Ha, I understand your confusion. Heading tags (h1-h7) are not tags that go "in the header" surprisingly.
The H1 tag on your page is in the correct place and your dev is correct.
H1 tags are headings really, not headers. So they are headings for your content located within your content. As opposed to your website which has both header & footer code that essentially surround your content on every page.
If you're still confused on it, check this video. It shows it fairly clearly and better than I can in a text box. Hope it helps!

Why our page not ranking even searching for exact h1 tag?
Even I search for exact h1 tag heading from our homepage, it's (homepage) not been showing up on TOP of the results. Other websites with partial match of search query are ranking above us; why this is happening? And other website with same text as normal paragraph is ranking on top. But not out h1 tag from homepage? How come normal text of unrelated website is ranking above h1 heading from homepage of own website?
