WHY THE PHILIPPINES FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Why US and Australian companies build offshore software development teams in the Philippines
The Philippines has a fast-growing tech talent pool with strong computer science graduates, fluent English and deep experience working with Western product teams. Combined with costs well below US and Australian rates, it is one of the most practical places to build a dedicated offshore engineering team that collaborates in real time.
Lower Than Local Hiring
A full-time Philippines-based developer typically costs 50 to 70% less than an equivalent hire in the US or Australia once salary, benefits, payroll tax, superannuation, equipment and recruitment fees are included. That budget goes further on every sprint.
Clear Technical Communication
English is an official language in the Philippines and the language of university education. Your developers write clear tickets, pull request descriptions and documentation, and speak up confidently in standups and code reviews.
IT and BPM Professionals
The Philippines has one of the largest English-speaking IT and outsourcing workforces in Asia, with thousands of IT and computer science graduates each year and a growing community of engineers experienced in modern frameworks and cloud platforms.
Real-Time Collaboration
Manila shares most of the working day with Australia, and Filipino engineers commonly work shifts aligned to US time zones. Your team joins your standups, pairs with your engineers and responds in Slack during your business hours.

HOW IT WORKS
How we build your offshore software development team
Building a dedicated engineering team in the Philippines with UpraisIT does not require months of recruiting or setting up a local entity. Our process is structured, technical and designed to have your developers committing code within weeks of your first call.
Technical Discovery
We learn about your product, tech stack, architecture, team structure and roadmap. Together we define the roles, seniority levels and skills your team needs, plus how developers will plug into your workflow.
Sourcing and Technical Vetting
We source engineers matched to your stack and screen them through coding assessments, technical interviews, English assessments and background checks. You receive a shortlist of the strongest candidates only.
Your Interviews and Selection
Your engineering leads interview the shortlist and can run their own technical challenge. You choose who joins. We handle contracts, payroll, high-spec equipment, internet backup and a secure workspace.
Onboard, Ship and Scale
Your developers are onboarded to your repos, tools and rituals and join your sprints from day one. An account manager supports retention and performance, and you can add engineers as your roadmap grows.
TIMEZONE COVERAGE FOR US AND AU
Engineers who join your standups, not just your ticket queue
Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8) makes real-time collaboration practical for both markets. Australian teams share most of the working day with Manila on a standard day shift. US teams typically use full or partial overlap shifts so developers attend standups, sprint ceremonies and code reviews live.
Many US clients also use a follow-the-sun model, where your offshore team picks up tickets and QA overnight so your local engineers start each day with work already moved forward.

LOCAL HIRE VS OFFSHORE TEAM
Why companies build an offshore software development team in the Philippines
Hiring software engineers in the US or Australia is slow, competitive and expensive. Project-based agencies are faster but you lose control of the code and the people. A dedicated Philippine development team gives you the control of an in-house team at a fraction of the cost.
Local In-House Developer
- Typical salaries of US$130,000+ or A$120,000+ per developer before benefits, super, equity and payroll tax
- Months-long hiring cycles in a highly competitive talent market
- Recruiter fees often 15 to 25% of first-year salary per hire
- High-spec hardware, software licences and office costs for every seat
- Project agencies own the relationship and rotate developers between clients
Dedicated Offshore Team via UpraisIT
- Up to 70% lower total cost, all-inclusive on one monthly invoice
- Technically vetted shortlist in about two weeks
- No recruitment fees, with equipment, payroll and HR handled for you
- Developers dedicated only to your product, working in your repos
- You own all code and IP, and direct the work like your own team

COMMON QUESTIONS
What companies ask before building an offshore software development team in the Philippines
Cost depends on the roles, seniority and team size. Most US and Australian clients save 50 to 70% compared with hiring equivalent engineers locally. You pay one flat monthly rate per developer that covers salary, benefits, equipment, workspace, payroll, HR and account management, with no recruitment fees.
You do. All code, designs and documentation created for your business are your intellectual property. Every developer signs a confidentiality agreement and IP assignment, and all work lives in your own repositories, cloud accounts and tools.
An agency runs the project and assigns developers who often work across several clients. With UpraisIT, your developers are dedicated full-time to your product and you direct their work, sprints and priorities, just like your own in-house team. We handle the employment and operations side.
Candidates go through a coding assessment relevant to your stack, a technical interview, an English communication assessment and a background check. Your engineering leads then interview the shortlist and can run their own technical challenge before making a decision.
Yes. Australian clients share most of the working day with Manila. For US clients, developers can work full overlap shifts or partial overlap so they join standups and sprint ceremonies live. Working hours are agreed before your team starts.
Most clients receive a technically vetted shortlist within about two weeks and have developers committing code within three to five weeks of the first call. You can add developers, QA or DevOps engineers as your roadmap grows, or scale down with reasonable notice.
