Frequently Asked Questions
How do you screen developers?+
A practical coding test in the relevant stack, a portfolio and past-project review, and a live English interview. Only a small fraction of applicants reach the shortlist you interview.
Who owns the code and IP?+
You do. The contract assigns full ownership of all code, accounts and work product to you — exactly as with a direct employee.
How do time zones work?+
Our developers are screened for US-shift availability, so you get real overlap with your working day for standups, reviews and pairing — not an answer that arrives overnight.
What does a developer cost by specialty?+
Full-stack and front-end from $1,550/month, back-end from $1,650, game developers from $1,600, IT technicians and sysadmins from $1,400. Senior specialists run up to about $2,500 — still a fraction of a US salary.
