Hire Remote Developers from the Philippines and Beyond

Build your offshore team with senior-level engineers from the Philippines, Eastern Europe, and Latin America — all fully vetted, IP-safe, and compliant.

Why Hire Remote Developers?

According to Deloitte’s 2022 survey, 76% of businesses were already outsourcing their IT operations. In the U.S., over a third of IT-related activities are managed by third-party providers, covering areas like web hosting, software development, and IT administration.

The IT outsourcing market is projected to grow significantly, with forecasts estimating it will reach $290.30 billion by 2029. This growth is largely fueled by the increasing use of cloud-based solutions, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in outsourcing strategies.

Key FAQs About Hiring Remote Developers

How can I source senior software developers in the Philippines?

Partner with a trusted provider that pre-vets candidates for your specific tech stack — like React, Node.js, or AWS. At Smart Outsourcing Solutions, we match you with top 5% developers experienced in startup environments and aligned with your timezone, goals, and culture.

What is the average salary for a Filipino React or Node developer?

Mid-level developers (3–5 years) typically earn $2,000–$2,600/month. Senior engineers (5+ years) range from $2,000–$3,500/month. Rates depend on skills, benefits, and region — offering 60–70% savings compared to onshore hires.

How do I protect my code and IP when hiring overseas developers?

Work with partners that offer enforceable contracts, NDAs, and IP assignment clauses. EOR models ensure jurisdictional protection. You should also enforce role-based access, logging, and secure systems (e.g. VPNs, Git) to safeguard your codebase.

See compliance rules from DOLE and BIR.

Will my intellectual property be protected if I hire offshore developers?

Yes. Philippine law recognises IP transfer and contract enforcement. When hiring through a compliant partner or Employer of Record (EOR), your IP rights are clearly assigned and legally protected across jurisdictions.

How do I pay remote developers compliantly?

Use an Employer of Record (EOR) or BPO partner who manages local payroll, taxes, and statutory benefits. This ensures developers are properly classified, and your business stays compliant with labour and tax laws — without setting up an entity.

What mandatory benefits do employees receive in the Philippines?

Philippine employees are entitled to 13th-month pay, social security (SSS), PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG contributions, paid leave, and other statutory benefits. An EOR ensures full legal compliance and accurate benefit administration on your behalf.
