HIRE DEVELOPERS / DESKTOP DEVELOPERS
Cross-platform desktop development and native desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux — from Electron-based productivity tools to native C++ and Qt software. We only send you developers who've shipped real production desktop apps, not ones who learned installer packaging from a blog post yesterday.
Desktop development is a niche skill. Most developers work on web or mobile — finding someone who genuinely understands OS integrations, native APIs, installer packaging, and cross-platform build pipelines is hard. We've shipped real production desktop software, not just side projects.
Every desktop developer we place clears coding tests, a system design interview, and a portfolio review of real shipped work before we'll put them in front of you — real experience, not just a polished resume.
A six-week recruitment cycle costs more than the developer does. Most clients have a desktop developer working within days of the discovery call — no endless interview rounds standing in the way.
Full-time, part-time, or hourly — whatever stage your desktop build is at, there's a model sized for it instead of one option you have to make work.
Every model below is staff augmentation at its core — you get the developer, we handle sourcing and vetting. Pick the hours that match your project.
A dedicated developer working exclusively on your desktop build for 160 hours a month — the model for teams that need consistent, deep involvement, not a part-time favor.
80 hours a month of focused desktop development support, sized for a defined feature set or ongoing maintenance rather than a full build.
Consulting-style desktop development support billed in 40-hour blocks that don't expire — built for short projects and on-demand needs, not long commitments.
Staff augmentation, a fully managed dedicated development team, or something in between — pick the model that matches how your team already works.
We run the entire desktop development process — planning, execution, delivery — so your team stays focused on everything else. A full dedicated development team, not just a developer dropped into a Slack channel.
You keep full control; our desktop developer works inside your existing team and reports to your engineering lead. Classic staff augmentation for teams that already have the process figured out.
Your in-house team plus our specialists, sharing the same standups and design reviews. Built for complex desktop builds that need skills your team doesn't have in-house yet.
Electron, Chromium, .NET, and Qt — pick the framework your build needs, and we'll match a desktop developer who's actually shipped in it.
Hire Electron developers for cross-platform desktop apps built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. One codebase across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Hire Chromium developers for custom desktop browsers and Chromium-based applications. Source-level work, not a wrapper around an existing browser.
Hire .NET and WPF developers for native Windows desktop applications built with C#, the standard framework for enterprise Windows software.
Hire Qt developers for native, high-performance cross-platform desktop applications built with C++.
The parts of desktop application development that separate a real desktop developer from a web developer with Electron installed.
Barcode scanners, serial ports, USB peripherals, HID-compliant devices. Desktop apps that talk to real hardware, not just a browser tab.
Existing Windows Forms, VB.NET, or aging Qt codebases brought forward without a full rewrite, unless the architecture genuinely needs one.
System tray, file associations, native notifications, and installer packaging (NSIS, WiX, DMG, AppImage) that make an app feel like it belongs on the OS instead of visiting it.
Adjacent surfaces we ship together with desktop work — same bench, same standard.
Questions we get on every first call. If yours isn't here, it'll be the first thing we cover.
Tell us what you're building and what platform it needs to run on. We'll match a desktop developer — or a full dedicated development team — who's actually shipped something like it.
