Hiring from UK

Hire remote developers for your UK company

Developers in India whose working day covers your whole morning. Websites, web apps, mobile apps and custom software, by project, by the hour or by the month.

Working across time zones

India (IST) is 4½ hours ahead of the UK in summer (BST) and 5½ hours ahead in winter (GMT).

The UK morning and early afternoon overlap the Indian afternoon, so most questions get answered the same day and stand-ups fit easily.

The developer has started before you arrive, so by mid-morning there is usually something to review.

For UK teams, India is one of the easier places to work with: the time difference is short enough that your morning and the developer's afternoon are the same working hours.

We match a developer to the work you describe, you speak to them before anything starts, and the engagement runs the way your team already works: your tools, your repository, your review process.

Who it suits

  • A UK startup that needs developers without hiring full-time staff
  • A digital agency that needs extra capacity for client work
  • A business with an existing website or web app that needs ongoing changes
  • A product team that wants a dedicated developer working inside its own process

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

How much of the day overlaps?

Most of the UK morning and the start of the afternoon. That is enough for a daily stand-up and same-day answers on most questions.

Can the developer join our stand-ups and sprint reviews?

Yes. Morning UK meetings fall in the Indian afternoon, which is normal working time.

What about data and GDPR?

Tell us how your data is handled and what access the developer should have. Work can be done without production data, on staging and test accounts, where that matters.

Can we start small?

Yes. Start with a scoped task or a few hours, and move to a monthly engagement once you know the developer.
