Freelance XP developer in Brazil

I have been a programmer for approximately 8 years. During this period, I had contact with several languages, from C ++ to JS. Throughout this journey, I have been following the PHP language and some of its frameworks such as CodeIgniter and Laravel, which was the one I had the most contact with, for about 6 years in my life. During my career as a programmer, my responsibilities ranged from generating application models to developing them normally using PHP and in rare cases WordPress. Through this period I had the opportunity to learn features related to deploying applications, developing software, creating models, and developing small details in the front end.

XP developer in Brazil

In the past years, I was able to develop and maintain web applications using different technologies, and I'm always willing to learn new ones. On daily basis I usually have to work with Typescript, ReactJS, React Native, Koa, GraphQL, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, Github Actions, DynamoDB, Postgres, and MongoDB. In addition, I have some experience with Python, but I have never used it on a big project, only used it to build deep learning algorithms and a small API. In these past few weeks, I have studied Golang, gRPC, and microservices architecture. I built some projects to apply what I've learned. My goal is to keep improving and use these technologies in my future position.

FAQs

Why hire a XP 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 XP 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 XP developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

While you can find XP 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 XP developers, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their XP developers for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote XP developer candidates.

Some factors to consider when you hire XP 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.

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 XP 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.
