Offshore Development Center for US Companies
A dedicated offshore development center in Dhaka, Bangladesh: developers, QA engineers and designers who work only for you, employed and supported by Teamliva and directed by your own team.
An offshore development center (ODC) is a team of developers and related specialists, based in another country, that works as an extension of your own engineering team. Teamliva builds and runs that team in Dhaka, Bangladesh for businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom: we recruit the people, employ them, equip them and handle payroll and HR, while you set the priorities and review the work.
You interview and approve every hire, and the team works in your repositories, your project tools and your sprint rhythm. That keeps product decisions with you, without the cost and delay of registering a company, setting up an office and hiring local leadership yourself.
If you are comparing the options, an ODC sits between hiring freelancers and owning a captive center: more continuity than freelancers, far less set-up than your own legal entity abroad. Our guides below explain the trade-offs in plain terms.
What's included
Recruitment & Assessment
Candidates are sourced and assessed for your stack before any introduction. You interview and approve every hire.
Employment, Payroll & HR
Teamliva employs the team and handles payroll and HR administration, so you do not need a local entity.
Equipment & Secure Access
Controlled devices and limited, role-based access to your systems, under an NDA signed on day one.
Team Lead & Reporting
A named team lead handles coordination, continuity and regular reporting while your engineering manager sets priorities.
Start Small, Grow by Role
Begin with two or three engineers and add roles as the product grows, rather than committing to a large team up front.

- You approve every hire and direct the work, so engineering decisions stay with you
- No local company, office lease or payroll to set up
