Define the work before the role
Instead of starting with only a job title, define the product area, current blockers, technology stack, and expected weekly outcomes. This makes it easier to choose the right developer profile.
Keep communication simple
A dedicated developer works best with a clear backlog, regular check-ins, and a single decision owner. Too many scattered instructions can slow delivery.
Review outcomes, not just hours
Track completed tasks, released improvements, fixed issues, and business progress. This keeps the engagement practical and transparent.
