01 — Context
Why founders in Australia hire us for full-stack developer work.
Hire a full-stack developer to own features end-to-end — database schema, API, frontend, auth, and deployment — without handoffs.
Australian founders get senior React, Shopify, and SaaS engineering with AEST morning overlap and USD-denominated pricing — roughly half the rate of a Sydney senior contractor (Sydney senior devs average A$800–A$1,200/day). One engineer accountable end-to-end.
02 — Approach
How we work.
The fastest way to ship is when one engineer owns the slice from database to browser. We work across the stack with a strong preference for TypeScript end-to-end and opinionated choices that reduce cognitive load.
AEST morning overlap for standups and reviews. Async updates via Slack outside that window. Billed in USD via Stripe or Wise. Direct communication with the engineer building your product — no agency layer.
03 — Deliverables
Every engagement ships with:
- Backend API (REST, tRPC, or GraphQL)
- Frontend web application
- Database schema + migrations
- Auth, billing, admin tooling
- CI/CD pipeline + deployment
- Typical stack
- Node.js · Next.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Redis · Docker
- Typical projects
- Early-stage startup shipping from zero · Rebuilding legacy monoliths with a modern stack · Fractional tech lead for solo founders · Taking a prototype to production

06 — FAQ
Questions about hiring in Australia.
How does timezone work with Australia?
We overlap with AEST/AEDT mornings (your 10am-2pm is our 5:30am-9:30am IST) for standups, code reviews, and synchronous planning. Everything else is async.
Do you work with Australian e-commerce brands on Shopify?
Yes. Most AU Shopify work is multi-currency with Shopify Markets (AUD / USD / NZD). We handle Stripe / Shopify Payments, GST-compliant invoicing on the merchant side, and Afterpay / Zip / Klarna integrations.
Can you work with Australian early-stage startups?
Absolutely. Fractional engineering retainers (10–30 hours/week) are available for funded pre-seed and seed-stage Australian startups — a fraction of the cost of a Sydney-based senior, with direct founder access.
Do you work with clients in India, the USA, and Australia?
Yes. I work with clients globally and have served teams across India, the USA, Australia, the UK, and Singapore. Indian clients are billed in INR; international clients are billed in USD (AUD on request).
How much does a custom SaaS or web app cost?
Custom web apps start at $10,000 for a focused MVP and scale with the feature set you choose on the quote estimator. Each additional feature (auth, payments, admin dashboard, real-time, etc.) adds $100. You get a full fixed quote before any work begins.
