URL: https://revin.com.br Founded: 2021 Headquarters: Brazil (UTC-3) Operating in: Brazil, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, LATAM Languages: Portuguese (pt-BR), English (en-US) Last updated: 2026-05-08 --- ## What Revin is Revin runs managed engineering squads for tech companies between Seed and Series B. A managed engineering squad is a team of three to five senior engineers who work exclusively on one client's roadmap, sprint after sprint. The squad joins the client's Slack, GitHub, and standups; ships to the client's repo; and stays long enough to learn the codebase. Revin handles hiring, performance, and replacement. The client gets the team, monthly billing, and 30-day cancellation. The defining contrast: freelancers ship tasks; agencies ship projects; managed squads ship capacity. While agencies juggle dozens of clients and freelancers vanish after the PR, a managed squad works exclusively on one client's roadmap, month after month. Three structural properties: - **Exclusivity**: 100% on one client's roadmap. No client juggling. The capacity the client pays for goes to the client's backlog. - **Continuity**: same team, every sprint. The engineers who learned the stack in month 1 are the ones shipping the critical feature in month 6. - **Integration**: client's Slack, client's standups, client's repo. The client does not manage a vendor. The client works with a team. Tagline: *Senior engineering, embedded in your team.* ## Track record - Founded 2021. - 9+ years building software for tech companies (counting founder experience). - 50+ projects shipped to production. - 14 weeks average from first call to first deploy. ## What Revin ships - New features and MVPs. Validate an idea fast or ship a feature before next quarter. The squad joins, ships, moves on. - Payment and API integrations. PIX, Open Banking, international gateways, ERPs. Your platform connected to the financial stack you actually need. - Mobile apps (iOS and Android). React Native or native. Production quality, not prototype quality. - Dashboards and analytics. Data visualization people actually open every day. Not just the board deck. - Tech debt and refactoring. The work no one wants to touch. Revin comes in, understands it, refactors. Without rewriting from scratch. - Platform migrations. Database, framework, cloud. Without downtime. Without surprise. Full-stack means full-stack. No subcontracting. No "that's outside our scope." ## Engagement models Three engagement models. One audit-first entry point. Senior squads, monthly billing, cancel with 30 days notice. ### 1. Managed Engineering Squads A senior team that joins your roadmap, sprint after sprint. Three to five senior engineers working exclusively on one product for 3 to 6+ months. They join standups, follow the roadmap, accumulate the kind of context an outsider never builds. Revin handles hiring and performance. The client gets the team. Value props: - Live in 2 weeks, not 6 months. Hiring a senior engineer in the open market takes 3–6 months. The squad is operational in 14 days. - Same team, every sprint. Agencies rotate. Freelancers vanish. With managed squads the engineers who learned the architecture in month 1 are the ones shipping in month 6. - Real integration, not status meetings. The squad joins Slack, GitHub, standups. - Cheaper than full-time hiring. Salary plus benefits plus recruitment for a senior engineer in BR runs R$25k–40k per month all-in. A managed squad costs less, starts faster, creates no labor liability. - Drop-in replacement. If an engineer needs to leave, Revin replaces them at the same standard. The client is not held hostage by one person. - 30-day cancellation. No 12-month lock-in. No exit fee. Written notice and the engagement ends. You need a squad if your roadmap has more items than your team can ship; you are between Seed and Series B; you know what needs to be built and need execution. ### 2. Technical Partnership A fractional senior tech leader (20 hours per month) plus a 2–4 dev squad. The leader resolves architecture, stack, and roadmap. The squad builds. One contract, two layers of work. Use this model when you need both architecture decisions and execution and you do not yet have an in-house technical leader. ### 3. Project-based Fixed-scope delivery against a signed proposal with explicit deliverables. For when scope is defined and the client does not want to manage a vendor that inflates each sprint. ## Entry points ### Discovery Call (free, 30 min) Free 30-minute technical conversation. Honest read on whether managed squads fit. We talk about the stack, the roadmap, what is blocking. No sales pitch. The client leaves with clarity on the next step. Even if the client does not sign with us. ### Diagnostic Sprint (paid, 2 weeks) Eyebrow: "Diagnostic Sprint · 2 weeks" Headline: "The blunt audit your platform never gets from inside the building." Two weeks. A senior architect plus a senior engineer. One report telling you what's actually broken, what to fix first, and how much it costs to make it work. What's in the report (written, specific, defensible — the kind you can hand to a board or to an investor): - Architecture map: current-state diagram. What talks to what. Where the bottlenecks are. - Tech