Hire the Best Software Developers
Overland Park, Kansas
You need software that solves a real problem, built right the first time, by people who understand your business and not just your stack. I'm Orest, founder of SoftDoes. We're a U.S.-based custom software firm working with: โข Non-technical founders with a vision โข Technical leaders who need help but not additional headcount โข Business operators solving operational complexity Our team has delivered across healthcare, fintech, construction, legal, real estate, and regulated industries where compliance-readiness is required and getting it wrong isn't an option. Our clients tend to show up in one of three situations: they have a product vision and need someone to build it, they have internal engineering that's stretched too thin, or they have operational complexity that off-the-shelf software simply can't fix. We've handled all three. What we deliver: โข Custom software and SaaS platforms built for scale โข AI implementation and automation built into real workflows โข Web and mobile applications โข Cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and Azure โข Full-stack development across React, Next.js, Node.js, and Python What clients tell us, consistently: we listened, we delivered what we said we would, and they didn't have to babysit us to get there. A healthcare founder went from concept to a live, compliant product in under six weeks. A construction company replaced five fragmented tools with one custom operations platform. A fintech team cut onboarding time in half with an AI-assisted workflow we built in a single sprint. We work best with companies that are big enough to need real software and clear-eyed enough to know that building it wrong the first time costs more than doing it right. If that's where you are, let's talk. ๐บ๐ธ U.S.-based. U.S.-led. Kansas City, MO.

Software developer hiring guide
Software developers are the architects behind the applications and systems that drive modern business operations. From building customer-facing mobile apps to designing complex internal databases, these professionals translate functional requirements into reliable, efficient code. Hiring a skilled developer allows companies to accelerate digital transformation, automate workflows, and create custom solutions tailored to specific business goals.
What does a software developer do?
Software developers design, build, test, and maintain the software systems that power everything from mobile apps to enterprise platforms. Day to day, they write and refine code, troubleshoot bugs, and roll out new features while ensuring that the software is reliable, secure, and efficient.
They often work with programming languages like Python, JavaScript, Java, or C#, depending on the project and platform. Developers might build user-facing tools, back-end systems, or full-stack solutions that integrate both. Beyond coding, they collaborate closely with designers and other stakeholders to align software functionality with business goals.
The most important skills for a software developer include fluency in at least one or two core programming languages and familiarity with frameworks that support rapid development, such as React, Django, or Spring. Understanding how to work with databases โ whether SQL or NoSQL โ is another key skill. Developers must also be able to debug code effectively, optimize performance, and stay up to date with evolving technologies.
Soft skills play a big role in long-term success, too, and strong communication is essential. Many developers also maintain portfolios or GitHub repositories to showcase their projects, and certifications in areas like cloud computing or data structures can act as added proof of their expertise.
How to hire a freelance software developer on Upwork
Finding the right software developer requires a structured approach to connect with talent that matches your technical needs and project goals. Follow these steps to navigate the hiring journey on Upwork efficiently.
Step 1: Craft a targeted job post
The quality of your job post directly influences the caliber of developers who apply. A detailed listing helps you stand out to top talent and reduces time spent reviewing unqualified candidates.
Clearly outline your project goals, preferred tech stack, and expected deliverables; our software developer job description template can help you define the role clearly
Specify the type of application youโre building and the specific problem it solves
List must-have programming languages and frameworks, distinguishing them from nice-to-have skills
Define the project timeline, including key milestones and your preferred start date
If you'd like help turning your requirements into a clear posting, Upwork's Job Post Generator is powered by Uma, Upwork's Mindful AIโข. Describe what you need, and Uma will draft a tailored job post.
Step 2: Filter and evaluate candidates
A systematic approach to reviewing applicants ensures you identify developers whose skills align with your project requirements.
Use Upwork's filters to narrow your search by expertise level, hourly rate, location, and past client ratings
Look for developers with verified work history in projects similar to yours, paying attention to client feedback on code quality
Check portfolios for live links or GitHub repositories that demonstrate clean, documented code
Prioritize candidates who have earned talent badges, indicating strong client satisfaction
Step 3: Interview your top choices
Interviews allow you to assess technical competence and communication style. For developers working on full-stack solutions, specific interview questions can help evaluate their expertise.
Ask candidates about their development process and experience with similar projects; review our software engineer interview questions for guidance
Ask specific technical questions related to your stack. If you need a Java developer, targeted interview questions can help
Discuss their strategy for debugging and testing code
Confirm their availability and preferred communication tools
Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work
Establishing well-defined terms before development begins protects both parties and sets the foundation for successful collaboration.
Choose between fixed-price contracts for defined projects or hourly arrangements for ongoing work; Upwork's contracts and Hourly Payment Protection ensure you only pay for work that meets your standards
Set clear milestones for larger projects with specific deliverables for each payment release
Agree on a code review process and acceptance criteria before work begins
Establish a schedule for regular updates to track progress and address blockers quickly
How much does hiring a software developer cost?
On Upwork, software developer freelancers generally charge between $20 and $100 per hour. Entry-level developers often fall into the $20-$40 per hour range, while highly experienced developers with specialized knowledge can command $100 per hour or more.
The type of project also plays a major role in pricing. A straightforward job like fixing bugs might be completed quickly at a lower cost, whereas building a custom enterprise-grade platform typically requires more time and expertise. Below are typical costs for hiring a software developer on Upwork:

Frequently asked questions
Is hiring a software developer worth it?
Hiring a software developer is worth it when you need custom software solutions or technical expertise that DIY tools can't provide. Professional developers bring specialized skills that allow you to build scalable, secure systems tailored to your business needs.
What's the difference between a software developer and a software engineer?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, software developers typically focus on building specific applications or features, while software engineers apply broader engineering principles to design scalable systems and architecture. In practice, many professionals perform both roles. The distinction matters less than finding someone with the right technical skills and experience for your project.
How long does it take to hire a software developer on Upwork?
You can post a software developer job on Upwork and start receiving proposals within hours. Many clients interview and hire developers within one to three days, depending on project complexity.
What skills should I look for when hiring a software developer?
When hiring a software developer, look for proficiency in relevant programming languages and experience with the specific frameworks your project requires. Beyond coding, prioritize candidates with strong problem-solving abilities, clear communication skills, and a portfolio demonstrating successful past projects.
Can I hire a software developer for a short-term project?
Yes, Upwork allows you to hire developers for projects of any length, from quick bug fixes to multimonth builds. You can set fixed-price contracts for well-defined tasks or hourly arrangements for projects where scope may evolve.
