Roles

Roles you can hire

This hub is for staff augmentation. Each role page explains what that person owns on your team, how they work inside your process, and what to ask in the interview. Buyers comparing hire dedicated developers india options usually need an embedded engineer in India while their product owner stays in their home market. Most start with one of these six roles and expand once the arrangement is working.

Engagement models

What each hiring model commits you to

Pick the model by how you want work directed, not by a brochure label. The questions below are what a buyer should settle before signing with any partner.

Dedicated developer

You commit to one person on your backlog for an agreed period. You direct their day-to-day work, code review and sprint scope. Change is handled inside your process. Scaling down means ending or reducing that seat at the notice terms you negotiate in the contract, not an implied guarantee on this page.

Part-time or hourly

You commit to a capacity band rather than a full seat. You still direct the work. Scope changes are normal; the constraint is hours, not a fixed deliverable. Ask what happens when unused hours roll, and how priority conflicts are resolved if the person also supports other clients.

Dedicated team

You commit to a small unit (for example developers plus QA or design) that reports into your product owner. You set priorities across the unit. Scaling down is a team-size change, not a project cancellation. Confirm who replaces someone who leaves and who owns knowledge transfer.

Project-based

You commit to an outcome and a scope document, not to embedding a named person. Mobulous directs day-to-day delivery against that scope. Change goes through a change request. This is not staff augmentation; use it when you want a defined build rather than a seat on your team.

Hiring process

How hiring actually works

Free functional and technical discovery calls come first. A mutual NDA follows before detailed discussion. No joining timeline is promised on this page. Ask any partner what their current bench and notice terms actually are before you sign.

01

Free discovery calls

Functional and technical calls to understand the role, stack, overlap hours you need, and whether staff augmentation is the right model versus a project engagement.

02

Mutual NDA

Signed before we exchange sensitive product detail, architecture notes or candidate profiles beyond a high-level summary.

03

Role definition

Responsibilities, seniority by capability, tools, reporting line and what success looks like in the first month on your team.

04

Profile shortlisting

We share anonymised profiles that match the role. You decide who reaches interview. No photographs and no invented client names on the profile.

05

Your technical interview

You interview them yourself. We do not substitute our screening for yours.

06

Selection and onboarding

Once you select, we handle employment paperwork on our side while you grant repo, tracker and communication access on yours.

Profiles

What a profile looks like

Before you interview anyone, you should see the shape of the person you are evaluating. Below is the artefact shape we share. Names and photographs are withheld at this stage. Client names stay redacted where NDAs require it. You still interview them yourself.

Experience and stacks
Years described by shipped work, not a seniority slogan. Real stacks they have used in production, mapped to your role.
Projects
Selected work with their specific contribution, at the level NDAs permit. Outcome lines only where a published case study or client-approved brief states them.
Availability and notice
Current availability and the notice that applies to their current assignment. Confirm the exact notice period in the contract before you rely on it.
Time zone and overlap
Home time zone and the overlap window that is realistic for your product owner. Overlap hours are negotiated per engagement, not guaranteed as a site-wide policy.
Redacted by design
Personal contact details, photographs, and client names covered by NDA. Ask for references only after mutual interest is clear.

Mobulous employs the developer. You direct the work. Replacement, leave cover and HR stay on our side of the arrangement once terms are agreed in writing.

Control split

What you control and what we handle

You control

  • Direction and product priorities
  • Sprint scope and acceptance
  • Code review standards in your repository
  • Tools for chat, tickets and CI that your team already uses
  • Who stays after the interview

We handle

  • Payroll and employment
  • Equipment on our side of the arrangement
  • Leave cover planning
  • HR administration
  • Replacement candidates when the contract provides for it — confirm the process before you sign
Time zones

Working across time zones

Delivery runs from Noida (India Standard Time) and Newark, Delaware (US Eastern). Overlap with your product owner is agreed per engagement. This page does not promise a fixed number of overlapping hours. Before you sign with any partner, ask what overlap is realistic for the role you are hiring, how stand-ups are scheduled, and what happens when festivals or public holidays land mid-sprint.

What usually works

A written overlap window for planning and review, async updates for deep work, and a shared ticket board so progress is visible without chasing chat threads.

What to confirm in writing

Core collaboration hours, holiday calendars on both sides, escalation contact when the developer is blocked, and whether your evening is their morning or the reverse.

Contract terms

What you get contractually

Source code and IP

Source code and intellectual property transfer on delivery for work produced under the engagement, as stated in the contract.

Mutual NDA

A mutual NDA before detailed discussion of product, architecture or candidate detail beyond a high-level summary.

Post-launch support

Four months of free post-launch support where a build is delivered under a project engagement. Staff-augmentation seats follow the support terms written into that seat agreement.

Trial periods, replacement SLAs, notice periods and guaranteed overlap hours are not published as blanket policy here. Establish each of those points in the contract before you sign with Mobulous or any other partner.

Reading before you hire developers

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before hiring

Is this staff augmentation or a fixed project?

This page is for staff augmentation: a developer joins your team and works under your direction. Project-based delivery is a separate model when you want a defined outcome instead of a seat. Choose deliberately; the contracts differ.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes. A mutual NDA comes before detailed discussion of product, architecture or candidate profiles beyond a high-level summary.

Who interviews the developer?

You do. We shortlist and share profiles; your technical interview decides who joins.

Who owns the code?

Source code and intellectual property for work produced under the engagement transfer on delivery, as written in the contract.

How fast can someone join?

It depends on the role, stack and current notice obligations. Establish a joining timeline in writing before you rely on one. This page does not publish a standard joining SLA.

What if the person is not a fit?

Ask any partner, including Mobulous, what the replacement process, trial terms and notice periods are before you sign. Those terms are not published as blanket policy on this page.

Can I hire designers, QA or a project manager too?

Yes. Clients hire across engineering, design, QA and delivery roles. Use the role pages for developers and designers, and say so on the discovery call if you need QA or project management capacity as well.
