FAQ
How much does it cost to hire full stack mobile developer in Switzerland?
Senior engineers in Zurich typically earn CHF 110K–140K. Swiss agencies commonly quote CHF 130–200/hr. Typical remote full stack mobile developer projects with me run $35K–$180K depending on scope, billed in CHF or USD on fixed-scope milestones — you approve each milestone before it's built.
Do you work with clients in Switzerland?
Yes. I work remotely with Switzerland founders, product teams, and agencies — from Zurich, Geneva, and Zug to fully distributed teams. English-first communication, contracts via Upwork or a direct SOW.
How does the timezone difference work with Switzerland?
Live overlap across your full business day — roughly 9 AM to 6 PM CET. Weekly demos are scheduled in your hours, and async updates keep the thread moving between them.
How do contracts and invoicing work for CH companies?
Simple cross-border B2B invoicing in CHF, EUR, or USD — no Swiss payroll or social contributions. Payment terms are milestone-based — no large upfront commitments.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do — completely. Work happens in your repositories where possible, IP assignment is written into the SOW, and there is no lock-in: everything is documented so any developer can take over.
Can you ship mobile, web, and AI together?
Yes. React Native + Next.js + Python (FastAPI) + RAG/AI agents under one senior owner — ideal when your Switzerland team needs to ship mobile, web, and AI without coordinating multiple vendors.
What happens after launch?
Most clients keep a monthly care retainer: dependency updates, store submissions, monitoring, and a priority line for fixes and small features. You can also hand off entirely — the documentation is written for that.
