What Is Staff Augmentation? A Guide for Non-Tech Teams
Staff augmentation is a staffing model where an outside provider recruits, employs, and pays a professional who then…
Read ArticleHire a dedicated Filipino full stack, backend or DevOps engineer who ships inside your repos on your hours. Not a project agency and not a freelancer marketplace. One developer on your team, backed by a 110-day guarantee.

The feature list is long, the two engineers you have are already on call, and every quote from a US agency starts with a number that ends the conversation. So the integration waits, the migration waits, and the founder is back in the codebase at 11pm.
Meanwhile the freelancer who built the last release has moved on, and nobody is quite sure how the deploy works.
A Filipino software developer from Armasourcing is one dedicated engineer working your hours inside your repos, your tickets and your standups. Not a fixed-scope build with a warranty period, and not a marketplace gig that ends when the milestone closes. They pick up the backlog, own the deploy, and are still there next quarter.
Most growing teams do not need a separate cloud hire. They need the developer they already trust to own the pipeline too: environments that match, deploys that roll back cleanly, alerts that reach a person, and a cloud bill someone actually reads. If your need is infrastructure first, we match a DevOps-leaning engineer on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud and scope the application work second.
Arc’s hiring guide puts US developers at $70 to $250 an hour, with offshore freelancers anywhere from $10 to $80 depending on who you get and whether they stay. A full-time US hire sits above the hourly figures once benefits land. Stack Overflow’s 2025 Developer Survey shows how broad the modern stack has become; the shortage is reliable people who ship across it. A dedicated Filipino developer at Philippine market rates moves where the break-even sits, not whether it exists.

Stop doing everything yourself. Here's exactly what your Filipino specialist takes off your plate from day one.
React, Next.js or Vue on the front, Node, Python, PHP or .NET on the back. Features shipped behind flags with tests.
REST and GraphQL services, third-party integrations, background jobs, and PostgreSQL or MySQL schema and performance work.
AWS, Azure or Google Cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, Docker and Kubernetes, monitoring and cost control.
Dependency upgrades, security patches, the bugs that never make the sprint, and runbooks so the knowledge stays with you.
Dedicated developers as augmented staff versus a project agency: what changes in ownership, cost and continuity, and how to decide.
Read The GuideTeams with a growing backlog who need a reliable engineer on the roster, not another agency quote.
Studios that need dedicated build capacity for client work without local hiring costs.
Companies running on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom platforms that need integrations built and kept working.
Technical founders at 11pm in the codebase who need one person to take the backlog properly.

A task in your stack and a code review conversation, before you meet them.
One dedicated engineer in your repos and standups, on your hours.

Our talent team screens pre-vetted Filipino developers on a real coding task in your stack, plus a code review conversation. Within 1 to 2 weeks we present 2 to 3 top picks with profiles, GitHub samples and video introductions.
You interview your shortlisted developers via video call. Walk through the task, pair on a small problem, ask about your architecture, and choose the person who fits your team.
We handle equipment, repo access and communication channels. Week one is codebase and environments, week two the first PR ships, and by week four they own a slice of the backlog while we manage payroll, HR and ongoing support.

Every growing business hits this wall. Here's what changes when you stop trying to do it all alone.
Every Armasourcing engagement comes with clear deliverables, proactive communication, and our 110-Day Perfect Hire Guarantee, so you never wonder if it's working.

Read ArticleArc’s hiring guide puts US developers at $70 to $250 an hour, and a full-time US hire costs more once benefits land. A dedicated Filipino developer is a flat monthly engagement at Philippine market rates. We quote the exact monthly rate on your discovery call, once we know the stack and seniority you need.

JavaScript and TypeScript (React, Next.js, Vue, Node), Python, PHP and Laravel, .NET, PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB, with Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions and Terraform on the DevOps side across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Matching is stack-first, so tell us yours on the call.
Yes. If your need is infrastructure first, we match a DevOps-leaning engineer who owns CI/CD, environments, monitoring and cloud cost on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, and scope any application work second. Many teams start with a full stack developer who takes the pipeline too.
On a real coding task in your stack and a code review conversation, not a quiz. Candidates also pass our English, reliability and home-office infrastructure checks before you meet them, and you interview before choosing.
You do. Work happens in your repos and accounts under your access controls, with a written confidentiality undertaking before day one. Nothing lives in a contractor’s personal account.
Both. Full time is 40 hours a week on your timezone; part time is a defined 20-hour window. Either way the developer is dedicated to you, never shared across clients.
