Remote teams

Hire remote developers, screened on a live task first

Mobile, web, Python and QA engineers who work in your repository, join your standups and ship on your review. You decide on delivery, and Qelv LLC holds the contract.

$25 to $40 an hour, or $2.4K to $4.8K a month

This looks fantastic. We are most impressed.

Screening

The bar every developer clears

  1. A live technical task, not a CV screen

    Candidates get a real problem from the work, with a deadline and the shortcuts ruled out in writing. What the task is depends on the seat: a reverse-engineering problem for a data placement, a schema and a broken migration for a backend one.

  2. A phased trial, the second phase paid, under NDA

    The first phase screens. The second is paid and runs on the client's actual work, so the decision is made on delivery rather than on interviews.

  3. Placement on the client's terms

    Biweekly billing or a monthly block, in the client's repository under the client's standards, with the founder still accountable for the work.

For agencies

White-label development for agencies

Senior hands on your overflow, in your repository and under your standards, white-label, weekly invoicing, cancel anytime. Your client never sees us. $25 to $40 an hour.

Need the whole build instead?

We build custom software at a fixed price, and you own the code.

Questions

Hiring remote developers

What does a remote developer cost?

$25 to $40 an hour on the hourly bench, invoiced weekly, or $2.4K to $4.8K a month for a dedicated developer, part time to full time. A fractional engineer, a few days a month, is $1.5K to $3K a month.

How do you screen developers?

With a live task from real work, a deadline and the shortcuts ruled out in writing. For one data placement that was a 24-hour reverse-engineering task with no Selenium allowed. Then a phased trial under NDA, the second phase paid, on your own work.

Who owns the code?

You do. Developers work in your repository from the first commit, and ownership of what they produce is written into the statement of work.

Can they work white-label for our clients?

Yes. Agencies and software houses use the overflow bench for exactly that: senior hands on your overflow, in your repository, under your standards, with your brand in front of the client.

Is there a placement fee or a minimum term?

No placement fee. A dedicated developer is month to month, and the hourly bench can be canceled anytime.
