What desktop software development work involves

Typical engagements include building or extending web apps, integrating third-party APIs and payment providers, migrating legacy code, and picking up maintenance on an existing codebase. A lot of the work is remote-first and asynchronous, so clear written updates matter as much as the code.

How to win this work on goLance

Lead with a portfolio link and one specific, relevant thing you have shipped — not a list of every language you have touched. Clients scanning a dozen proposals respond to evidence. If the brief names a stack, address that stack in your first sentence.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a full-stack developer?

No. Plenty of briefs are scoped to a single layer — a front-end build, an API integration, a database migration. Specialists often convert better than generalists because the match is obvious.

Are these jobs hourly or fixed-price?

Both. goLance clients post each job as one or the other, and the pay type is shown on every listing below.

How quickly do software jobs get filled?

Postings stay open for roughly 30 days, and the busiest briefs collect applicants within the first few days. Applying early materially helps.
