As featured in

Developer staffing for every layer of your stack.

From the developer who ships your next feature to the engineer who keeps the pipeline green, we staff your entire build team.

In the software you already run.

Tell us your stack. We screen for it.

  • GitHub
  • GitLab
  • Jira
  • AWS
  • Azure
  • Google Cloud
  • Docker
  • More: Kubernetes, Figma. Plus your frameworks, CI and cloud tools

Web & app development 4 roles

Quality, ops & design 4 roles

Screened for the duties, not the title.

Tired of hires who only look good on paper? A resume that says “developer” tells you very little. We screen against the actual duties before you see a single name.

Hire on your own, and you’d handle:

  • Recruiting & screening
  • Payroll & tax filing
  • HR & benefits
  • Employment compliance
  • Workstations & equipment
  • IT & security

All handled by Remote Employee

Step 01 of 04

We recruit against your duties.

Most candidates apply to anything. We recruit for front-end, back-end, QA, DevOps, and your hours, so the ones who apply want this job.

FAQ

Common questions on developer staffing with Remote Employee®

Still figuring out if we’re what your engineering team needs? Here are a few questions we get asked a lot.

You tell us who you need and what you need them to do, from building features and fixing bugs to running QA and deployments. We recruit and screen developers and engineers in the Philippines based on your requirements, then introduce you to the people who fit.

Then you interview the ones you want and choose who to hire. They join your standups and work in your codebase, on your hours, while we handle all the details outside of their duties, including local employment, payroll, benefits, HR, IT, and ongoing employee support, so you can focus on your customers.

Yes. Staff augmentation means adding developers to your existing team instead of outsourcing a whole project.

Your hire joins your standups, works in your repos, and reports to you, while we handle employment, payroll, and equipment.

Most staffing agencies find a candidate, charge a placement fee, and step away. Payroll, benefits, and replacing them become your job.

We recruit and screen too, but there’s no placement fee, and we stay the employer. Payroll, benefits, equipment, and HR are ours. If a hire doesn’t work out, we replace them at no extra cost.

It depends on the role, experience, and skills you’re looking for. A QA engineer and a senior full-stack developer won’t cost the same.

Once we know who you need, we’ll give you the cost upfront. There’s a one-time setup fee per employee, followed by a monthly fee. Businesses typically save 50–70% compared with hiring a similar role in the US with equivalent education, experience, or other qualifications.

Most developer roles are hired within 2 weeks (14 days). Timing depends on the role, how specific your requirements are, like a niche framework or senior-level experience, and your interview schedule. If you’re hiring ahead of a launch or a big release, tell us your deadline. If we expect the search to take longer, we’ll say so upfront.

Yes, that’s part of how we screen. Just tell us your languages, frameworks, and tools, whether it’s React, Node.js, Python, .NET, Swift, Kotlin, or something else, along with GitHub, Jira, and your cloud.

We’ll shortlist candidates who have already built in them, so you’re not paying someone to learn your stack. You’ll see their experience on every profile before you meet them.

Yes. We facilitate the interviews, but you ask the questions, and you can run your own technical interview. All we need is your availability and who you want to meet from the shortlist.

We handle recruiting and initial phone screening including background and medical checks, then introduce you to qualified pre-vetted candidates through a shortlist. After interviewing the ones you want, you choose which ones you want to hire.

Yes. You can hire full-time or part-time, and either way they work only for your business.

They work your hours, join your standups and code reviews, use your tools, follow your processes, and focus on the role you hired them to do.

Through the RE Portal, which puts hiring and managing your Remote Employees in one place. Browse candidates, manage interviews, view employee information, track time and performance, access documents, manage tasks, and stay on top of your team while we handle the local support behind the scenes.

Once you’ve chosen who you want to hire, we’ll deal with their employment contract, set them up with a workstation and equipment, prepare their benefits, and get them connected to you.

All you take care of is giving them access to your codebase and tools, training them in your processes, and managing them as a member of your team. Keep in mind, we have 24/7 IT support, so if you ever need assistance with the hire, we’ve got it covered.

Instead of paying your hires through payroll, you just pay our invoice at the end of the month. We take care of the details so that your hire is actually employed and not a contractor or freelancer. We accept bank transfers and credit card payments for the invoice.

There’s a one-time setup fee per seat, which covers their workstation and equipment. Replacing a hire costs nothing extra: if you’re not happy, we replace them for free.

You do. Any code, configuration, or documentation your hire creates belongs to your business, the same as work from any other employee on your team.

You control their access. You set their logins and permissions in your own repos and cloud accounts, the same as any in-house hire, and remove them whenever you need to. They work on equipment we provide, over secure networks.

Yes. Every developer is based in the Philippines and employed by us locally.

They work your hours, from one of our Class-A offices or from home, with a local team supporting them either way.
