Freelance developers on 202 Collective build and maintain software: web applications, APIs, integrations, mobile apps and the infrastructure underneath them. Browse profiles, read what each person has actually shipped, and contact them directly.
"Developer" covers a wide range of work, and the difference matters when you are hiring. Someone who builds marketing sites is not necessarily the right person for a payments integration, and an infrastructure specialist may not be the person to design your onboarding flow.
The profiles below list the specific technologies each person works in, alongside their portfolio and any external platform profiles they keep. Start from the problem you need solved rather than the job title, and shortlist on evidence of similar work.
A short checklist that makes the quotes you receive comparable and the work easier to run.
What does it cost to hire a freelance developer? Rates vary by specialisation, seniority and where the person is based. Profiles on 202 Collective show an hourly rate or service packages when the freelancer has chosen to publish one, and you can ask for a quote for a fixed scope. The platform takes 0% commission, so the rate you agree is the rate that is paid.
Do I need to know what technology I need? No. Describe the outcome and the constraints you already have — an existing site, a deadline, a budget range — and let candidates tell you what they would use and why. If two developers propose very different approaches, ask each to explain the trade-off.
Can I hire someone outside Australia? Yes. 202 Collective is Australia-first but built for remote work, and many freelancers here work with clients in other time zones. Profiles show remote availability and location at a city or region level.
How do I contact a developer? Every public profile has a contact action. You will need a free client account to send the first message, which keeps the platform usable and keeps freelancers from being cold-emailed by bots.
Post the project and let matching freelancers come to you, or approach someone from the list above directly.
