Dedicated Developers Working Only on Your Product
A dedicated developer works only on your product, joins your standups and tools, and is paid for their time rather than a fixed scope. You direct the work. The provider handles hiring and replacement.
How an engagement runs
When this beats a freelancer
A freelancer suits a defined task with a clear end. This arrangement suits ongoing product work where context matters and you would otherwise need a second hire. The person learns your codebase, stays through releases and is covered if they fall ill. You also get a contract and a company behind them, which matters when the work is core to your business.
When it is the wrong choice
If you cannot give direction, a dedicated developer will wait or guess. Someone on your side must own priorities, review pull requests and write tickets. Small fixed projects are usually better as a scoped build. Time zone gaps can also hurt. Agree overlap hours up front, because a developer unreachable at your decision time loses a day.
Frequently asked questions
How is a dedicated developer different from a freelancer?
The developer is employed by a company that handles contracts, equipment and cover, and works only for you. A freelancer is an individual who may split attention across clients and carries all risk alone.
Who manages the developer day to day?
You do, for priorities and tasks. The provider manages employment matters such as leave, pay and equipment, and a lead steps in if the working relationship needs attention.
Who owns the code the developer writes?
You do. The contract assigns the work to your company, and the code lives in your repositories from the first day. Leaving never means chasing files.
What happens if the developer is not a good fit?
Tell us, and a replacement is proposed. Some ramp-up time is lost, so keep onboarding notes and tickets current. A new person can then pick up from written context instead of someone’s memory.
