Telecom software development teams that keep the network up and the billing right.
Hire dedicated senior engineers from a telecom software development company founded by a four-time founder. We place engineers in the Philippines who ship OSS/BSS, billing, network management, and VoIP software for carriers, MVNOs, and communications platforms. Pre-vetted, full-time, and ready in as little as 7 days.

Not a dev shop building it for you. Your telecom team, building with you.
Most telecommunications software development companies quote you a six- or seven-figure fixed-bid project, build it behind a vendor wall, and hand it back. We staff dedicated senior engineers into your team. You own them, manage them, and keep them.
The turnkey vendor model
The big custom-software shops
- Fixed-bid project, scoped up front, priced in the hundreds of thousands
- Engineers walled off behind an account manager
- 30–40% overhead for layers you never meet
- Hand-off at the end, and the knowledge walks out the door
The Full Scale staff-augmentation model
Dedicated engineers, embedded in your team
- $35/hr fully loaded, scale up or down as the roadmap changes
- Engineers in your standups, Slack, repo, and roadmap
- No vendor wall and no PM tax, you manage them directly
- 93%+ retention means the engineers, and the knowledge, stay
Co-founded VinSolutions, the #1 CRM in the auto industry ($150M+ exit), and founded Stackify
Built by a founder who has shipped and sold real software
Full Scale was founded by Matt Watson, a four-time founder and CTO with 20+ years in software engineering. He co-founded VinSolutions, the #1 CRM platform in the auto industry, acquired for around $150 million, and founded Stackify, a developer-tools company he later sold. He also wrote Product Driven, the engineering-leadership method every Full Scale engineer is trained on.
Full Scale exists because Matt kept hitting the same wall as an operator: good products stall when you can't hire and keep good engineers. That is the problem we solve, and it is why we vet for the senior, product-minded engineers most staffing shops never find.
Engineers experienced across the telecom stack
We don't sell you a pre-built product. We staff engineers who have shipped in these domains before and know where the uptime and billing landmines are.
OSS/BSS systems
Operations and business support systems, service provisioning, order management, inventory, and the integrations that hold them together.
Billing & charging
Rating and charging engines, real-time and convergent billing, mediation, invoicing, and revenue assurance built to clear an audit.
Network management & monitoring
Network monitoring, fault and performance management, alarm correlation, and observability for systems that cannot go dark.
VoIP & communications platforms
VoIP and SIP services, CPaaS and UCaaS platforms, call routing, messaging, and WebRTC-based communications.
Customer self-service portals
Subscriber and account portals, plan management, usage dashboards, and companion mobile apps across iOS and Android.
Telecom data & analytics
Usage and CDR data pipelines, network telemetry analytics, churn and capacity models, and machine-learning on subscriber data.
Engineers who build for uptime and revenue integrity, not just ship dates
Telecom software doesn't forgive shortcuts. Our engineers have worked inside environments where downtime is a missed SLA and a billing error is lost revenue, and they treat security and reliability as architecture decisions, not a checkbox at the end.

Why most offshore telecom teams fail, and how to not be one of them
The mistake isn't going offshore. It's hiring the cheapest developer you can find and hoping uptime sorts itself out. I call that cheapshoring, and in telecom software it's how you end up with a missed SLA and a rewrite.
Network and billing software is unforgiving. You need engineers who understand that a dropped event is lost revenue and a minute of downtime is a penalty clause. That's a hiring bar, not a rate, which is the whole reason we accept under 3% of applicants and train every engineer on the Product Driven method.

Telecom Software Development Services, answered
- Do your engineers have telecom and OSS/BSS experience?
- Yes. We staff engineers who have shipped OSS/BSS, billing and charging, network management, and VoIP software, and treat uptime and revenue integrity as architecture decisions, not a checkbox.
- Can you support billing and network systems with strict uptime?
- Yes. We place backend, SRE, and data engineers who have run telecommunications software development under tight uptime SLAs and high-volume CDR and billing loads.
- Is this a fixed-bid project or a dedicated team?
- A dedicated team. We are a staff augmentation partner, so you get engineers embedded in your team at $35/hr, not a turnkey project quote.
- How fast can a telecom team start?
- As little as seven days from the first call to engineers in your standups, drawing from a pre-vetted bench.
- Who owns the code and the IP?
- You do, from day one. Our engineers work in your repositories under your process.
