Mira AI

Every CV, read against the stack you named.

Engineering applications are the easiest to inflate and the slowest to read. You write the scorecard once, and every application is scored the moment it arrives, so your shortlist stays current without anyone opening a CV.

Scoring as applications arrive

Scored against your criteria, with the reasoning attached.

Every application is scored against the languages, frameworks, seniority and system scale you named, not against a generic model of a good engineer. Each score arrives with the sentences that produced it, so you can overrule it on the spot.

  • Ranked against named languages, frameworks and system scale
  • Reasoning shown on every score, including the low ones
  • Flags seniority claims that do not match the scope you wrote
  • Re-scores as new applications arrive
Mira AI's highlights overview for an applicant, showing a match score alongside applied date, stage, experience, current company, location and notice period.
Software Development roles

Start from what you are building.

Engineering roles grouped by the job in front of you rather than by job title. Any role you do not see here can still be opened the same way.

You are building a new web product

Start with one full-stack engineer who can own a feature end to end, then split into front-end and back-end once the surface area grows.

  • Full-Stack Developers
  • React Developers
  • Next.js Developers
  • Node.js Developers
  • TypeScript Developers
  • JavaScript Developers
  • MERN Stack Developers
  • UI Developers

You are building a mobile app

Cross-platform is usually the cheaper first move. Go native when you need device APIs, heavy graphics or App Store performance you can defend.

  • React Native Developers
  • Flutter Developers
  • iOS Developers
  • Android Developers
  • Swift Developers
  • Kotlin Developers

You are adding capacity to an existing codebase

Hire for the stack you already run, not the one you wish you had. Match the framework exactly and the ramp-up drops from months to weeks.

  • Python Developers
  • Django Developers
  • Java Developers
  • Spring Boot Developers
  • .NET Developers
  • PHP Developers
  • Laravel Developers
  • Ruby on Rails Developers
  • Golang Developers
  • Angular Developers
  • Vue.js Developers
  • MEAN Stack Developers

You are running an online store or content site

Platform experience matters more than raw engineering here. Someone who has shipped on your platform will move faster than a stronger generalist.

  • Shopify Developers
  • WooCommerce Developers
  • Magento Developers
  • WordPress Developers
  • Webflow Developers

You need to raise quality before a release

A QA hire pays for itself fastest on a team already shipping. Automation only helps once the manual suite is stable enough to be worth encoding.

  • QA Engineers
  • Automation Test Engineers
  • Selenium Testers
  • Performance Test Engineers

You are extending the systems the business already runs on

These are platform specialists rather than general engineers. Years on the platform predict delivery better than the languages listed on a CV.

  • Salesforce Developers
  • SAP Consultants
  • ServiceNow Developers
  • Dynamics 365 Developers
Seniority

Titles inflate. Scope does not.

Titles inflate in the Indian market. Writing the scope into the scorecard filters harder than writing a job title into the ad.

Junior

0 to 2 years

Ships well-specified tickets. Needs code review and a clear definition of done.

Mid-level

3 to 5 years

Owns a feature end to end. This is the deepest band in India and the fastest to fill.

Senior

6 to 9 years

Owns a service or a domain, reviews others, and makes design calls. Notice is usually 60 to 90 days.

Lead / Staff

10 years and up

Sets technical direction across teams. A much smaller pool, and titles inflate here, so scope matters more than the label.

Why Mira AI

AI screening that leaves the decision with you.

It never rejects anyone

Nobody leaves your pipeline because of a score. The one exception is auto-reject for candidates who stop responding, and you switch that on yourself.

It never hides its reasoning

Every score carries the sentences behind it. A number you cannot interrogate is not a decision you can defend to your engineering lead.

It is never the only reader

Move to recruiter-assisted and a technical recruiter in India reviews the shortlist and speaks to everyone you interview.

Keep your own ATS

Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them, or run the whole process here. Both are supported and neither locks you in.

Bring your own applicants

Candidates from your careers page, a GitHub referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours.

Employment stays your choice

Employ the engineer on your own Indian entity, or ask us to be the legal employer if you have none. That is decided at offer stage.

Pricing

Start with the tool. Add reach. Add people.

Every plan includes Mira. What changes is how far your roles travel and how much of the work you hand over.

