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.
