Spring Boot Developers in the UK

For most business-to-business services supplied from outside the UK, the reverse charge applies: you account for the VAT in your own return rather than paying it to us, and it is typically neutral if you are fully recoverable. Our invoices state the position clearly so your accountant is not guessing. If your situation is unusual, for example partial exemption, we would rather your accountant confirms the treatment before we invoice than after.

We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. In practice that means data minimisation designed in rather than bolted on, a documented lawful basis for each processing activity, retention periods that actually delete, subject access and erasure handled as features rather than manual database work, and hosting in a region you approve. Where we process personal data on your behalf we sign a processor agreement setting out exactly that.

Yes, and it is scoped from the start because retrofitting accessibility is considerably more expensive than building it in. We work to WCAG 2.2 AA, test with a screen reader rather than relying on an automated scan, and produce the accessibility statement the regulations require. Automated tools catch perhaps a third of real issues, which is why the manual pass is not optional.

We are happy to contract under English law with the courts of England and Wales, and most UK clients prefer that. IR35 does not apply to us: it governs individuals working through an intermediary, and you are engaging a company for a defined deliverable rather than a person for their time. Your accountant will want to see that the contract reflects that, and ours does.

Spring Boot is a newer service line for us, and we say so plainly. Our daily backend work is Node.js and Laravel/PHP on PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and AWS. The transferable part (API design, data modelling, automated testing, CI/CD, and security) is core to how we already work, and the JVM-specific depth comes from vetted Spring Boot specialists our senior team screens and reviews. If your project truly needs a deep, long-standing Spring Boot house with a big Java bench, we will tell you that honestly rather than take the work and learn on your budget.

Senior JVM and Spring Boot rates in India typically run about £6.3to £36per hour depending on seniority and scope, and a full-time dedicated developer usually starts around £630per month, higher for senior architects. For defined work (a new API, a service to extract, an integration) we quote a flat INR figure with GST included, paid against milestones, so there are no hourly surprises. International clients are quoted the equivalent in USD, GBP, CAD, or AED.

Choose a fixed-price project when the backend scope is clear and you want a known number and a known date. Choose a dedicated developer when the roadmap is still moving and you want to direct the work sprint by sprint on a rolling monthly contract you can stop anytime. Choose staff augmentation when you already have a team and a tech lead and just need vetted hands inside your process. Many clients start with a small fixed-price build to test the working relationship, then move to a dedicated developer or augmentation once they trust the output.

Every engineer clears a live coding and system-design screen with our senior team plus a hands-on Spring Boot task, not a quiz, before you ever see them. You then interview the shortlist yourself and pick who joins. Once they start, our lead reviews their pull requests as a standing backstop, so the code-review and testing bar is the same one we hold on our own projects. The person you interview is the person who does the work, no substitutions after you sign.

New work defaults to Spring Boot 3.x on Java 21 LTS, with Kotlin where you prefer it, Spring Data JPA and Hibernate for the data layer, Flyway or Liquibase for migrations, and Spring Security with OAuth2 and JWT. Builds run on Maven or Gradle, ship in Docker to AWS, and use JUnit 5 with Testcontainers for tests. We will happily maintain or upgrade an existing Spring Boot 2 or Java 8/11 system, but we do not start fresh projects on end-of-life versions unless there is a hard constraint forcing it.
