Senior Three.js Developers in Nepal — Ready to Embed in Your Team
We are Nepal's first dedicated WebGL studio. Hire vetted Three.js, react-three-fiber, and shader engineers from Kathmandu — project-based, retainer, or embedded into your existing team. Same engineering bar as London or San Francisco at a fraction of the rate. NDA-friendly, white-label, async-disciplined.
Most of the world's senior Three.js talent sits in five cities — London, Berlin, Paris, NYC, and San Francisco — and bills $180–$260/hour. We've spent the last four years building the bench in Kathmandu: developers who've shipped production WebGL for DTC brands, automotive OEMs, museums, and creative agencies. They write the same kind of clean r3f, the same kind of careful shader, the same kind of bandwidth-tight asset pipeline — at 25–35% of the cost, on a time zone that overlaps with London mornings, Singapore afternoons, and NYC evenings.
Our Three.js bench, in numbers
These are aggregate stats across the senior engineers on our roster as of Q2 2026. Every developer we put forward has shipped at least three production scenes that survive Google Lighthouse and a real-world traffic load.
The math, in three lines
A senior Three.js engineer in London bills £140/hour. The same role in San Francisco bills $200/hour. Our Kathmandu seniors bill $38–55/hour — and they're senior in the literal sense: 5+ years writing Three.js, 8+ years writing TypeScript, and at least three production WebGL launches under their belt before we put them on your team.
The gap doesn't exist because Nepal is a bargain bin — Kathmandu rents are 8% of SF, salaries are 18% of London, and good engineers earn excellent Nepali livings at our rates. The gap exists because economies are not yet flat. While that's still true, you can hire the same bar at a quarter of the cost. It will not be true forever. Lock the talent in now.
- ✓Senior bar: 5+ years Three.js, 8+ years JavaScript / TypeScript
- ✓Communication-first hiring: written briefs, video walk-throughs, async stand-ups
- ✓Time-zone overlap with EMEA mornings, APAC afternoons, US evenings
- ✓English fluency at the level of any London / NYC office
- ✓NDA and IP-assignment templates ready to sign before kickoff
Senior Three.js: $38–55/hr · Mid-level: $26–34/hr · Lead architect: $58–72/hr. We don't mark up — that's what the engineer actually earns minus a flat 18% ops overhead for HR, payroll, equipment, and project support.
Eight skill axes the senior bench has shipped in production
Three.js is a kit, not a framework. The bench depth matters: anyone can render a cube; you want engineers who've fought the long fights with frustum culling, draw-call batching, and Safari iOS lock-ups. Here's what ours actually have done at scale.
react-three-fiber + drei
Declarative scene graphs, Suspense-based streaming load, Zustand state, useFrame loop discipline. We've shipped r3f apps that lock 60 FPS on a Pixel 6a with 47 active draw calls and 8 PBR materials.
Custom GLSL shaders
Bespoke fragment & vertex shaders for materials, post-processing, particle systems, fluid sims, and procedural geometry. Compute shaders via WebGPU where supported.
Asset pipeline
Blender → glTF → Draco / Meshopt compression, KTX2 / BasisU textures, baked PBR, LOD switching, sprite-sheet animations.
WebXR / AR
WebXR scenes, Apple QuickLook USDZ generation, model-viewer fallback, six-DoF tracking with Hit-test.
Performance forensics
Chrome Performance + Spector.js + RenderDoc profiling, draw-call batching, GPU instancing, frustum culling, Workerized loading.
Post-processing & effects
Three.js EffectComposer, postprocessing-effects, custom bloom/DoF/SSAO. Optional pmndrs effects integration.
Physics & interaction
rapier / cannon-es / OIMO integration, raycaster-driven interactions, drag controls, gesture-to-3D mapping.
Production hardening
Sentry error capture, GA4 scene-event tracking, Lighthouse CI gates, CDN configuration for GLTFs, error boundaries with image fallbacks.
Senior Three.js hourly rate, four cities
Public-source averages for 2026, Senior IC level (5+ years Three.js, 8+ years JS/TS). Includes typical agency markup where applicable.
Four ways to actually hire the team
We've structured engagement to match how product teams and agencies actually work — not to lock you into a year of retainer for a four-week sprint.
Embedded engineer (3-month min)
One or more senior Three.js engineers joins your existing team as if you'd hired them yourself. Same Slack, same Linear/Jira, same stand-ups, same code review. You manage them day-to-day; we handle payroll, HR, equipment, and back-fill if anyone gets sick. Three-month minimum, 30-day notice after that.
- Senior IC seat
- Your tooling, your repo
- 30-day exit notice after month 3
- Back-fill guarantee
- Quarterly review
Fixed-price project
We scope, you sign a milestone plan, we deliver. Typical price range: $18k–$120k. Configurators, scroll scenes, virtual showrooms, AR-bridging experiences. 40/30/30 payment split: deposit, vertical-slice review, launch.
- Written milestone plan
- Fixed price + scope
- 40/30/30 payment
- Source code yours from day one
- 30-day post-launch warranty
Monthly retainer (rolling)
A set number of senior-Three.js hours per month, drawn down across whatever work you have — performance audits, ongoing feature builds, scene maintenance, on-call. 30-day notice both ways. Sweet spot is 60–120 hours/month.
- Set hours, draw down anytime
- Rolls over up to 25%
- 30-day notice both ways
- Optional on-call coverage
- Monthly written report
Performance audit (one-week sprint)
Inherited a slow Three.js project? We profile, write a fix plan, optionally execute the top 5 fixes. Fixed price: $6,800. Deliverables: written audit report, Lighthouse before/after, prioritised backlog. Often pays for itself in the first month of CWV improvements.
