Senior AI and data engineers who join your team.

A named engineer you interviewed and chose, working in your sprint, without running a hiring process yourself. TeamXT employs them, pays them and looks after them. You direct the work.

Every engineer is technically assessed by senior Focaloid engineers in the same discipline before you see a profile. Then you interview them yourself.

[] Who it's for

Engineering and data leaders who need skilled people in their team now.

At companies from scale-ups to large enterprises. Usually it is the hiring manager or a technical buyer who calls, and one of these is true.

  1. [ 01 ]

    A role has been open for weeks and the roadmap is slipping.

  2. [ 02 ]

    The company has raised funding and needs engineers faster than recruiting can find them.

  3. [ 03 ]

    A new engineering or data leader needs capacity while planning the team.

  4. [ 04 ]

    The team needs a specialist skill it doesn't have, such as Databricks or agentic AI.

  5. [ 05 ]

    The company is planning its own capability centre in India.

[ Not the right fit ]

When you want someone else to own delivery.

That is Focaloid's project and pod work, where Focaloid directs the engineers and owns the outcome.

And when contractors can only be bought through a vendor portal or an MSP programme, because TeamXT works directly with the teams it supports.

Focaloid's project work
[] Three ways to work

Start with one engineer. Grow into a team. Build your own centre when you're ready.

Three ways to work, and they form a path. You direct the engineers' work in every case, except during the operate phase of an India centre, when TeamXT runs the team until handover.

One specialistAn extended teamYour own India centre

[ Way 1 ]

One specialist

One engineer you interview and choose. They join your team and report to your manager.

Suits: a role open too long, or a skill the team lacks.

[ Way 2 ]

An extended team

Two or more engineers in your team, each interviewed by you, working in your sprint.

Suits: a roadmap growing faster than hiring allows.

[ Way 3 ]

Your own India centre

TeamXT recruits and builds a team in India, runs it for 18 to 24 months, then transfers it to your own entity.

Suits: companies that want their own capability centre without building it from scratch.

iTwo or more engineers in your team become an extended team. Add engineers as the work grows, and when you are ready for your own centre, TeamXT builds it, runs it, and hands it over.

[] Skills

Two priority areas. Not the limit.

Data engineering and AI engineering lead because that is where Focaloid's engineering experience runs deepest. The roles are not limited to these two disciplines: engineers across other stacks are placed the same way, so ask about any role.

Data engineering

Priority

Typical roles

  • Data Engineer
  • Senior Data Engineer
  • Lead Data Engineer
  • Data Platform Architect

Core skills and platforms

  • Databricks
  • Spark
  • Delta Lake
  • Unity Catalog
  • Snowflake
  • Python
  • SQL
  • Data modelling
  • Pipelines
  • Cloud data services

Spark, SQL and data modelling are the core and the platform sits on top, so one engineer can often work across Databricks and Snowflake.

AI and agentic engineering

Priority

Typical roles

  • AI Engineer
  • Agentic AI Engineer
  • MLOps Engineer
  • AI Solutions Architect

Core skills

  • Production applications on LLMs
  • Retrieval
  • Agent workflows
  • Evaluation
  • Model deployment
  • Monitoring

Engineers who build production systems, not data scientists or research roles.

[ Other roles ]

Other engineering roles

Product, platform, cloud and other engineering roles are placed with the same care: assessed by senior Focaloid engineers, then interviewed and chosen by you. We show them as current availability rather than a fixed list, so if the role you need isn't on this page, tell us and we'll share profiles.

Ask about a role
[] How it works

Five steps from the role to an engineer in your sprint.

You choose every engineer personally. TeamXT does the finding, screening, assessing and employing.

  1. [ 1 ]

    Tell us the role

    Skills, seniority, start date, working hours and how the team works.

  2. [ 2 ]

    We share profiles

    Anonymised profiles of engineers who fit, are available and have passed a technical assessment.

  3. [ 3 ]

    You interview and choose

    You interview your shortlist and pick who joins.

  4. [ 4 ]

    The engineer joins

    You give access to your tools, and the engineer joins the sprint.

  5. [ 5 ]

    We stay involved

    Regular check-ins with you and the engineer, and a replacement if it isn't working.

iEngineers who are available now can start soonest. Engineers recruited for your role may need to serve notice with their current employer first. We are transparent about this: every profile says which of the two it is, so the start date you plan around is the real one. Nothing is hidden.

[] Who handles what

You direct the work and own the outcome. TeamXT handles everything else.

Everything about the engineer as an employee sits with TeamXT: employment, payroll, benefits, compliance and the check-ins.

