Hire Dedicated Developers · United Kingdom Good people. Working on your next priority.

Hire software, AI, web and mobile developers for your UK business. Choose dedicated engineering capacity or a team with an agreed delivery plan.

UK-registered company. International engineering team.

A working model to fit your team.

  • Dedicated developer

    Add focused capacity to an existing product team and backlog. Quoted monthly, scaled as the roadmap changes.

  • Delivery team

    Bring together complementary skills for a product or workstream: product, design, engineering, QA and DevOps.

  • Scoped project

    Agree milestones and acceptance criteria for a defined build when you would rather buy the outcome than the capacity.

Hiring developers in the UK: your questions answered.

How much does it cost to hire a software developer in the UK?

There is no single rate. Cost depends on the seniority you need, the technologies involved, the engagement model (a dedicated developer, a full team or a fixed-scope project), how long the engagement runs and whether you also need product, design, QA or DevOps support. When you compare against a permanent hire, include recruitment fees, employer National Insurance and pension contributions, equipment and onboarding time. Tell us what you need and we'll recommend a setup and give you a clear quote for it.

Can I hire a dedicated developer?

Yes. A dedicated developer works on your product as part of your team, joining your stand-ups, working in your repositories and tools and following your processes. It suits long-term projects, product teams and ongoing development.

Can I hire an entire development team?

Yes. A dedicated development team can cover product, UI/UX, frontend, backend, AI, QA and DevOps, shaped around your roadmap. It is a good fit for SaaS products, startups, new products and larger development projects.

Can I hire AI developers?

Yes. Our AI developers build AI-powered applications, AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, AI search and automated workflows, working with models from OpenAI, Google (Gemini) and Anthropic (Claude) alongside vector databases.

Can Krapton developers work with our existing engineering team?

Yes. Developers can join your existing team and work within your repositories, code review process, project management tools and communication channels. Responsibilities, working-hours overlap and reporting are agreed before work starts.

Can you work with UK startups?

Yes. We work with startups that need to build an MVP, validate a product or add engineering capacity without immediately hiring a large internal team. An engagement can start small and grow with the product.

Can you work with UK agencies?

Yes. Agencies can work with Krapton as an engineering partner to extend their delivery capability, for example by taking on development for client projects while the agency leads strategy, design or the client relationship.

Can you take over an existing project?

Yes. We start by reviewing the codebase, architecture, infrastructure and documentation to understand the current state and any risks, then agree a handover plan before development continues.

Can you provide long-term maintenance?

Yes. Ongoing maintenance can include bug fixes, security and dependency updates, performance improvements and new features, delivered through a dedicated developer or an agreed support arrangement.

How quickly can a developer start?

It depends on the skills and seniority you need and on who is available at the time. Once we understand your requirements we'll give you a realistic start date, and we won't commit to one before confirming the right developer is available.
