Hire Dedicated Developers in Kazakhstan: market overview
Kaspi's super-app model, the Astana International Financial Centre and energy companies drive demand for fintech, crypto and enterprise software. Within that market, hire dedicated developers is one of the engagements we are asked for most often.
Demand is strongest across Fintech, Energy and Crypto (AIFC), and every engagement is shaped by local regulation, payment habits and working hours rather than a one-size-fits-all template.

How key sectors in Kazakhstan use hire dedicated developers
Hire Dedicated Developers for Fintech
Fintech businesses in Kazakhstan usually need secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting.

Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.

For them, our hire dedicated developers typically starts with backend developers (node.js, Python, .NET, Java and Laravel engineers) and adds devops & cloud as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on asset uptime and mean time to repair.
Hire Dedicated Developers for Crypto (AIFC)
