An Intermediate Android Developer owns features end-to-end and runs releases through Play Console. An Expert Android Developer owns app architecture and stability and builds complex hardware integrations. We usually recommend Intermediate.

It stays under your rules: your admin settings and AI policy apply. Our talent rules ban client data in personal or free AI accounts, and passwords, card numbers, health details and ID numbers never go into any AI tool.

Only when you and your person both agree to it in advance. Otherwise they work the hours you set, and you pay for the hours they log.

You aren't charged for hours your person doesn't work, apart from paid leave. After their third month, your person earns 8 hours of paid leave a month. Paid leave hours are charged at their usual rate.
