Scale your team with top offshore developers
Full Scale provides senior Filipino engineers who integrate directly with your team, so you move faster as one team. Grow quickly and affordably.
When offshore goes wrong, it's almost always the same reasons
Most offshore teams fall apart because the model is built for short-term contracting, not embedded teams. Here's what goes wrong, and what we do differently in the Philippines.
Engineers leave every nine months
There's no team to belong to, so developers churn between projects. The institutional knowledge walks out the door each time.
Multi-year tenures on the same team
Filipino engineers stay on a single client team for years. The AMC Theatres .NET team we staff has been embedded for years and still is.
Twelve hours of time-zone gap
U.S. to India is roughly a half-day apart. Standups become async emails, code reviews stretch to 48 hours, and small decisions take a week.
Scheduled daily overlap with your hours
Our engineers work shifts that overlap your business day. Live standups, real-time code reviews, and decisions in minutes instead of days.
Communication friction from language and culture
Engineers who can write code but can't drive a product conversation are common in offshore, and the friction shows up in every meeting.
English-first, U.S.-aligned working culture
The Philippines is the third-largest English-speaking country in the world. Our engineers speak business English, write in English, and run product conversations the same way your in-house team does.
Project shops deliver and walk
A typical offshore vendor ships a release, invoices, and disappears. The code outlives the engagement and nobody knows it anymore.
Dedicated developers, embedded for the long haul
We staff individual engineers who join your team full-time, push to your repo, and stay through every release. No project boundaries, no hand-offs.
Pooled resources rotated between clients
Body-shop agencies rotate the same developers across multiple clients, so the person you onboarded in January is gone by March.
One developer, your team, no rotation
Every engineer is dedicated to a single client. Same person in your standups all year. Replacement only happens if you ask for it.
The Philippines side of this comparison is what every Full Scale engagement looks like by default. The reason offshore works for our clients is that the model is built for teams that stay, not for projects that end.
Full Scale gives you dedicated senior engineers without the hiring friction
We don't place contractors or run projects for you. We provide dedicated full-time engineers who become part of your team.
What you get with Full Scale
How AMC Theatres scales engineering teams with Full Scale
A Fortune 500 client runs a fully integrated team through Full Scale, embedded alongside their in-house engineers.
Staff augmentation is the hiring model that actually scales engineering
You hire dedicated developers who join your team full-time, sit in your standups, push to your repo, and report up to your engineering leadership. Full Scale runs recruiting, payroll, benefits, and HR in the Philippines so that you can focus on the code and the priorities.
That long-term model is the version of offshore development that works. The code outlives the contract, and the engineers know your system because they have been on the team for years, not weeks. It's the opposite of project outsourcing or short-term contracting.
Previously founded VinSolutions ($150M+ exit) and Stackify
I built Full Scale because I lived the hiring problem first
In 2018 I needed to hire ten more developers for Stackify, my second startup. Kansas City hiring wasn't going to get me there, so a friend introduced me to developers in the Philippines and we opened a small office together. By 2021, that team had grown past 20 people and was central to why Stackify exited.
Those developers sat in the same Slack threads as my Kansas City engineers, pushed to the same repo, and ran standups on the same cadence. The agency handled payroll, benefits, and HR in the background so I could focus on the actual work. That was software development staff augmentation, before it had a name on our website.
Friends started asking how to access the same developer pool. Full Scale grew out of that, and we have now run staff augmentation engagements for more than 200 U.S. companies, including the dedicated .NET team behind AMC Theatres. The model that worked for Stackify is the model we run for clients today.
Engineers trained on AI and Product Driven principles
Most offshore engagements stall because the developer placed on your team thinks like a contractor, not a product owner. They wait for tickets, write what they are told, and disappear when the sprint ends without leaving anything behind.
Our engineers are trained to do the opposite. They are hired and developed inside the Product Driven framework, and they use modern AI tooling as part of their daily workflow. That combination is rare, and it is the difference between an engineer who acts like part of your team and one who acts like a vendor's resource.
Product Driven engineering
Our engineers are trained on the five pillars from Matt's book: Vision, Focus, Clarity, Ownership, and Courage. The result is developers who push back on bad product decisions, ask whether a ticket should exist before writing it, and own the outcome of what ships. They join your team as real engineers, not as order takers waiting for the next ticket.
Read Product Driven, the bookAI as a thinking partner
Every engineer on our bench works with GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Cursor every day. They use AI to explore options, scaffold the boring parts, generate test suites, and review their own pull requests before a human ever sees them. Judgment stays with the engineer, the grunt work moves to the machine.
AI without product thinking is just an AI slop machine. The engineers I want on my team don't get caught by that. They reason about the system before they reach for Copilot, and they use AI for the parts where judgment doesn't matter. That's who we hire and train at Full Scale.