- 1-week sprint
- $6,800 fixed price
- Written audit + fix backlog
- Top-5 fixes optional
- Lighthouse before/after report
Active client distribution by geography
Snapshot of the current book of business. Most international work comes through agency referrals — once one art director has worked with us, they tend to bring the next project too.
How a hiring engagement actually moves
Fast — because that's the point of remote, vetted talent. Most embeds go from first call to first commit in under three weeks.
- 01Discovery call (60 min)We map your stack, your timeline, your team's working style. We tell you whether we're the right fit — or refer you out if we aren't. No deck pitch.
- 02Shortlist (within 4 working days)You get CVs + portfolio + 5-minute Loom intro from 2–3 engineers matched to your scope. You shortlist who you want to interview.
- 03Technical interview (you lead)You run your own technical loop — pair-programming, code review, system-design — exactly as you would for any senior IC hire. We don't gate.
- 04Paid trial weekOptional but recommended. Engineer takes a real ticket from your backlog at our rate. Either side can walk away at the end with no commitment.
- 05Engagement signedEmbed contract or project SOW. We handle the legal entity, payroll, NDA, IP assignment. You handle the work.
- 06Day-one onboardingWe sit with the engineer on day one to make sure repo access, Slack, CI/CD, and your project context are wired up before stand-up.
Sectors where our team ships in production
Hiring from us vs the alternatives
Hiring managers who've shipped with our engineers
"We embedded one of their senior r3f engineers into our LA team for the Q4 holiday season. He out-shipped two of our local mids and his perf instincts were unreal. Already renewed for 2026."
"We ran our own technical loop — five rounds, including a system-design and a Three.js deep dive — and the engineer they put forward passed at the level we'd expect for our $230k London hires. Now we just hire from them whenever we need a Three.js seat."
"Async, written, fast. Their team works the way our team works. Zero day-one friction, code review quality is high, and the project came in under both budget and timeline. We're on the third project with them now."

If you're researching senior three.js developers in nepal — ready to embed in your team for your business, two things usually drive the decision: how it makes your brand look from the street, and how much you'll pay across the next five years — fabrication, install, electricity, maintenance, and replacement when it weathers. We've delivered senior three.js developers in nepal — ready to embed in your team for everything from boutique cafés in Thamel to multi-branch banks across all 7 cities we serve. The patterns we keep seeing inform every recommendation on this page.
For most Nepali businesses, the senior three.js developers in nepal — ready to embed in your team they end up with isn't the cheapest quote they received — it's the one where the supplier explained why a particular material lasts longer in monsoon, why a specific power supply spec matters for our voltage fluctuations, and which municipal permits they'll handle on your behalf. Cheap quotes that skip these details almost always cost more within 18 months.
What follows is a breakdown of materials we recommend, what affects pricing, our 4-step process from consultation to install, and answers to the questions clients ask us every week. We work factory-direct from our ISO 9001:2015 facility in Teku, Kathmandu — which means you're talking to the people actually fabricating your signage, not a chain of subcontractors.
If a competing quote is more than 30% cheaper than ours, ask them three questions: (1) what's the LED driver brand, (2) what's the IP rating on the power supply, and (3) who handles the municipal permit. If they can't answer all three, you're looking at a sign that will fail before your next FY closes.
Quotes for senior three.js developers in nepal — ready to embed in your team in Nepal can vary 3-4× for what looks like the same project. The variation isn't random — it's almost always driven by these factors, in roughly this order of impact:
1. Material grade. Premium acrylic from Plazit, COB LEDs from reputable Korean/Taiwanese manufacturers, marine-grade stainless steel — these cost more upfront and last 2-3× longer. Cheaper alternatives exist, and we'll use them when budget is tight, but we always tell you what the trade-off is.
2. Size and complexity. A standard 4×8 ft board costs much less per square foot than a custom 3D installation with curved letters. Our quote breaks down material cost vs. fabrication labour so you can see exactly where money goes.
3. Lighting and electricals. If your senior three.js developers in nepal — ready to embed in your team is illuminated, the power supply quality, LED driver brand, and cable gauge significantly affect both cost and 5-year reliability. Sub-standard power supplies are the #1 reason cheap signs fail within 18 months.
4. Installation site. Ground-level shop fronts are straightforward. Multi-storey building facades, monument signs requiring foundation work, or LED video walls with structural mounting can add 30-50% to the project budget for rigging, scaffolding, and permits.
5. Permits and approvals. Kathmandu Metropolitan, Lalitpur, and other municipalities require permits for outdoor signage above certain sizes. We handle the entire permit workflow as part of every install — included in the quote, never billed extra.
Tell us your dimensions, location, and budget range and we'll send a transparent breakdown within 2 hours.
We launched in 2025 with a clear opinion: most signage in Kathmandu ages badly because nobody documents what they shipped. Our Teku shop floor runs on a four-stage QA loop — documented intake, design review, fabrication QC, and post-install inspection. When something doesn't pass, it doesn't ship. That discipline is why we've put up 500+ signs in our first year and not had to redo any of them.
Practically, what this means for your senior three.js developers in nepal — ready to embed in your team: when you call about an issue six months from now, we can pull up your project file, see exactly which materials and which technicians worked on it, and dispatch the right fix the same day. That continuity is rare in Nepal's signage market and it's why corporate clients — banks, hotels, hospitals, government contracts — keep coming back.
We're also vertically integrated. We own our CNC routers, our laser cutters, our printing line, our paint booth, our metalwork, and our install team. When a job touches four trades, you don't get four sub-contractors and four chances for the timeline to slip. You get one team, one accountable project lead, and one phone number that picks up.
Same-day fault diagnosis on any sign we've ever shipped. Documented material lot numbers per project. Lifetime free design-file storage. Direct WhatsApp line to the shop floor lead, not a call centre.
