FAQ
What buyers ask before hiring an offshore engineer
How much does it cost to hire a developer in India?
Through an agency, $22–$32 per hour for a mid-level engineer and $32–$45 per hour for a senior, which is roughly ₹2.2–3.2 lakh and ₹3.5–5 lakh per month on a full-time dedicated seat. AI and infrastructure roles price above that band; QA prices below it. Each role page carries its own rate card.
How quickly can a developer start?
Typically 5 to 12 working days from the point where scope and commercials are agreed, depending on the role. AI and DevOps seats take longest because we hold a narrower bar on production experience.
How do you vet developers?
A technical interview run by a senior engineer, a practical exercise close to the real work, and reference checks on recent delivery. You then speak to the engineer yourself before anything is signed.
What if the engineer is not a good fit?
Tell us within the first two weeks and we replace them at our cost, or you end the engagement and pay only for the days worked.
Do we own the code?
Yes. IP assignment and an NDA are signed before technical access is granted, and everything is committed to your repository under your organisation from day one.
Can we hire a whole team rather than individuals?
Yes. A delivery pod is three to four people including QA and a named delivery owner accountable for the sprint outcome, at roughly $12,000–$20,000 per month.
What timezone overlap do you offer?
At least four hours of daily overlap is included as standard — full overlap for UAE, Singapore, and Australia, mornings for the UK, and early afternoon onward for US Eastern. More overlap than that is available and priced accordingly.
