What Engineering Leaders Say About Hiring with Us

Hear from founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders who use our developers to improve delivery speed, team capacity, and execution visibility.

Hire Developers in India: Frequently Asked Questions

Will language or time zone differences affect our collaboration? icon

No. Our developers communicate in English and keep a daily Golden Hour overlap with your team for real-time standups and sprint reviews. Outside that window, updates go through your own Slack and Jira, so work keeps moving while you are offline. 

Can I hire developers in India for short-term tasks or only long-term projects? icon

You can hire for either. Hourly hiring suits short tasks, and you pay only for hours logged. Monthly hiring suits ongoing work at 160 hours per developer. Fixed-cost projects suit a defined scope, with the cost agreed before development begins. 

Can I hire Indian programmers for specific tech stacks like AI, Node.js, or React.js? icon

Yes. We cover 100+ technologies, including AI, Node.js, and React. Tell us your stack and we send 3 matched profiles within 30 hours. You interview each developer before you decide 

What is included in the developer's rate? icon

The rate covers the developer's time, a dedicated manager, DevOps and QA support, and free replacement if the fit is wrong. You also get the 7-day risk-free trial. We add no recruitment overhead on top of the hourly rate. 

What happens if the developer I hire doesn't meet my expectations? icon

We replace the developer at no cost. During the 7-day trial, you can also stop with no obligation. If you continue and later have concerns, tell your dedicated manager, and we repeat the matching process so a new developer can join your project. 

Are your developers experienced with international product standards? icon

Yes. Our developers work with global product teams and follow your sprint cycles and code review rules. Your existing tools, such as Jira, Slack and GitHub, stay in place, so the developer fits into your process from the first week.  

Dedicated developer vs freelancer: which should I choose? icon

Choose a dedicated developer when the work will run for months. A dedicated developer works only on your project and follows your process. A freelancer usually splits time across clients. With us, you also get a dedicated manager, free replacement and DevOps and QA support. 

How do you protect my intellectual property (IP) and data? icon

Every developer works under an NDA, and you own all code from day one. This is how we handle offshore developer IP protection. Developers work inside your own tools and repositories, so your code stays under your control. 

Who owns the code? Do I get full code ownership and legal rights to the product? icon

You do. You own 100% of the code from day one. Our developers work under NDAs, and all work produced for your project belongs to you. 

How much does it cost to hire developers in India? icon

Hiring a developer in India costs $18 to $35 per hour, depending on experience. Associate developers with 2 to 4 years of experience cost $18. Mid-level developers with 5 to 8 years cost $25. Senior and lead developers with 8+ years cost $35. At 160 hours a month, that is $2,880 to $5,600 per developer. 

How do I hire developers in India, and how quickly can I start? icon

Share your requirements, and we send 3 matched profiles within 30 hours.You interview the profiles, and your chosen developer starts 48 hours after you approve. On day one, the developer joins your Slack, Jira, and GitHub. A 7-day risk-free trial follows. 

What if the developer leaves? icon

We replace the developer at no cost. Your dedicated manager runs the matching again and sends new profiles for you to interview. That way your sprints keep moving, and you don't have to restart the search yourself. 

Can I hire one developer or build a full remote development team in India? icon

You can do either. Start with one developer, or build a full remote development team. You can add UI/UX, QA, or DevOps engineers on short notice as your project grows. 

Dedicated team vs offshore development center: what is the difference? icon

A dedicated team is a group of developers who join your process and report to you. An offshore development center is a longer-term setup, and it makes sense when you need 10+ engineers over time. Start with a dedicated team and move to a center as you grow. 

Other Ways to Build Your Team in India

Not every project needs the same setup. Choose a dedicated development team in India for focused project work, or an offshore development center in India for long-term scale.
