Hire Dedicated Developers

Hiring a dedicated developer typically costs $4,000 to $8,000 per month, and a full dedicated team costs $8,000 to $50,000 per month, depending on seniority, skill, team size, and location. Scarce skills such as AI, ML, and DevOps sit at the higher end.

For comparison, a mid-level US developer costs roughly $10,000 to $15,000 per month in salary alone, before employer taxes, benefits, and overhead. We confirm a firm rate for your requirement in a short scoping call.

A dedicated developer works only on your project through a partner who handles recruiting, payroll, and HR, so you get focus and continuity without employment overhead. A freelancer splits attention across clients and suits short, one-off tasks. An in-house hire gives you full ownership but takes three to six months to recruit and carries salary, benefits, and turnover costs.

The dedicated model fits when you need sustained capacity fast and want the engineer building context in your codebase month over month.

Vetted dedicated developers can usually start within days of you approving a candidate, rather than the three to six months a direct hire takes. The exact start date depends on the seniority and specialization you need and how quickly you complete interviews.

Yes. You review vetted profiles and run your own interviews, and nothing is assigned to your team without your sign-off. We shortlist based on your requirements, but the selection decision remains with you.

If a developer is not the right fit early in the engagement, we replace them at no extra cost, so the risk sits with us rather than you. We keep matching until the fit is right, and you keep control of the selection at every step.

If a developer moves on, we replace them and manage the handover, including documentation and knowledge transfer, so your roadmap does not stall. Because our developers work in your repositories and tools with your standards, context lives in your codebase rather than in one person's head.

Yes. Everything our developers build, including source code, models, and documentation, belongs to you. Ownership is defined in the contract from the start; we sign NDAs before any work begins, and there is no lock-in or ongoing dependency on Cypherox.

We screen every developer for real production delivery, technical skill, and communication before you see a profile, so you interview only engineers who can do the work. You then run your own interview and confirm the fit before anyone joins your project.

Yes. You can add developers as the roadmap grows or reduce the team as it winds down, without a new recruitment cycle each time or any long-term lock-in. This flexibility is one of the main reasons engineering leaders hire this way rather than making direct hires.

Your developers work in your project management tools, join your standups, and report to you directly, so progress is visible in the same place as your internal team's work. We agree on the reporting cadence during onboarding, and you can add a tech lead for consolidated reporting on larger teams.

We agree that your working hours overlap with ours before onboarding, and our developers use your communication tools and join your live ceremonies within that window. When your team needs real-time collaboration, we align our overlap with your core hours rather than running fully asynchronously.

Our developers work independently under your direction. They take a goal, ask the right questions up front, and flag blockers early rather than waiting to be asked, so you get an engineer who contributes to decisions rather than one who needs constant supervision.

We offer four options: a full-time dedicated developer, a team extension to address a specific skill gap, a full dedicated team with a tech lead and QA, and part-time or fixed-scope engagements. You can move between models as the work changes.

Each starts with a scoping call, and we confirm rates, composition, and timelines before anything begins.

Yes. Dedicated developers can stay on after launch for monitoring, maintenance, and iteration, or you can scale the engagement down to a smaller support window. Support terms are set per engagement rather than forced into a single arrangement.
