Full-time dedicated developer
A senior engineer allocated to you full-time, working your hours and embedded in your team, standups and tools. Best for ongoing product work and roadmaps that need continuity.
Hire Dedicated Developers
When you hire dedicated developers from Nextline Creative, you get senior India-based engineers who plug into your team, your standups and your codebase, not a marketplace of freelancers you have to manage yourself. We are a Gurugram studio building for companies across the US, Canada, UK, UAE and Australia, offering Western-agency quality at 40 to 60 percent less than local rates, with real daily timezone overlap and clean contracts from day one. You own all the code and IP, scale the team up or down monthly, and deal with one accountable group covering design, development and QA.
The honest version of offshore development is not the cheapest hourly rate you can find on a bidding site, it is the difference between a team you can rely on and a revolving door of strangers. We are a single studio in Gurugram, founded in 2020, with 40-plus projects behind us, so when you hire dedicated developers from us you are hiring the same named people every day, working your hours, joining your standups and writing code into your repository. That continuity is the whole point: the engineer who shipped your first feature is the one who understands the second, instead of a fresh contractor who has to relearn your product every sprint.
Dedicated means exactly that. Your developers are allocated to you full-time or part-time for the engagement, not split across five clients and answering yours last. We overlap four to eight hours a day with US and European working hours, so questions get answered inside your day rather than bouncing back overnight, and we send written async updates so you always know what shipped and what is blocked without chasing anyone. English is fluent across the team because most of our work has always been for Western clients, and communication is the thing we are most deliberate about, since it is where offshore engagements usually fail.
We keep the commercial side clean and low-risk because that is what makes offshore work sustainable. Every engagement starts with an NDA and a contract that assigns all intellectual property to you, so the code, the designs and the accounts are yours from the first commit. Billing is in USD, monthly or hourly, with no long lock-in: you scale the team up when a launch is coming and down when it is not, on a month's notice. If a role or a match is not working, we swap the person or wind the engagement down cleanly, because a client who feels trapped is not a client who renews.
Pick the model that fits your roadmap - scale the team up or down as your needs change.
A senior engineer allocated to you full-time, working your hours and embedded in your team, standups and tools. Best for ongoing product work and roadmaps that need continuity.
A fixed block of hours per week from a named developer, ideal when you need senior capacity but not a full 40 hours, or want to start small and scale up.
A scoped design-plus-dev-plus-QA pod that ships a defined build to an agreed milestone plan, priced for the whole project rather than by the seat.
Indicative USD ranges. Every engagement is scoped and quoted for your specific needs - no hidden fees.
Scoping call: we talk through what you are building, the stack, the seniority you need and how you like to work, then recommend an engagement model and a team shape.
Match and trial: we propose named developers with real profiles, you interview them directly, and we can start with a short paid trial so the fit is proven before you commit.
Onboarding: we sign the NDA and contract, get access to your repo, tools and standups, and agree the daily overlap window and reporting rhythm in the first week.
Delivery and scaling: your developers ship in your workflow with written daily updates, and you scale the team up or down, or swap a person, on a month's notice.
We commit to a four to eight hour overlap with your working hours, so India's afternoon covers a US morning or a UK full day, and that window is when calls, standups and quick questions happen. Outside it, we work asynchronously and send written end-of-day updates on what shipped and what is blocked, so nothing important waits a whole day for an answer. For most clients this ends up feeling like a productive handoff rather than a barrier, because work continues while you sleep and is ready for you when you log on.
We are a single studio, not a body shop, so the people you meet are our own team who have shipped our 40-plus client projects since 2020, not contractors pulled off a marketplace for your job. When we propose developers for your engagement you interview them yourself and see real work, and we are happy to start with a short paid trial so you judge the quality directly rather than taking our word for it. We staff engagements with senior engineers because offshore only works when the work does not need redoing.
You own everything. Every engagement begins with an NDA and a contract that assigns all intellectual property, code, designs and accounts to you, so there is no ambiguity about ownership of what you paid for. Code goes into your repository under your control, and access to any third-party accounts is set up in your name. Clean IP and contracts from day one are a core part of how we work, precisely because it is the thing serious offshore buyers worry about most.
We keep it flexible rather than forcing a long lock-in. You can start part-time or with a short scoped project to test the working relationship, and full-time engagements run month to month so you can scale down or stop on a month's notice. We would rather earn a renewal than trap you in a twelve-month contract, so the minimum is deliberately low and the exit is clean.
After a scoping call and once you have chosen your developers, onboarding usually takes a few days: we sign the paperwork, get access to your repo and tools, and align on your standup and review rhythm in the first week. Because you are getting an existing, cohesive team rather than newly assembled strangers, there is no long ramp to build team chemistry, and developers are typically contributing real work within the first sprint.
If a particular developer is not the right fit we will swap them, and if the engagement itself is not working we wind it down cleanly on a month's notice with your code and accounts fully handed over. We build in the paid trial and the interview step specifically to catch mismatches early, before they cost you a quarter. A client who feels stuck is not a client who comes back, so we make leaving as clean as joining.
Tell us your stack, timezone, and roadmap. We'll share matched profiles, rates, and a start date - serving teams across the US, UK, UAE, Canada, and Australia.
