What does a remote Back-End Developer handle?
+
A Kuubiik-assigned Back-End Developer handles the server side of your product - building APIs, managing databases, writing business logic, and ensuring your application runs securely and at scale. Common frameworks include Node.js, Django, Laravel, and Ruby on Rails. They work closely with your front-end team to ensure seamless integration. Kuubiik manages all contracts, compliance, and payments.
How long does onboarding take for a Back-End Developer?
+
Most clients are up and running within 15 to 30 calendar days. Once you share your requirements, Kuubiik shortlists up to three vetted profiles. You choose your preferred fit, and Kuubiik manages contracts, background checks, and setup.
Who owns the server-side code and databases developed?
+
Everything produced by your developer belongs to you. IP is assigned to your business upon full payment as set out in Kuubiik's Master Service Agreement - covering all code, APIs, and any other deliverables.
What if the developer does not perform as expected?
+
Replacements are free and unlimited. One day's written notice in the first two months, two weeks after that. Kuubiik will shortlist up to three new profiles, with replacements typically ready within 15 to 45 days. No extra fees.
What countries can I source a remote Back-End Developer from?
+
Remote Back-End Developers are sourced from Southeast Asia and Latin America (LATAM). For technical roles, Southeast Asia is particularly strong - the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia all have deep developer talent pools with solid English proficiency. LATAM (Colombia, Brazil, Argentina) is a strong fit if you need timezone overlap with the US. When you share your brief, the right region gets factored in automatically.
What does the monthly fee include when outsourcing a Back-End Developer?
+
The monthly fee covers everything on the engagement management side - your Back-End Developer's compensation, contract setup, compliance administration, and monthly payments. There are no recurring admin fees on top. The only upfront cost is a one-time deposit equivalent to one month's fee. Any cloud infrastructure costs, tools, or software licences are separate and remain under your control.
How is outsourcing a Back-End Developer different from using a freelance platform?
+
Outsourcing a Back-End Developer through a Contractor of Record model gives you a dedicated, full-time professional working exclusively for your business - not a freelancer splitting attention across multiple clients. Contracts, compliance, and monthly payments are fully managed, so there is no admin overhead on your side. You also get free, unlimited replacements if the fit is not right. For businesses that need consistent, reliable output rather than project-by-project engagements, the dedicated model is almost always the more predictable choice.
