Hire Angular Developers
Angular is rarely chosen for a weekend project. It is chosen for applications with many screens, many forms and several teams, which are expected to last a long time. Such applications fall behind on versions, collect RxJS subscriptions that never close, and grow modules nobody dares to touch. Our Angular developers spend most of their time in code like that.
The engineer is added to your repository, your board and your review process, and takes direction from your lead. We employ them, equip them and provide cover. You speak to the person who writes the components.
Angular work you can pass to us
These six cover most of what arrives. Angular projects differ more in age than in kind.
Version upgrades
Moving an application forward several major versions with ng update, one major at a time, fixing the breaking changes at each stop. Includes third-party libraries that were abandoned along the way and need replacing.
AngularJS to Angular
Support for AngularJS ended at the start of 2022. We migrate screen by screen, running old and new side by side where a single rewrite is too risky, and retire the 1.x code as each route is replaced.
Standalone components and signals
Converting NgModule-based code to standalone components, adopting the built-in control flow, and using signals where they simplify state. Done feature by feature, never as one enormous merge.
Forms-heavy screens
Typed reactive forms with cross-field validation, dynamic sections, async validators and error messages a person can act on. The long onboarding or claims form that has to save drafts and survive a refresh.
Change detection and bundle size
Finding why a grid re-renders on every keystroke, moving components to OnPush, lazy-loading routes, deferring heavy views, and cutting libraries that were imported whole for one function.
State and API layers
NgRx or a signal-based store, HTTP interceptors for tokens and errors, and API clients generated from an OpenAPI description so that front end and back end cannot drift apart silently.
Libraries our Angular developers work with
Angular brings its own router, forms and HTTP client. The rest is chosen per project from the following.

Matching Angular seniority to the job
Angular has a steep start, so levels differ mainly in how much of the framework a person can use without looking it up, and in how well they understand RxJS.
Junior
Builds components, templates and simple services inside an existing structure. Comfortable with inputs, outputs and the router. Still needs help with observables that combine several streams.
Choose when: a senior Angular developer on your side reviews each pull request.
Mid-level
Delivers a complete feature: lazy-loaded route, typed forms, store, unit tests. Knows when to unsubscribe and when the async pipe does it for them. Handles a single version upgrade alone.
Choose when: your architecture is settled and the backlog is what needs attention.
Senior
Designs the workspace: library boundaries, shared components, state strategy, build and release pipeline. Plans a multi-version upgrade or an AngularJS migration and can defend the order of steps.
Choose when: the application is large, behind on versions, or shared between several teams.
Starting with an Angular developer
Tell us the version and the pain
The Angular version in package.json, the size of the application and what is going wrong are enough. Read access to the repository lets us answer more precisely.
A named engineer is proposed
You get the profile of one person and a call with them. Put technical questions to them directly. Should the fit be wrong, we put forward somebody else.
A trial piece of work
Pick a real ticket of modest size, such as one component or one failing test suite. It goes through your review like any other change.
Weekly reporting, monthly billing
Work stays on your board. A written summary each week lists what was merged and what is stuck. You receive a single invoice per month.
Angular developer pricing
Our rates are published. Pick the role and move the sliders for an indicative budget.

*160 hrs/month full-time. Rates are indicative for planning, in UAE dirhams (converted from our US-dollar rates at the fixed peg of 3.6725), before VAT where applicable, and depend on seniority, contract length and timezone overlap. Longer engagements and multi-role teams are discounted — ask.
Does this arrangement match your situation?
We are a good choice when
- Your Angular application is in daily use and several versions behind.
- You have more tickets than Angular developers, and recruiting locally is slow.
- Your back-end team is strong and the front end has become the bottleneck.
- You are a software house that needs extra Angular hands on a client project.
Look elsewhere when
- You want a small marketing site. Angular is the wrong tool and we would say so.
- The brief is to rewrite everything by a date already fixed. We will not name a date before reading the code.
- You need the developer physically in your building.
- Nobody on your side can make product decisions during the week.
Angular questions we hear most
How far behind can our version be?
As far as it is. Upgrades are done one major version at a time because the official migrations assume that order. We tell you which steps are mechanical and which need manual work, usually the ones where a library you depend on stopped being maintained.
Should we move to signals and drop RxJS?
Not wholesale. Signals suit state that a template reads. RxJS still fits streams of events such as typeahead search or websockets. Most applications end up with both, and we convert only where the code gets simpler.
Is a complete rewrite from AngularJS necessary?
The code must be replaced, but not in one go. A hybrid setup lets new Angular routes run beside the old ones so the product keeps shipping. For a small application a clean rebuild can cost less, and we estimate both routes.
Can you add tests to an application that has none?
Yes. We start with the services and components that are about to change, and add browser tests for the few journeys that must never break, such as login and checkout.
Does the code belong to us?
Entirely. It is pushed to your repository under your organisation, and the agreement states that ownership, together with confidentiality terms, before work begins.
What happens if our developer leaves PWTECH?
We find a replacement and you approve them, the same way as at the start. Because work and notes are in your repository, the new person reads in from there.
Describe your Angular application
Tell us the Angular version, roughly how many screens there are, and what you want done first. A short paragraph is enough. We reply within one business day.
