    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does it cost to hire a senior software developer?

    The cost to hire a senior software developer depends on many factors, including the developers’ location, cooperation model, and other unique project needs. The major cost factor is the geographic location of developers. Thus, the rates of senior software developers in Western developed countries are higher than in Eastern Europe. For example, US-based developers will charge $150-$200 per hour, while Ukrainian software developers – from $45 to $100 per hour. Senior developers price more as they are more competent in producing outstanding results. 

    At Northell, we focus on flexibility and long-term cooperation with our customers. Thus, we offer various pricing models (hourly rate or project-based) and hiring models (full-cycle product development, IT staff augmentation) to best match your requirements, engagement needs, and available project resources. Either way, you can ask our managers to estimate your hiring needs anytime! Contact us. 

    What skills to look for when hiring senior software developers?

    The type of development team you want to create and the seniority level of specialists you engage in your project directly affect your development progress and the quality of project outcomes. Moreover, recruiting senior software engineers can be challenging if you don’t have experience and technical background. Thus, we have prepared a list of skills to look for in a senior software engineer. 

    • Proficiency in two or more programming languages: Java, C#,.Net, etc.
    • Hands-on experience with software development
    • Solid understanding of front-end and back-end frameworks, programming, and markup languages, including HTML, CSS, PHP, Node.js, React.js, and others 
    • Good knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP) and languages, such as C++, Java, Python 
    • Proficiency in software testing (unit testing, integration testing, system testing) and debugging
    • Experience working with Agile development methodologies
    • Good in time management, communication and problem-solving
    • High-level managerial and project management skills   

    What questions to ask when hiring senior software developers?

    Any professional recruiter and project manager know how important it is to find the right developers who will influence the success of your project. While the questions may vary depending on your company’s and project needs, our respected professionals have identified three must-have questions to ask senior software developers during interview sessions in any case.

    1. What’s important when writing code? Is there any security concern? 
    2. What programming languages do you prefer? Object-oriented or functional? 
    3. How do you ensure the software quality? What is your approach to testing, and what special tools do you use?  

    What tasks are senior software developers responsible for?

    Hiring senior software developers are only possible by writing a good job description with the responsibilities you expect from a new employee. The role of senior software developers is managerial in nature; they lead the development team with all software development tasks and mentor junior developers. The main mission of senior software developers is to ensure that projects are completed according to specifications on time, quality and budget. 

    So, the primary responsibilities of senior software developers are: 

    • Meet the development managers to discuss software projects 
    • Conduct feasibility studies for software systems 
    • Design new software programs, websites, and apps 
    • Write advanced ad high-quality programming code 
    • Review updated software systems 
    • Write development reports 
    • Create technical documents for new software programs 
    • Assign tasks to junior developers, including coding, testing, analytics, and debugging 
    • Manage project timelines and tasks
    • Train staff on software use

    How do you test the hard skills of senior software developers?

    Northell tests the hard skills of senior software developers based on live-coding interviews and tests for software development knowledge and proficiency in numerous technologies and tools. Every senior software developer goes through the test comprising at least 5 questions in 5 areas, including project management, engineering excellence, communication, people, and specialization. 

    Our tech leads also prepare a real-time programming assignment to check developers’ skills in real-time. This is a short task with a specific development challenge that senior developers have to solve in a certain period of time. Only upon successfully completing all tests, we send a job offer with a trial period of 3 months.
