Hiring from Canada

Hire remote developers for your Canadian business

Developers in India building websites, web apps, mobile apps and custom software for Canadian companies. From $10/hr, senior developers from $25/hr, by project, by the hour or by the month.

Working across time zones

India (IST) is 9½ hours ahead of Toronto and Montréal and 12½ hours ahead of Vancouver, one hour less while daylight saving is on.

The Indian evening meets the Eastern morning, which is where daily calls usually go. Western teams usually keep one short call early in their morning.

Work moves forward overnight: you review in the morning and answer questions before the developer's next day.

Canadian companies usually come to us for one of two reasons: a product that needs more development than the in-house team can give it, or a project that does not justify a full-time hire.

We match a developer to the work, you talk to them before anything starts, and you choose whether to pay for a defined project, for hours as you need them, or for monthly capacity.

Who it suits

  • A startup that needs to build and launch without a large local team
  • A company with an existing web app that needs new features and fixes
  • An agency that needs reliable extra developers for client projects
  • A business moving an old system to a modern stack

Rates and billing

  • Rates are quoted in US dollars: from $10/hr for a developer, from $25/hr for a senior developer
  • Project work is quoted against a written scope before it starts
  • Monthly engagements are agreed for the capacity you need, month by month
  • Start with a small paid task if you want to see the work first

How it starts

  • Tell us what you are building and the stack you use
  • We suggest a developer and you talk to them directly
  • Pick project, hourly or monthly, and agree the first piece of work
  • Work happens in your repository and your tools

Common questions

Will the developer be available during our working day?

For part of it. Expect a daily overlap for calls and questions, mostly your morning, with the rest of the work done while you are offline.

Can the developer work in our repository and tools?

Yes. The developer works in your repository, your project tracker and your chat, the same way someone in-house would.

Who owns the code?

You do, once the work is paid for.

Can we try one developer before committing?

Yes. Start with a small paid task, then move to hourly or monthly work once you are happy with it.
