    A note from our founder

    I started writing .NET with the 1.0 beta in 2001.

    I started my career as a .NET developer. Twenty-plus years in, I have shipped enterprise .NET systems, built and sold two software companies on the Microsoft stack, and run a .NET developer tools company called Stackify whose product instrumented .NET applications in production for thousands of engineering teams.

    At Full Scale we have hired hundreds of .NET engineers in the Philippines over the years. We test them on real architecture problems, not syntax. We have built dedicated .NET development teams for fast growing SaaS companies and for AMC Theatres. If you are serious about hiring offshore .NET developers who can actually build things, you are in the right place.

    AI-powered .NET engineers, trained on Product Driven principles.

    Most companies adopting AI are getting more code, not better code. The slop volume goes up. The product gets worse. Engineers who only know how to type faster are not the answer.

    Full Scale .NET developers are trained on something different: the Product Driven approach from Matt's book, combined with the full modern AI toolkit (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor). They think first, type second, and use AI for the parts where judgment doesn't add value. That combination is rare, and it is what enterprise .NET teams should actually be hiring for in 2026.

    Pillar 1

    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 are not order takers.

    Read Product Driven, the book
    Pillar 2

    AI as a thinking partner

    Every .NET 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 an AI slop machine. Product thinking without AI leaves productivity on the table. The developers I want on my team have both, and that is who we hire and train at Full Scale.

    Pricing

    Dedicated .NET developers, starting at $35 an hour.

    That rate is fully loaded. Senior .NET engineer in the Philippines, working full-time on your project, with payroll, benefits, HR, and equipment all handled by Full Scale. The same role hired locally in the US costs $150K to $195K a year. The math is what drives most of our clients to call.

    $35/ hour
    Per dedicated .NET developer, fully loaded
    Compared to US based hires
    Roughly 40-50% of an equivalent US hire

    Final rate depends on seniority and skill specialty.

    What you get for that rate
    • Full-time, dedicated .NET engineer
    • Pre-vetted by senior .NET reviewers
    • Works your hours, your tools, your codebase
    • Payroll, HR, equipment, benefits handled by us

    Trusted operator

    Full Scale has made the Inc. 5000 three years in a row and is Great Place to Work certified. We have been doing this since 2018. Pricing isn't the only reason clients stay, but it's the easiest reason to call.

    Why the Philippines

    The reason offshore .NET works here.

    English-fluent by default

    The Philippines is the third-largest English-speaking country in the world. Standups, code reviews, and customer calls work the way they do with any US team member.

    Real time-zone overlap

    Most of our .NET engineers work US business hours with 4-8 hours of real-time overlap with East and West Coast teams. No async-only handoffs.

    Deep engineering talent pool

    Cebu and Manila produce tens of thousands of CS and IT graduates a year. The country has been the Microsoft stack's offshore home for two decades.

    Cultural alignment with US teams

    Filipino engineers grow up on US business norms, US TV, and US tech culture. The result is teams that integrate fast, not teams you have to manage around.

    Why most offshore .NET teams fail

    Writing C# is not the same as knowing .NET.

    Anyone who passed a Microsoft certification can write C#. Building an enterprise .NET system that holds up in production requires a different bench entirely. When you outsource .NET development or hire offshore .NET developers, this is the gap that decides whether the project ships. Here is what we test for, and what most offshore staffing companies skip.

    Architecture knowledge, not just syntax

    Junior developers ship features. Senior .NET engineers reason about Clean Architecture, dependency injection, CQRS, and when a pattern actually earns its complexity.

    EF Core that doesn't melt your database

    We test for the N+1 query problem, change tracking gotchas, and when to drop into Dapper or raw SQL. Bad EF code is the single most common cause of .NET performance issues we see.

    Azure beyond "deploy to App Service"

    Real Azure expertise covers Service Bus, Functions, managed identity, Key Vault, App Insights, AKS. Engineers who can read a deployment failure and know where to look in Azure Monitor.

    Legacy migration without the breakage

    Moving .NET Framework 4.x to .NET 10 is more than a project file edit. We have done full migrations for production systems with millions of users. We know where the landmines are.

    Security and identity done right

    ASP.NET Core auth, OAuth flows, JWT validation, OWASP basics, secrets management. Not a checklist exercise. Engineers who understand the attack surface of a real .NET application.

    Production debugging skills

    A senior .NET engineer should be able to read a memory dump, profile a hot path, and walk through a thread block diagram. Most offshore developers have never touched these tools.

