Two-second version: I build AI-powered SaaS products end-to-end with Next.js and OpenAI. From the diagnostic pipeline and realtime sync to Paddle/Stripe billing and launch. View my portfolio below, or check out lukarakic.me for examples of my broader development work. Excited to talk! Longer version: Hey! I'm Luka. I've spent the past two years building web products professionally: full-stack apps, SaaS tools, dashboards, client-facing platforms. My core stack is Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS on the frontend, and Ruby on Rails/Supabase on the backend. This is what I reach for when a project needs real logic: authentication, databases, payments, admin dashboards, AI integrations, anything beyond a static page. Most clients keep coming back because of three things: Design-to-dev precision, whether that's a Figma handoff or a product spec. I just handle it, minimal back-and-forth, clear communication I just handle it, minimal back-and-forth, clear communication Clean, fast, maintainable builds. Nothing you'll be duct-taping later What I can help with: Full-stack web apps (Next.js/Rails/Supabase): SaaS tools, dashboards, client-facing platforms AI integrations (OpenAI API, diagnostic/recommendation pipelines, RAG) Payment integrations (Stripe, Paddle), authentication systems, third-party APIs Realtime features: live sync, collaborative tools, sockets Performance and accessibility audits Bug fixing and cleanup on existing projects I've worked with solo founders, small businesses, and agencies. Sometimes with a full brief and brand guidelines, sometimes brought in mid-project to fix something or take it further. Whether it's a focused integration or a full product build with a database and admin panel, my goal is the same: something that works cleanly and scales, not something you're patching six months later. If your project is a bit outside the usual niche industry, or has unusual requirements, reach out anyway. I like solving those. Cheers, Luka

Paddle developer hiring guide

Paddle developers help SaaS companies, digital product teams, and subscription businesses connect Paddle Billing to the product experiences customers use every day, including checkout, plan changes, renewals, cancellations, and access control. Whether you need to migrate from another billing provider, implement a new subscription model, or build custom pricing workflows, hiring an experienced Paddle developer can help you launch revenue-critical billing features with clearer logic, stronger testing, and fewer operational surprises. For complementary support on payment infrastructure, you might also explore hiring a payment gateway integration specialist.

What does a Paddle developer do?

A Paddle developer integrates Paddle Billing with your application or website, including checkout flows, subscription signup and management, product catalog configuration, application programming interface (API) workflows, webhook processing, and database synchronization. This work often includes configuring products and prices in Paddle’s sandbox environment, building or customizing checkout experiences, handling subscription lifecycle events such as upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations, and mapping customer and transaction records to your internal user database.

Common deliverables include a working checkout integration, configured product catalog and pricing tiers, webhook endpoints that process billing events, subscription access logic that grants or restricts product features based on billing status, sandbox test transaction records, and documentation covering API integration, webhook handling, and provisioning workflows. Depending on your stack and business model, a Paddle developer may collaborate with backend developers on API implementation, frontend developers on checkout UI, or finance teams to confirm tax, reporting, and billing workflows align with business requirements.

How to hire a Paddle developer on Upwork

Hiring a Paddle developer on Upwork starts with a clear job post, then moves through candidate evaluation, structured interviews, and a documented contract scope. A practical hiring process helps you compare developers by relevant billing experience, technical fit, communication style, and how they plan to test revenue-impacting workflows.

Step 1: Post a job

Start by describing the billing outcome you need and the technical environment the developer will work in. A strong Paddle developer job post includes:

  • Deliverables and project goal, such as checkout integration, billing migration, or subscription workflow buildout
  • Current tech stack, including backend language, frontend framework, and database
  • Subscription model details, such as pricing tiers, usage-based billing, upgrade paths, and trial rules
  • Existing payment provider, if you are migrating, plus the expected migration timeline
  • Sandbox or production requirements and expected launch date
  • Budget type, including fixed-price milestones or hourly support
  • Success criteria, such as test transaction completion, subscription state accuracy, and documented handoff

Use the Job Post Generator, powered by Uma™, Upwork’s Mindful AI, to create a customizable draft. Describe your project in a few sentences, and Uma can generate a starting post you can refine. You can also review this job description template guide for structuring technical requirements, deliverables, and timeline expectations.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Evaluate Paddle developer candidates by matching their billing experience, technical stack, and proposed approach to your project scope. When reviewing proposals and profiles, prioritize:

