Hire remote developers for New Zealand businesses
Opacify works with businesses in New Zealand remotely from India. The time gap is large, so most of your overlap falls late in your afternoon.
Hire Remote Developers Starting at $5/Hour
Skilled developers. Flexible hiring. Reliable delivery.
How your working day lines up with ours
1 hour 30 minutes shared per working day
Auckland is 7 hours 30 minutes ahead of India. A 9 AM to 6 PM day in Auckland overlaps our 9 AM to 7 PM India hours by 1 hour 30 minutes.
Enough for a daily stand-up and a handover. Sharing four hours with your day would mean a developer starting at 6:30 AM India time.
It is 7:12 PM in Auckland and 11:42 AM in India.
Based on a 9 AM to 6 PM day for you, and our office hours of 9 AM to 7 PM India time. Need different hours? Say so in your brief, and we confirm what is possible before you commit.
Working with Opacify from New Zealand
New Zealand businesses generally call this an offshore team. You add India-based developers to your own team or build a dedicated one, with handover at the end of your day.
- Shared working days
- Monday to Friday. Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM India time.
- Billing currency
- If you would like to be billed in NZD, say so in your brief and we confirm what is possible in your proposal.
- Data protection to raise
- If developers will handle personal data, mention the Privacy Act 2020. Please take your own advice on what applies to you.
- Contracts and procurement
- The Privacy Act 2020 has rules about sending personal information overseas. Tell us what data developers would see, so access can be planned around it.
