Hire REST API Developer

Q: How much does it cost to hire a REST API engineer?

Dev-Hire charges one all-inclusive monthly rate per engineer, covering the engineer, payroll, benefits, equipment, free replacement and our fee. The rate depends on seniority, appears on each profile, and is billed month to month with no placement fees.

Q: Does a REST API engineer work in my time zone?

Yes. Engineers work your hours with a stated daily overlap, so your REST API engineer joins your standups, planning meetings and code reviews in real time instead of passing work back and forth overnight.

Q: How quickly can I hire a REST API engineer?

You get a shortlist of hand-picked engineers within 48 hours, each with a monthly rate, verified skills and overlap hours. You interview the candidates you like, and your engineer can start within a week while we handle contracts and payroll.

Q: What if the REST API engineer is not the right fit?

Tell us and we replace the engineer at no extra cost. Billing is month to month and there are no placement fees, so you are never locked into a long contract.

Vetting

How we vet REST API engineers

Every REST API engineer on Dev-Hire passes a profile review of their CV and past work, a communication check for clear spoken and written English, and a technical interview led by a senior engineer. The interview combines live coding with scenarios that test problem solving, code quality, architecture choices and how the candidate debugs unfamiliar code. Only the top 1.5% of applicants are accepted and published, so you start from engineers who have already been checked.

Typical engagements

Add a dedicated engineer to your sprint to clear a backlog of features and fixes
Take ownership of a neglected part of the codebase and bring it up to date
Prototype a new product idea quickly, then harden it for production