debt prioritization: every piece of debt ranked by impact and cost-to-fix, with a "leave it alone" column for what is not worth touching. - Top 3 risks: ranked by probability and blast radius, with concrete mitigation options. - Investment roadmap (3 / 6 / 12 months): what to fix when, with effort estimates and the team shape required. - Hire vs. squad recommendation: honest answer about whether to hire internally or bring a squad in. - Delivery metrics: cycle time, deploy frequency, change failure rate. Where throughput actually sits, not where standups suggest it sits. This is for you if you are post-MVP and pre-scale; if you are inheriting a codebase (new CTO, new tech lead, previous people gone, half-true documentation); pre-fundraise (investor due diligence will ask technical questions); or considering a 6-month commitment with anyone. The 14 days: - Days 1 to 2 — kickoff and access. 90-min kickoff call. Read access to repo, infrastructure, and monitoring. Revin signs your NDA. - Days 3 to 9 — audit. Architect plus senior engineer working through codebase, infra, deployment, monitoring, and team interviews. - Days 10 to 12 — synthesis. Findings ranked, recommendations written, roadmap drafted. - Days 13 to 14 — report and 1h debrief. Written report delivered. 1-hour live walkthrough with your team. Pricing (fixed in writing before kickoff, based on system size and audit depth): - USD: 5,000 – 15,000 - EUR: 4,500 – 13,500 - GBP: 4,000 – 12,000 - AUD: 7,500 – 22,500 - BRL: 25,000 – 70,000 If we recommend bringing a squad in afterward, the sprint fee is credited toward the first month. Note: slot booked in 2 business days. Final report in 14 days. ### Pilot Sprint (paid, 2 weeks) Two weeks. A real backlog item shipped to production. Validate the squad before committing to 3 months. Distinct from the Diagnostic Sprint: - Diagnostic Sprint = paid AUDIT producing a written report. - Pilot Sprint = paid PRODUCTIVE engagement shipping real code from the client's backlog. How the pilot runs: - Days 1–2: discovery and scoping. Pick a real backlog item — bug fix sprint, API integration, feature prototype, refactor. Something that ships value. - Days 3–4: squad onboarding. 2 to 3 senior engineers picked for the stack. Slack access, repo access, codebase walkthrough. - Days 5–12: execution. Daily standups, active development, code review, regular progress updates. - Days 13–14: ship and retro. Deploy, run QA, hand over docs, run a retro. Client decides whether to continue. What's included: - 2 to 3 senior engineers picked for the stack. - Real production deliverable from the backlog. - Daily standups in client Slack. - Code reviews against existing standards. - Sprint planning and progress tracking in client tools. - End-of-sprint retro with concrete recommendations. - If the engagement continues, the pilot fee is credited toward the first month. Pilot pricing: fixed fee scoped before kickoff. Same pricing logic as the squad model. ## Pricing (transparent, public, 5 currencies) 3-month minimum on Starter and Standard. 6-month minimum on Scale. 30 days notice to cancel. Comparison anchors are senior-engineer all-in market rates × team size: - USD market: $15,000 / month per senior engineer - BRL market: R$30,000 / month per senior engineer - EUR market: €11,000 / month per senior engineer - GBP market: £10,000 / month per senior engineer - AUD market: A$15,000 / month per senior engineer ### Starter Squad The smallest team that still ships independently. Composition: 3 senior engineers (1 senior + 2 mid-level). Includes: direct Slack integration, daily standups and sprint planning, code review and QA support, technical documentation, monthly billing, 30-day cancellation. Minimum: 3 months. | Currency | Price / month | In-house comparison (3 senior engineers) | |---|---|---| | USD | $12,000 | $45,000 | | EUR | €11,000 | €33,000 | | GBP | £9,500 | £30,000 | | AUD | A$18,500 | A$45,000 | | BRL | R$55,000 | R$90,000 | ### Standard Squad — Most popular The squad most growth-stage teams end up needing. Composition: 5 engineers (1 tech lead + 2 senior + 2 mid-level). Includes: everything in Starter, plus architecture and tech leadership, sprint cadence calibrated to the backlog. Monthly billing, 30-day cancellation. Minimum: 3 months. | Currency | Price / month | In-house comparison (5 senior engineers) | |---|---|---| | USD | $22,000 | $75,000 | | EUR | €20,000 | €55,000 | | GBP | £17,500 | £50,000 | | AUD | A$33,500 | A$75,000 | | BRL | R$95,000 | R$150,000 | ### Scale Squad When the work is bigger than one squad. Composition: 6+ engineers (custom composition), dedicated architect, priority support and SLAs. Includes: everything in Standard. Minimum: 6 months. | Currency | Baseline price / month | In-house comparison (7 senior engineers) | |---|---|---| | USD | $35,000 | $105,000 | | EUR | €32,000 | €77,000 | | GBP | £28,000 | £70,000 | | AUD | A$53,000 | A$105,000 | | BRL | R$150,000 | R$210,000 | Why monthly fixed pricing works better than hourly: predictable cost, no scope-creep surprises, no incentive misalignment. The fee is the price of the team. ## Compare engagement options Four ways to add engineering capacity. Honest side-by-side: time to start, commitment, who owns the code. | Dimension | Managed squad | Hire in-house | Agency | Freelancers | |---|---|---|---|---| | Time to start | 2 weeks | 3 to 6 months | 4 to 8 weeks | Days to weeks | | Minimum commitment | 3 months | Open-ended | 6 to 12 months | Per project | | Cancellation | 30 days notice | Severance and risk | Contract penalties | End of project | | Same engineers across sprints | Yes | Yes | Often rotated | No guarantee | | Owns the code context | After week 4 | After month 2 | Limited | Project only | | Engineer seniority | Senior, by definition | Whoever you find | Mixed levels | Highly variable | | Hiring overhead on you | None | 6+ months | None | Per role | | On-call participation | Optional | Yes | Rare | Almost never | | Scale up or down | 30 days | 3 to 6 months | Contract-bound | Immediate | | Public pricing | Yes, 5 currencies | Market rate | Quote on request | Quote on request | What a managed squad gets you: - Speed of freelancers — two weeks to first PR. No 6-month hiring funnel. - Quality of in-house — same engineers, sprint after sprint. They own the codebase like an internal team would. - Flexibility of agencies — scale up, scale down, or stop with 30 days notice. No yearly contracts. - No agency tax — engineers, not project managers shipping engineers' work to the client. The cost paid is the cost of the team. ## Onboarding process (4 steps, 14 weeks average from first call to first deploy) 1. **30-min technical call (Discovery Call).** We talk about your stack, your roadmap, what's blocking. No sales pitch. You leave with clarity on the next step. Even if you don't sign with us. 2. **Proposal in 48 hours.** Squad recommendation: roles, seniority, cadence, price. Detailed enough to get internal approval without another round of meetings. 3. **2-week trial (Pilot Sprint).** Real backlog delivery. You validate quality, pace, and communication fit before any long-term commitment. 4. **Squad integrated.** Your squad joins Slack, standups, and sprint planning. Monthly billing. 30 days notice to cancel. Two paths to start, depending on how much clarity you have: - If clarity exists: Discovery Call → Squad proposal → first sprint. - If clarity is missing: Discovery Call → Diagnostic Sprint (2 weeks, paid) → Squad proposal → first sprint. ## Operating principles (three things that don't bend) - **Same engineers, sprint after sprint.** No rotation. The squad you start with is the squad you scale with. Consistency is the product. - **Senior, by definition.** Every engineer has shipped production code at scale. No bootcamp grads on a client codebase. No "will grow into the role." - **Honest reads.** Sometimes the right answer is "do not hire us." We tell the client that instead of selling. Our funnel is built around it. How we deliver: client's stack, client's tools, client's standup. Slack, GitHub, Jira, monitoring, on-call. Day one in client standup. First production PR by week 2. ## Case studies ### Insanity — Scaling F2C sales: MLM platform for influencers - Industry: e-commerce / health and wellness. - Region: Brazil. - Type: web platform. - Hero: "Multi-level sales platform managing 500+ influencer partners with real-time commission tracking. Live in 5 months." Challenge: Insanity, a Brazilian supplements brand running 100% direct-to-consumer, needed to structure and scale its influencer channel without adding back-office headcount. Thousands of influencer accounts and referral networks to manage. Manual sales, commission, and downline tracking did not scale. Off-the-shelf MLM systems lacked real-time data and decent UX. What we built — a custom MLM platform tailored to Insanity's model: - Personalized links and codes: each influencer gets a unique link or code to track sales. - Multi-level tracking: hierarchical referral structure with full visibility into team performance. - Automated commission engine: real-time commission calculation across every level of the network. - Gamified dashboard: influencers see sales, team performance, ranking, and earnings in one place. - Tray e-commerce integration: full integration with Insanity's existing Tray-based storefront. Impact: - 500+ active influencer partners managed through a single transparent system. - 95% process automation. No more spreadsheets or manual commission calculations. - Network scaled without extra back-office headcount. - Direct sales attribution created accountability and lift. ### Exato — Automated PIX receipts: instant healthcare payments - Industry: health. - Region: Brazil. - Type: custom software. - Hero: "Automated payment receipts plus real-time PIX reconciliation for a healthcare platform. Manual confirmations dropped to zero." Challenge: Exato, a healthcare provider, needed to remove manual steps from its payment receipt process and offer patients instant confirmation. Manual receipts and payment confirmations delayed appointment confirmation. No integration between financial transactions and internal systems. Required instant payment support with security and traceability. What we built — an intelligent solution integrated with Exato's ecosystem, automating the entire PIX receipt flow: - Automatic receipt generation: every PIX transaction generates a receipt automatically. Zero manual steps. - Real-time payment confirmation: validated PIX payments update the patient status immediately. - Smart notifications: patients and internal teams get instant alerts on payment completion and receipt issuance. - Backoffice integration: direct connection to internal systems for financial control, audit, and reporting. Impact: - +80% efficiency in receipt processing. Time spent on confirmations and receipts dropped sharply. - Real-time operations. Every transaction is processed instantly with automatic responses. - Better patient experience. Payments completed with no queue and no support intervention. - Audit-ready. Fully auditable system aligned with regulatory requirements. ### Regional environmental data platform (Amazon basin) Platform integrating environmental data from 8 Amazon-basin countries.