Base

Free forever

For a team running its own hiring and tired of doing it in spreadsheets.

  • Full pipeline and candidate tracking
  • Your own hosted careers page
  • Mira in Slack, with monthly credits
  • Unlimited open roles

Bespoke

Contingent on a joined hire

Some roles need a person on the phone. Our recruiters take over sourcing and interview coordination, working the pipeline Mira has already built — so you're paying for judgment and conversations, not for admin.

Contingent fee of 10%, 12.5% or 15% of first-year salary, set by role seniority. Under a talent agreement, billed only on a joined hire.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything engineering leads and founders ask before they post a first role.

How do I hire software developers in India?

Open the role with the languages, frameworks, seniority and timezone overlap you need. Mira AI drafts the job description and scorecard, the role reaches our candidate community, and every application is scored against your scorecard as it arrives. You interview the ranked shortlist, and when you are ready to offer, Wisemonk employs the person on your behalf so you do not need an Indian entity.

Which software developers can I hire in India through Wisemonk?

Any engineering role. Front-end, back-end, full-stack, mobile, e-commerce and CMS, QA and test automation, and enterprise platforms such as Salesforce and SAP are the areas we hire for most, and React, Node.js, Python, Java and Flutter are the deepest pools. Roles outside those areas, from Rust and Elixir to embedded and game development, can be opened the same way; the scorecard is built from your brief, not from a fixed list.

How much does it cost to hire a software developer in India?

It depends on seniority, the framework, and the city, and the spread between those is wide: a senior Go engineer in Bengaluru is not benchmarked like a mid-level PHP developer in Ahmedabad. When you post a role, we check your salary band against our own payroll data for engineers in that stack and tell you before it goes live whether the band will fill the role. On top of salary, employer costs in India include provident fund and gratuity, which Wisemonk carries as the legal employer.

How long does it take to hire a developer in India?

Applications start arriving as soon as the role is live, and Mira AI scores them as they come in rather than in a batch later. The start date is set by the notice period rather than by the search: employed engineers commonly serve 30 to 90 days, and senior engineers are often a full 90. Filter for shorter notice when the start date matters more than seniority.

How do you verify that a developer can actually code?

Mira AI scores each application against the scorecard you wrote, which for engineering usually means named languages and frameworks, years at that level, and the scale of systems they have worked on. Every score comes with the sentences that produced it. You still run your own technical rounds, and the workspace holds the scheduling, recordings, take-home feedback and team scorecards in one thread.

Will Indian developers work in US or UK hours?

Partial overlap with the UK and Europe is standard and easy to staff. Full US-hours shifts are a smaller pool, so set the overlap you need when you open the role and only candidates who accept it apply. Most US teams settle on a four to five hour overlap window rather than a full shift, and hire faster for it.

Do I need a company in India to employ a developer there?

No. Wisemonk becomes the legal employer, holds the employment contract, runs payroll, and handles provident fund, gratuity, ESI and income tax withholding. You direct the work day to day. If you already have an Indian entity, you can employ the person on it instead. That is decided at offer stage, not when you post.

Should I hire a developer in India as a contractor or an employee?

Indian law looks at how the work is directed, not at what the contract is called. If you set hours, supply the laptop and manage someone daily, treating them as a contractor carries misclassification risk, and it also affects who owns what they build. Employment through Wisemonk removes that risk without needing your own entity. We can tell you which route fits the role before you offer.

Who owns the code my Indian developers write?

Your company. The employment contract Wisemonk signs on your behalf includes IP assignment and confidentiality terms, so work created in the course of employment belongs to you, not to the developer or to Wisemonk. This is one of the reasons employment is usually safer than a contractor arrangement for engineering roles.

What does senior mean for a software engineer in India?

Roughly six to nine years, owning a service or a domain, reviewing other people's code and making design calls. Titles inflate in the Indian market, so write the scope you need into the scorecard rather than relying on the job title on a CV, and expect senior engineers to sit at the top of the 30 to 90 day notice range.

Can I hire one developer, or do I need a whole team?

One is fine. Most companies open a single role, see who applies, and decide afterwards whether it becomes a team. There is no minimum headcount and nothing committed by opening a role.

Can I use Mira AI with my existing ATS?

Yes. Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them into your own system, or run the whole process here. Candidates from your careers page, a referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours.
