The Philippines
Hire senior software engineers from the Philippines
Arca.ph places senior software, DevOps, and AI engineers from the Philippines with US companies. We also hire elsewhere in Asia when the role calls for it.
Why US teams hire in the Philippines
English is the language of business and schooling for the engineers we talk to, so standups, pull requests, and incident notes do not need a translator. The working-day question is separate from geography: Arca.ph engineers work your full US business day, not a short overlap window.
Philippines vs Latin America compares cost and hours. Software engineer salaries in the Philippines covers market pay.
Approximate senior rate, per hour
Against a fully loaded US in-house hire, that is $59–$84 less every hour for a senior engineer.
