Senior Freelance Software Design Developer

I've been coding professionally for 15 years, the last 5 as a cofounder and director of a team of engineers that grew from 2 to 15+ people. I am passionate about programming and enjoy helping other developers, both junior and senior, improve their skills. I have mentored developers that now work at places like Google or Tesla. My experience range is full stack, with a preference for Python, C++ and JavaScript, but I have used many other technologies too. I have a PhD in Bioinformatics, and two degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science. Algorithms, math, competitive programming and biomedicine are other passions of mine, and I'd be glad to help you in those fields too.

FAQs

Why hire a Software Design developer?

In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.

Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a Software Design developer, multiple developers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote Software Design developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

How do I hire Software Design developers?

To hire a Software Design developer, you need to go through a hiring process of defining your needs, posting a job description, screening resumes, conducting interviews, testing candidates’ skills, checking references, and making an offer.

Arc offers three services to help you hire Software Design developers effectively and efficiently. Hire full-time Software Design developers from a vetted candidates pool, with new options every two weeks, and pay through prepaid packages or per hire. Alternatively, hire the top 2.3% of expert freelance Software Design engineers in 72 hours, with weekly payments.

If you’re not ready to commit to the paid plans, our free job posting service is for you. By posting your job on Arc, you can reach up to 350,000 developers around the world. With that said, the free plan will not give you access to pre-vetted Software Design developers.

Furthermore, we’ve partnered with compliance and payroll platforms Deel and Remote to make paperwork and hiring across borders easier. This way, you can focus on finding the right Software Design developer for your company, and let Arc handle the logistics.

Where do I hire the best remote Software Design developers?

There are two types of platforms you can hire Software Design programmers from: general and niche marketplaces. General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find Software Design developers on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.

If you’re looking to hire the best remote Software Design developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their Software Design developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote Software Design developer candidates.

Some factors to consider when you hire Software Design developers include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.

Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find Software Design developers for hire.

How do I write a Software Design developer job description?

Writing a good Software Design developer job description is crucial in helping you hire Software Design programmers that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.

Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote Software Design developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