How is a managed squad different from an agency?** A. Agencies juggle multiple clients and rotate engineers between projects. Our squads work on your codebase only. The same engineers, sprint after sprint. Think "team extension," not "project outsourcing." **Q. How is it different from freelancers?** A. Freelancers usually work in isolation across multiple clients. Our squads integrate with your team day one. Slack, GitHub, standup, monitoring, on-call rotation if applicable. **Q. Can I scale the squad up or down?** A. Yes. Add or remove engineers with 30 days notice. The model is flexible by design. **Q. Who owns the code and IP?** A. You own 100% of the code and IP. Every line of work product is yours from day one. We sign IP assignment as part of the standard agreement. ### Engagement and pricing **Q. What's the minimum commitment?** A. 3 months for standard squads. After the first 3 months, billing is month-to-month with 30 days notice to cancel. **Q. How does cancellation work?** A. 30 days written notice. No cancellation fees. We earn the contract every month. **Q. How does pricing work?** A. Fixed monthly fee based on squad size and composition. Published publicly in 5 currencies on the pricing page. No hourly billing. No scope creep surprises. **Q. Can I hire the team full-time later?** A. Yes, with a transition fee (typically 2 to 3 months of the service value). Terms are agreed upfront in the contract so there are no surprises. **Q. What payment methods do you accept?** A. International wire, ACH (US), PIX (Brazil). Net 15 on monthly invoices. Other arrangements possible during proposal. **Q. Do you sign NDAs?** A. Yes. Mutual NDAs before discussing any proprietary information. Standard. ### Process and communication **Q. What time zones do you work in?** A. Brazil-based (UTC-3). 4+ hours overlap with US East Coast and UK business hours. For US West Coast clients, we adjust for key meetings. **Q. How do you communicate?** A. Slack for real-time, async written standups, weekly video calls for sprint planning and retros. We adapt to your existing tools. **Q. What if quality isn't good?** A. Two ways to de-risk before committing. Option A: a 2-week Diagnostic Sprint. Option B: interview the engineers before signing. If something is off mid-engagement, we replace the engineer at our cost. **Q. How do you handle bugs and urgent incidents?** A. Production incidents: 1-hour response during your business hours. The squad gets monitoring tool access and participates in on-call rotation if needed. **Q. How do you track progress?** A. Your project management tools (Jira, Linear, Asana). Full visibility into sprint planning, daily progress, and deliverables. Weekly demos keep everyone aligned. ### Team and quality **Q. Who will be on my squad?** A. Engineers picked to match your stack and needs. You receive profiles and interview the engineers before kickoff. Typical composition: 1 senior lead + 2 to 4 senior developers. **Q. What if a team member leaves?** A. We handle HR and retention. If someone leaves, we backfill within 2 weeks with full handover. Zero impact on your project. **Q. Do you work with our stack?** A. Most modern web and mobile stacks. TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, Python, Java, PHP, C#, Go, Postgres, Redis, AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes. Other stacks: discussed during proposal. **Q. How do you screen engineers?** A. Senior-only: 5+ years of production experience. Process: technical assessment, live coding interview, culture fit. Less than 5% of candidates make it through. ### Diagnostic Sprint **Q. What's the Diagnostic Sprint?** A. A 2-week paid audit. Senior architect plus senior engineer review your codebase, infra, and team. You get a written report: what's broken, what to fix first, the budget required. **Q. When should I do a Diagnostic Sprint instead of going straight to a squad?** A. When you don't fully know what's broken. Pre-fundraise. Inheriting a codebase. Post-MVP, pre-scale. The sprint produces a defensible roadmap before you commit to a multi-month engagement. **Q. How does the Diagnostic Sprint fee work?** A. Fixed price scoped before kickoff (5 currency ranges on the diagnostic-sprint page). If we recommend bringing a squad in afterward, the sprint fee is credited toward the first month. ## Partner program Revin is building a network of agencies, consultancies, and software houses that refer clients for managed-squad engagements.
