Frequently asked questions

How is hiring a developer through My Coders different from a freelance marketplace?+

A marketplace hands you a profile and leaves the management to you. We scope the work with you first, match a vetted developer whose stack actually fits, and keep a project lead accountable for delivery — so you're managing outcomes, not chasing a freelancer.

What does it cost to hire a developer through My Coders?+

Hourly engagements start from AUD $45/hour, and full-time dedicated hires from AUD $5,500/month. The exact rate depends on the seniority and stack the role calls for, which we confirm after a short call about the actual work.

Can I start with a trial before committing to a full-time hire?+

Yes. Most engagements start with a short paid trial sprint so you can see how the developer works before deciding to extend to part-time or full-time.

Who owns the code my developer writes?+

You do. Every engagement includes documented, owned code and a proper handover — there's no vendor lock-in built into the arrangement.

What happens if the developer isn't the right fit?+

We replace them. The project lead stays accountable for the outcome throughout the engagement, not just for the initial match.

Do I need to manage the developer day to day myself?+

No — a project lead handles standups, reporting and coverage for leave, so you're not running project management yourself. Direct access to your developer is always available when you need it.