  • Portfolio or case studies showing Paddle, Stripe, or subscription billing work
  • Technical skills aligned with your stack, such as Node.js, Python, PHP, React, or another relevant framework
  • Evidence of API integration, webhook handling, and subscription lifecycle management
  • Client reviews highlighting billing accuracy, communication, and testing rigor
  • Proposed approach in the cover letter, including how the developer plans to handle sandbox testing, webhook security, and database synchronization
  • Availability and time zone overlap for coordination with your engineering or finance team
  • Relevant work history, Job Success Score (JSS), and talent badges such as Top Rated or Expert-Vetted, when available

Use Upwork’s side-by-side candidate comparison tools and developer skills assessment best practices to structure your evaluation consistently across candidates.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Interview your top choices with scenario-based questions that validate billing judgment, asynchronous event handling, and testing practices. A focused 20to 30-minute interview can cover the developer’s approach, communication habits, timeline assumptions, and how they would handle edge cases. During the interview:

  • Ask how they would sync Paddle subscription status with your user database
  • Discuss their approach to failed payment events, past-due subscriptions, and canceled accounts
  • Confirm which webhook events they would log, retry, and monitor
  • Review their testing strategy for checkout, subscription changes, and edge cases
  • Ask how they estimate timelines when migration data, legacy billing rules, or stakeholder approvals are uncertain
  • Clarify how they document API integration and hand off webhook logic to your team

Use Instant Interviews to collect structured video responses from candidates before scheduling live discussions. Upwork’s built-in messaging and video tools help keep interview communication in one place. For additional guidance, see common interview questions.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Agreeing on scope before work begins helps both you and the developer align on deliverables, payment terms, access needs, and review checkpoints. Before the contract starts, confirm:

  • Final deliverables, such as checkout integration, webhook processor, subscription logic, and documentation
  • Milestones for fixed-price work, such as sandbox setup, checkout build, webhook implementation, and production launch
  • Weekly expectations for hourly contracts, if the project will evolve over time
  • Success criteria, including test transaction completion, subscription state accuracy, and documentation standards
  • Revision process and how scope changes will be handled
  • Communication cadence, such as daily updates, weekly check-ins, or asynchronous progress reports
  • Access plan for sandbox credentials, staging environments, and production cutover steps after the contract is in place

Use fixed-price milestones for clearly defined builds and hourly contracts for evolving support. For fixed-price contracts, Upwork can hold project funds and release payment when milestones are approved.

FAQs about Paddle developers

Frequently asked questions

Is hiring a Paddle developer worth it?

Hiring a Paddle developer is often worth it when your business depends on accurate subscription billing, global checkout flows, or customer access tied directly to billing status. Paddle integrations require checkout implementation, product and price configuration, REST API work, subscription management, webhook processing, and database synchronization. Experienced developers can reduce rework, help teams avoid billing logic errors, and launch with clearer provisioning workflows.

What technical skills should I look for in a Paddle developer?

A Paddle developer should have payment integration experience, API development skills, webhook handling expertise, and familiarity with SaaS subscription logic. Technical requirements often include proficiency in backend languages such as Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, or Go; experience with frontend technologies like React or Vue if checkout customization is needed; database management for storing Paddle identifiers and syncing subscription state; version control using Git; and an understanding of webhook signature validation and sensitive data handling.

Stack fit matters because Paddle provides official software development kits (SDKs) and tools for multiple environments. A developer experienced in your specific stack can often integrate faster and with fewer compatibility issues.

How long does a Paddle integration project typically take?

A Paddle integration timeline depends on scope, existing infrastructure, and testing requirements. A basic checkout setup on an existing site may take 1-2 weeks, while a full subscription integration with customer mapping, webhook processing, and access logic often runs 3-6 weeks.

What deliverables should I expect from a Paddle developer?

A Paddle developer typically delivers a working checkout integration, configured product catalog and pricing in Paddle, subscription creation and management workflows, webhook endpoints, customer and subscription ID mapping, access provisioning logic, sandbox test records, and technical documentation. Larger projects may also include migration plans, production launch checklists, and monitoring dashboards.

What information should I share with a Paddle developer before work starts?

Before work starts, share enough non-sensitive information for the developer to estimate scope, such as your tech stack, subscription model, current billing provider, expected deliverables, and timeline. You can also share screenshots, sample pricing rules, or a staging-only overview when needed for evaluation. Credentials, production access, customer data, and sensitive system details should be shared only after the contract is in place and access rules are agreed on.
