or Senior titles. All engineers have a CS degree. The firm screens for soft skills, requests references, and lets engineers vote on project participation based on tech stack and description. Engineers train on EU/USA communication norms and adjust to customer time zones. The company maintains a partner network across Europe and USA to source additional talent. No certifications (ISO, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA) or partner badges are mentioned in the source material.