    .NET development services we deliver

    Hire dedicated .NET developers for the work that actually matters.

    Most .NET hiring conversations skip past the actual project. What kind of .NET work do you need done? Greenfield application development, an Azure migration, a legacy modernization, a performance fix that's been open for six months? Our developers ship across all of it. Here are the .NET development services we get hired for most often.

    Custom .NET application development

    Greenfield builds on modern .NET 8 or .NET 10 using Clean Architecture, MediatR, EF Core, and FluentValidation. We start with a real domain model, not a CRUD scaffold. The result is a codebase that survives the first 18 months without a rewrite.

    Read our .NET development guide

    Enterprise .NET development

    Multi-tenant SaaS, role-based access, audit logging, regulatory reporting. The unglamorous stuff that enterprise software lives or dies on. We staffed the team behind enterprise systems at AMC Theatres and we know what production load looks like.

    .NET API development & system integration

    REST APIs with OpenAPI contracts, gRPC for internal services, contract testing in CI. Third-party integrations done with circuit breakers (Polly), proper retry logic, and idempotency keys. The kind of API layer your downstream consumers don't curse at.

    Azure cloud application development

    Cloud-native .NET on App Service, Functions, AKS, Service Bus, and Cosmos DB. Bicep for infrastructure, managed identity for auth, App Insights for observability. The full Azure stack, not just "we deployed it to App Service."

    Legacy .NET modernization

    Production .NET Framework 4.x to .NET 8 or .NET 10 migrations without downtime. We know which third-party libraries break, where WCF and System.Web sneak in, and how to stage the cutover so business doesn't stop. We've done this for systems with millions of users.

    Read about .NET Core vs .NET Framework

    .NET performance & debugging

    BenchmarkDotNet for hot-path profiling, dotMemory for leaks, dotTrace for CPU bottlenecks, production memory dump analysis when things get weird. The skills most offshore .NET shops have never developed. Hire us when your application is slow and nobody knows why.

    Hire C# developers, ASP.NET developers, Azure engineers

    Eight .NET specializations, one staffing partner.

    Most .NET teams need more than one role. Hire dedicated C# developers, senior ASP.NET engineers, Azure cloud specialists, and .NET DevOps from a single vetted bench. Mix and match seniorities as the project requires.

    Backend .NET Engineers

    Senior backend devs who build the API layer, business logic, and data access. Comfortable in ASP.NET Core, minimal APIs, MediatR, EF Core, and Dapper.

    Mid to Staff

    Full-Stack .NET Developers

    End-to-end engineers who pair .NET on the backend with React, Angular, or Blazor on the front. Ship features from the database to the UI without handoffs.

    Mid to Senior

    ASP.NET API Engineers

    Specialists who design REST and gRPC APIs, document with OpenAPI, and ship versioned, well-tested endpoints. Used to working inside hexagonal or clean architecture.

    Senior

    Azure Cloud Engineers

    Microsoft-certified Azure developers who own App Service, Functions, Service Bus, AKS, Key Vault, and App Insights end-to-end. They write the Bicep too.

    Senior

    .NET DevOps Engineers

    CI/CD on Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, containerization, infrastructure as code, observability. They make .NET releases boring in the good way.

    Mid to Senior

    Performance & Security Engineers

    BenchmarkDotNet, dotMemory, dotTrace, threading model audits, OWASP reviews, identity and secrets hardening. The people you call when production gets weird.

    Senior to Staff

    Xamarin / .NET MAUI Developers

    Cross-platform mobile builds on .NET MAUI plus legacy Xamarin maintenance. iOS, Android, and Windows from a single codebase.

    Mid to Senior

    .NET QA & SDET

    Automation engineers fluent in xUnit, NUnit, SpecFlow, Playwright, and Selenium against ASP.NET Core services. They write the test pyramid you wish you had.

    .NET development services by industry

    .NET expertise tuned to your industry.

    As a .NET development company that has been around for over a decade, we have placed dedicated .NET developers into nearly every industry that runs Microsoft. Domain knowledge cuts onboarding time in half, so we match developers to projects where they have already shipped real code.

    Media & Entertainment

    We staffed the .NET team behind AMC Theatres, where the surface area is huge: ticketing, payments, loyalty, queueing, mobile. Media and entertainment .NET work is high-traffic, customer-facing, and unforgiving of bad releases.
