Hire a Database Developer

A dedicated database developer who learns your data before touching it

You get one database developer embedded in your team, working your tickets and your stack on US-hours overlap. Hourly or monthly, you decide how much time. The same person stays with you, so they actually learn your schema instead of guessing at it every sprint.

How the Engagement Works

Schema your app can grow into

A data model designed around how your app reads and writes, not a textbook normal form. We map the access patterns first, then decide where to normalize and where a denormalized table saves you ten joins.

Queries that stop timing out

Most slow pages trace back to three or four bad queries, not the whole database. Your developer reads the actual EXPLAIN plans, adds the right indexes, and rewrites the offenders instead of throwing hardware at the problem.

Migrations that do not lose data

Schema changes on a live table can lock writes and take a busy app down. We script migrations with rollback steps, test them against a copy of your data, and run them in a window you approve.

ETL pipelines you can trust

When data moves between systems, the bugs hide in edge cases: nulls, duplicates, timezone drift. We build ETL jobs with validation at each step so a bad source row gets flagged, not silently written into your reports.

Backups you have actually restored

A backup nobody has restored is a guess. Your developer sets up a recovery process and runs a test restore, so you know how long it takes to come back before the day you need it.

A read on where it breaks next

Once the immediate fires are out, you get a plain list of what will hurt as your row counts climb: tables missing indexes, queries scanning everything, jobs that will choke at ten times the load.

Why Hire from Aneri Developers

The same developer, sprint after sprint

The person who designed your schema is the person tuning it three months later. No silent swaps, no handing your project to whoever is free that week. Continuity is the whole reason this model beats a rotating help desk.

Your code is yours on day one

Every schema, migration script, and query your developer writes belongs to you from the first commit. It lives in your repository and your database, not ours. You owe us nothing for the work itself once it is written.

Overlap during your working hours

We are based in India, and our developers hold a daily block of overlap with US Eastern and Pacific hours. You can hop on a call, pair on a tricky query, or get a same-day answer. The rest of their day moves your work forward while you are offline.

NDA and contract before access

We sign your NDA and a working contract before your developer touches a single connection string. Production credentials, data handling, and scope are written down first. If your legal team needs a redline pass, that is normal and we expect it.

A real replacement if the fit is wrong

If the developer is not working out, tell us and we will match you with someone else and cover the handoff. We would rather move a person than have you quietly disengage. It does not happen often, but the door is there.

Weekly updates you can see

You get a visible record every week: tickets closed, what is in progress, and what is blocked. We work through your board, whether that is Jira, Linear, or a shared Notion page. No status meeting required to know where things stand.

Engagement Models

Full-Time

176 hrs/month

One database developer focused on your team alone, full working days through the month. The right call when you have steady schema work, ongoing tuning, and pipelines to maintain.

Part-Time

88 hrs/month

Half a developer's month, useful when you need real database depth but not a full-time seat. Good for a smaller app that still hits the occasional query wall.

Hourly

Flexible

Pay for the hours you actually use. Best when the work comes in bursts: a migration this week, a round of query tuning next month, then quiet for a while.

Team Hire

More than one developer when a single database person cannot cover the load. We scope the mix with you, whether that is two database developers or one paired with a backend engineer.

How to Hire a Database Developer

From first contact to your developer writing code — here is how it works.

Get Started
1

First Conversation

We start with a call about your actual database: how big it is, where it hurts, and what stack it runs on. You leave knowing whether we are a fit before any paperwork. If your problem is really a backend or infra issue in disguise, we will say so.

2

Matching You With a Developer

We put forward a developer whose background lines up with your work, heavy Postgres tuning is different from MongoDB modeling. You talk to them directly, not a sales rep. If the match feels off after that call, we go back and find a better one.

3

First Week Onboarding

Your developer spends the first days reading your schema, your slow query logs, and how your app talks to the database. NDA and access are sorted before this starts. By the end of the week you get a short note on what they found and where they would start.

4

First Sprint Plan

We turn that first read into a concrete plan for the opening sprint, with you setting the priorities. Usually that means fixing the queries causing visible pain first, then the structural work underneath. Nothing risky touches production without your sign-off.

5

Weekly Delivery Rhythm

From there it settles into a steady cadence: work through your board, weekly written updates, and a call whenever you want one. Your developer joins your standups if you run them. You always know what they did and what is next.

What Our Database Developers Can Build

Schema design for new apps and reshaping existing models that have drifted
Query optimization by reading EXPLAIN plans, not guessing at indexes
Indexing strategy that speeds reads without dragging down every write
Database migrations with tested rollback steps and approved run windows
ETL pipelines that validate, dedupe, and flag bad rows before they land
Tuning across both SQL engines like PostgreSQL and MySQL and NoSQL stores like MongoDB
Replication, backup, and tested recovery so a restore is a known quantity
Cleaning up data quality issues: orphaned rows, inconsistent types, silent duplicates

Frequently Asked Questions

You pay for the hours your developer logs against your work, tracked openly so you can see where time goes. There is no minimum block to buy into. It suits teams whose database work comes and goes, a migration one week and tuning the next, rather than a constant full-time load.

Our developers are in India and hold a fixed daily overlap with US Eastern and Pacific business hours. That window is for calls, pairing, and quick back-and-forth on Slack or Zoom. Outside it, the work keeps moving, so you often wake up to progress on what you handed off the night before.

If you have one small schema change and no ongoing data work, this model is more than you need; a short project engagement fits better. It also will not help if your real bottleneck is application code or server capacity rather than the database. We will tell you on the first call if that is what we hear.

Yes. The developer who learns your schema is the one who keeps working it, so the context compounds instead of resetting. We do not rotate people behind the scenes to balance our own staffing. If a change is ever needed, you hear about it from us first, not after the fact.

That is most of what we see, and it is fine. Your developer starts by mapping what exists, missing indexes, tables that grew without a plan, queries nobody dares touch, before changing anything. The cleanup happens in safe, reviewed steps so the app stays up while it gets better.

You do, completely, from the first commit. Everything lives in your repository and your database, and we hold no claim on it. We have operated this way with clients across 20 plus countries since 2015, and clear IP ownership is part of the contract we sign before work begins.
