Engineering with Salt in Pune.
Choose who will lead delivery, then define the working arrangements. The operating model below separates your responsibilities from Salt’s; commercial terms are specific to your engagement.
| Responsibility | Dedicated engineers | Managed development team |
|---|---|---|
| Business priorities | Your product owner sets priorities and accepts business outcomes. | Your product owner sets priorities and accepts business outcomes. |
| Day-to-day delivery | Your team directs the engineer’s tasks, reviews, and delivery process. | Salt coordinates the agreed workstream and reports progress to your decision owner. |
| Technical leadership & QA | Your team supplies leadership and testing unless separately included. | The proposal identifies the leadership and testing included in Salt’s scope. |
| Changes and blockers | Your delivery lead manages prioritization and dependencies. | Salt raises delivery blockers and scope changes for your decision. |
Contracting and billing
Your proposal and agreement need to identify the legal contracting entity, scope, billing currency, payment schedule, and change process. US presence does not by itself determine the entity signing your contract.
Communication overlap
Identify your time zone, essential live meetings, delivery contacts, and escalation owner. Record the overlap window in both US local time and India time, including how daylight-saving changes are handled. Full US-day or 24/7 coverage is not a default commitment.
Source code and access
Separate repository access from legal ownership. Specify who administers the repository and deployment accounts, what code and assets are delivered, any pre-existing or third-party components, and the applicable IP terms.
Progress and acceptance
Define a review cadence, a shared view of work and blockers, and the person authorized to accept a deliverable. For each release, identify the acceptance criteria, known limitations, and unresolved issues.
Handover
List the handover deliverables: source access, setup and deployment instructions, environment requirements, outstanding issues, and a walkthrough. Identify the people receiving access and the system owner after delivery.
Support after delivery
Distinguish defect correction from new features and ongoing operations. Specify the support period, coverage hours, severity definitions, response targets, and escalation route. An ongoing support arrangement must be included explicitly.
From requirement to onboarding
A clear process for building your team.
Define the role
Share your stack, backlog, expected ownership, collaboration hours, and target start.
Review the fit
Discuss suitable profiles and relevant experience. Agree on interviews and any assessment before selection.
Agree & onboard
Confirm allocation, commercial terms, access, working practices, and an initial set of tasks.
Hiring questions
Clarity before
the commitment.
Content publishing and page assembly differ from custom themes, plugins, integrations, and WooCommerce changes. Describe the work explicitly. For development, evaluate PHP skills, update compatibility, staging practices, and testing of the editorial or checkout workflow.
Describe the theme or builder, installed plugins, editorial workflow, and any commerce requirements. Clarify whether the work is content management, custom development, or both.
A new feature can affect editors, plugin compatibility, performance, and checkout. Ask how the developer would test a change and recover from an unsuccessful update.
Availability depends on the required skills, seniority, workload, and selection process. Share your target date so we can discuss a realistic start. A confirmed profile and agreed onboarding plan should come before a delivery commitment.
Pricing depends on the role, experience, allocation, engagement duration, and delivery responsibilities. We scope these with you before providing a proposal. Clarify whether technical leadership, testing, infrastructure, and support are included or supplied by your team.
Include profile review and a role-relevant technical conversation in the selection process. Agree on the assessment format, access to work examples, and who makes the final selection. Any trial period, replacement terms, and notice periods must be stated in the agreement.
In a dedicated engagement, your team directs priorities and day-to-day work. Agree on repository access, code review, intellectual-property terms, confidentiality, and handover in the contract. If you need Salt to coordinate delivery, discuss a managed team instead.
Share the hours when collaboration is essential. Meeting overlap, response expectations, holidays, and any support coverage are agreed for the engagement; a full US working day or 24/7 availability should not be assumed.
