Remote Software Developers in the Philippines

Features, fixes and integrations shipped through your own repo and reviews.

A remote development team in the Philippines gives you senior engineering hours at a rate that lets a small company keep building. Your Filipino software developer is vetted with a practical coding test and a paid trial ticket in your own stack, not screened from a CV.

Your developer works inside your stack and your process: tickets in Jira or Linear, code in your GitHub repository, pull requests reviewed before merge. They build features, APIs, integrations and internal tools, write tests alongside the code, and document what they ship so the knowledge stays with you.

Why hire a software developer through Virtual Level Up?

You can find remote talent in a dozen places. The difference here is what happens after the hire.

Filipino specialists, vetted before you meet them
Every candidate for this seat sits a practical software developer test and a paid trial task shaped like your work. You interview a shortlist and choose. Nothing is placed on your say-so alone: read how we vet remote specialists in five levels.
One account manager, not a vendor list
Your software developer reports to the same account manager as every other seat you open, so adding a web developer later does not add another relationship to manage. That is what one team and one point of contact means in practice.
Your hours, your tools, your processes
The seat works a schedule agreed with you, inside your own accounts, from SOPs written into your drive. Time-zone overlap with US business hours is settled on the discovery call, before anyone is matched.
Hire the hour or the project
Keep a software developer on the team every week, or hand over one defined job at one fixed price. Same vetting either way. Browse all twelve virtual assistant and remote specialist services if you are still deciding which seat to fill first.

Two ways to hire a software developer.

Keep a specialist on your team by the hour, or hand over one defined job for one fixed price. Same vetting, same account manager, same daily reporting.

Ongoing seat

Billed hourly

Your software developer works the hours you agree every week, reports at the end of each day and grows with the work. Add hours, add seats or pause as things change.

Weekly hours you choose
End-of-day reports and a weekly review
Scale up, scale down or pause

Remote Software Developers in the Philippines: common questions.

Anything we have not covered, ask us on the discovery call.

Ask a question

Will the developer work in our codebase and process?

Yes. They join your repository, ticket system and team channels, follow your branching and review rules, and attend the meetings you set.

What stacks do your developers cover?

JavaScript and TypeScript with React, Next.js and Node.js, and Python for back-end and data work. Share your stack on the discovery call and we match a developer to it.

Who owns the code?

Code is written in repositories you control, under access you grant. Ownership and IP terms are written into your agreement, which we walk through before work starts.

Can you take on a full project, not just tickets?

Yes, once it is scoped. We break the project into milestones and agree what done looks like for each one before any code is written.

How is pricing set?

You can keep an ongoing seat billed by the hour, or book a one-time project at one fixed price. Pricing depends on hours and scope. We quote it on the discovery call once we understand your stack and your backlog.
