Contractors

Work with us on real products.

We bring in independent engineers and designers when a project needs extra craft. Project-based, paid on delivery — not a full-time hire, and not staff-aug for a client to manage.

How collaboration works

You stay independent. We match you to a scoped piece of work, you ship it with our team, and we pay against agreed milestones. Communication is in English, overlap with US and UK hours is a plus, and we expect the same craft we hold our in-house team to.

  • Real productsYou work on apps and platforms that ship to stores and real users — not throwaway prototypes.
  • Clear scopeMilestones, rate, and delivery dates are written down before you start.
  • Paid on deliveryInvoices follow accepted milestones. No “equity instead of pay” and no unpaid trials.
  • Direct with the studioYou collaborate with Blueshark leads, not a chain of vendors.

FAQ

Questions before you send.

View all FAQs →
Is this a full-time job?

No. Contractor work is project-based. For full-time roles in Ahmedabad, see the Careers page.

Do I work directly with your clients?

You work with Blueshark. We remain the studio of record; you collaborate with our leads on the scoped work.

Where can contractors be based?

Remote is fine if you overlap enough hours for stand-ups and reviews. Ahmedabad / India overlap is easiest; US and UK overlap is a plus.

When do you pay?

Against accepted milestones, on the schedule we write into the agreement before work starts. We do not run unpaid trials.
