How quickly can I add remote developers to my Australian team?

Timelines depend on the role and stack. Common roles in our core stacks can be shortlisted quickly, while niche specialists take longer. We confirm a timeline on the scoping call.

Will offshore developers overlap with my working hours?

Dhaka is 4 hours behind AEST and 5 hours behind AEDT, and Perth is only 2 hours ahead of Dhaka. Our developers shift their schedules to cover your core hours. Bangladesh does not observe daylight saving, so overlap moves by an hour when your state changes the clocks.

Who owns the code and IP?

You do. IP assignment to your Australian entity is written into the contract.

How do you handle data security and Australian privacy obligations?

Work happens in your repos and environments with least-privilege access and signed NDAs. For regulated projects we work within the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, and can follow Essential Eight controls on request.

How is pricing set, and how does it compare with hiring locally?

We quote a transparent monthly rate per role after scoping, based on seniority, stack and engagement length. That lets you compare it directly against local contractor and permanent hire costs.

Which developer roles can I hire?

Front end, back end, full stack, mobile, DevOps, QA, data engineering and UI/UX, plus tech leads and delivery managers for larger squads.

Should I choose a dedicated team or staff augmentation?

Choose a dedicated team when you want Ontik to own delivery of a product. Choose staff augmentation when you already have a team and need extra capacity under your own leadership.

OUR HIRING WORKFLOW

From Brief to First Commit, Step by Step

01.

Scope Your Requirements.

We review your product, stack, team structure and budget on a call that suits Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth hours. You leave with a clear role profile and a realistic timeline.

02.

Match and Shortlist.

We select engineers against your stack and domain, then send profiles for your review. You interview the people who will actually work with you.

03.

Onboard to Your Workflow.

Developers are set up on your repos, pipelines, ticketing and comms tools, with access scoped to your security policy. Overlap hours and sprint ceremonies are agreed before day one.

04.

Manage With Full Visibility.

A named account manager, weekly reporting and open access to the boards you already use keep delivery transparent. Adjust team size as your roadmap shifts.

See Progress as It Happens, Not After the Fact

Your developers work inside your tools, so sprint status, pull requests and blockers are visible in real time. There is no black-box delivery and no waiting for a weekly report to find out where things stand.