You The client

  • Choose the engineer, after interviewing
  • Set day-to-day priorities and run the sprint
  • Give access to your tools, code and systems
  • Review the work and own the outcome

TeamXT The employer

  • Finds, screens and technically assesses engineers
  • Employment, payroll, benefits and leave
  • Statutory employment compliance in India
  • Regular check-ins with you and the engineer
  • Replaces an engineer when it isn't working
[] Why clients can trust TeamXT

TeamXT's credibility is Focaloid's.

Each point below is something you can check, on focaloid.com or on a public register.

[ The firm ]

An engineering firm, not an agency

Focaloid builds and runs production AI, data platforms and software products for its clients: AI consulting and agentic AI, product, cloud and platform engineering, and data and agentic AI on Databricks. TeamXT puts that depth behind every engineer it places.

[ Assessment ]

Assessed by engineers who do the work

Before a profile reaches you, the engineer is technically assessed by senior Focaloid engineers in the same discipline. Data engineers are assessed by people who build data platforms, and AI engineers by people who ship production AI.

Then you interview them yourself.
[ Security ]

Security you can verify

Focaloid Technologies holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022, certified by TÜV Rheinland and listed on its public Certipedia register. The certificate covers Focaloid's software development services and supporting functions, including HR.

TÜV Rheinland · ISO/IEC 27001:2022Certificate 9000041009
[ Partnerships ]

Partnerships that match the skills

Focaloid is a Databricks Partner, a Snowflake Partner and a member of the Claude Partner Network. TeamXT's two priority areas, data engineering and AI engineering, are the same areas those partnerships cover.

[ Procurement ]

Ready for your security review

Focaloid answers standard security questionnaires, such as CAIQ, SIG-lite or your own, typically within two business days. TeamXT engineers work inside your systems, with access you grant and can revoke.

CAIQ · SIG-lite · your own questionnaire
[ Governance ]

Governance as a standard

Every AI system Focaloid builds runs through a nine-phase lifecycle with eight documented gates, structured on the NIST AI RMF and mapped to the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001. It is the standard the firm behind TeamXT holds itself to.

[] Location, hours and pricing

From India, in your hours.

Engineers work from India and join your team remotely, during hours that overlap with your working day. The overlap hours are the ones Focaloid publishes for its own delivery.

[ Working-hours overlap ]
  • Europe (CET)Full working day
  • United KingdomFull working day
  • US East CoastA morning, every day
  • US West CoastAn early window

Engineers join your stand-ups, your channels and your sprint, from India.

[ How pricing works ]

One specialist and extended teams are billed per engineer, with the rate set by seniority band. An India centre is priced across its build, operate and transfer phases, plus a transfer fee.

  • EngineerBuilds within a defined scope, with a senior engineer's review.
  • SeniorOwns a workstream end to end and reviews others' work.
  • LeadSets a team's technical direction and runs its delivery.
  • ArchitectDesigns the platform and sets the standards across teams.

Ask for the rate card for your location and seniority.

[] Questions clients ask

The questions we hear first, answered plainly.

If yours isn't here, ask. You'll get an answer from a person at TeamXT, not a portal.

Who manages the engineer day to day?

You do. The engineer works in your team, follows your priorities and joins your team's routines. TeamXT handles employment and checks in with you regularly.

Do we get to interview the engineers?

Yes. You interview and choose every engineer before they join.

How do we know the engineers are good?

Every engineer is technically assessed by senior Focaloid engineers in the same discipline before you see a profile. Then you interview them yourself.

Where do the engineers work?

From India, remotely, during hours that overlap with your team. European and UK clients get a full working day of overlap.

How quickly can someone start?

Engineers who are available now can start soonest. Engineers recruited for your role may need to serve notice with their current employer first. We are transparent about this: every profile says which of the two it is, and the start date you see is the real one. Nothing is hidden.

What if an engineer isn't the right fit?

We replace them. An engineering organisation of 200+ people stands behind every placement.

Is our code and data safe?

Focaloid, the company behind TeamXT, is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified by TÜV Rheinland. Engineers work inside your systems, with access you control.

Can you handle our security review?

Yes. Focaloid answers standard security questionnaires, such as CAIQ and SIG-lite, typically within two business days.

How is it priced?

Per engineer, set by seniority band. An India centre is priced across its build, operate and transfer phases, plus a transfer fee.

Can we start with one engineer and grow?

Yes. Add engineers as the work grows. Two or more engineers in your team become an extended team.

Can we eventually have our own team in India?

Yes. TeamXT builds the team, runs it for 18 to 24 months, then transfers it to your own entity.

Do you only place AI and data engineers?

No. Data and AI engineering lead because that is where Focaloid's engineering experience runs deepest, but every engineering role is placed the same way. Ask about any role.

[] TeamXT and Focaloid

One story, told from two sides.

TeamXT places engineers who join your team. Focaloid delivers outcomes through its own pods and projects. If you want someone to own delivery, you belong with Focaloid. If you need engineers in your own team, you are in the right place.
