Hire MySQL Developers Who Optimize Every Query

Our hiring process pre-vets every candidate for SQL proficiency, database administration knowledge, and cultural fit. We ensure only the most qualified and compatible database engineers are presented for your consideration.

In many cases, we can match you with a single developer within a few weeks. Larger teams take longer, depending on the skill sets and number of engineers required.

Yes. You can start with one MySQL developer or ramp up a dedicated database team, then adjust headcount up or down as your data requirements evolve.

The cost to hire a MySQL developer varies by location, seniority, and engagement model. Typical hourly rates range from $26–45 per hour, with an average around $33 per hour. Full-time MySQL developers typically earn $60,000–$100,000 annually, with an average around $75,000 per year.

Freelance platforms can connect you with MySQL developers, but you're on the hook for sourcing, vetting, and managing the work. X-Team is different. We provide you with fully committed, pre-vetted developers who integrate into your stack, tools, and culture for the long haul.

You do, as long as payment is current. All database schemas and configurations created by X-Team developers are fully yours, protected under clean work-for-hire and IP assignment agreements.

X-Team developers adopt your repositories, boards, frameworks, and rituals from day one—joining stand-ups, code reviews, and sprint planning just like any in-house teammate.

We'll resolve the issue quickly, whether through feedback or replacing the developer. Our goal is long-term cultural fit, not just quick placement.

X-Team's model is async-first, but we prioritize overlap with your core hours and match you with developers who can collaborate in real time where it matters.

MySQL developers provided by X-Team follow your existing review and testing pipelines, use secure company-issued devices, and comply with best practices for credentials and access.

X-Team manages the full operational layer so you can scale globally without the legal or logistical friction. We handle onboarding, contracts, NDAs, and background checks. We ensure every developer is properly classified and compliant in their country of residence. You receive a single, simple invoice—no paperwork overload, no surprises.

We'll sign an MSA that covers the terms of our work together. After that, our minimum engagement for a contracted scope of work is 3 months.
