}.NET teams trusted by enterprises, scale-ups, and Fortune 500s
Previously founded VinSolutions ($150M+ exit) and Stackify
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.
Full Scale is a .NET development company built around senior Filipino developers and the Product Driven framework. We have hired hundreds of .NET engineers in the Philippines over the years, we test them on real architecture problems rather than syntax quizzes, and we have built dedicated .NET development teams for fast growing SaaS companies and for AMC Theatres. When the engagement is a full SaaS build, see our SaaS development company page. 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 enterprise .NET teams adopting AI are shipping more code without shipping better software. The slop volume climbs, production bugs follow, and engineers whose only skill is typing faster end up costing more in cleanup than they save in keystrokes.
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. If your roadmap leans toward AI features rather than .NET infrastructure, you can also hire dedicated AI developers from the same bench.
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 bookAI 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 just a slop machine, and the .NET 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.
The engineering team behind AMC Theatres
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.
- 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
- US-based account manager you can escalate to
- 30-day replacement guarantee if it isn't a fit
Full Scale has made the Inc. 5000 four years in a row and is Great Place to Work certified. We have been doing this since 2018, and pricing isn't the only reason clients stay with our .NET development company, it's the easiest reason to call.
The reason offshore .NET works here
You can also hire dedicated developers in the Philippines across every other stack we staff, with the same vetting bar, retention numbers, and engagement model that .NET clients get.
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, so decisions happen live during shared hours rather than crawling through 24-hour async 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, so agile rituals, direct feedback, and collaborative workflows feel familiar from day one. These teams integrate fast rather than needing constant management.
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 C# developers offshore, 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, and AKS. The bench is also stocked with engineers who can read a deployment failure and know where to look in Azure Monitor when production breaks.
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, which means we know where the landmines are before we start.
Security and identity done right
Real security work in .NET covers ASP.NET Core auth, OAuth flows, JWT validation, OWASP basics, and secrets management. It isn't a checklist exercise, and we test for engineers who understand the actual attack surface of a production .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.
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 custom .NET development, an Azure migration, a legacy modernization, a performance fix that's been open for six months? As a .NET development company that bills for engineering hours rather than fixed-bid projects, our developers ship across all of it. Here are the .NET development services we get hired for most often.
Custom .NET application development
Custom .NET development means greenfield builds on modern .NET 8 or .NET 10 using Clean Architecture, MediatR, EF Core, and FluentValidation. We start with a real domain model rather than a CRUD scaffold, so the resulting codebase survives the first 18 months without a rewrite.
Read our .NET outsourcing guideEnterprise .NET development
Enterprise .NET work is multi-tenant SaaS, role-based access, audit logging, and 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
We build REST APIs with OpenAPI contracts, gRPC for internal services, and contract testing in CI. Third-party integrations get circuit breakers (Polly), proper retry logic, and idempotency keys, which gives you an API layer your downstream consumers don't curse at.
Hire dedicated API engineersAzure cloud application development
We build cloud-native .NET on App Service, Functions, AKS, Service Bus, and Cosmos DB, using Bicep for infrastructure, managed identity for auth, and App Insights for observability. That's the full Azure stack, with no "we deployed it to App Service" shortcuts.
Legacy .NET modernization and .NET migration
We run production .NET migration projects from .NET Framework 4.x to .NET 8 or .NET 10 without downtime. We know which third-party libraries break in a .NET migration, where WCF and System.Web sneak in, and how to stage the cutover so business doesn't stop. This is .NET modernization work we've done for systems with millions of users.
Read about .NET Core vs .NET Framework.NET performance & debugging
Our .NET performance work covers BenchmarkDotNet for hot-path profiling, dotMemory for leaks, dotTrace for CPU bottlenecks, and production memory dump analysis when things get weird. These are skills most offshore .NET shops have never developed, so hire us when your application is slow and nobody knows why.
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. The same bench staffs senior backend developers across Node, Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, and Go when a project spans more than one stack. When SQL Server is the heart of the .NET stack and needs its own attention, you can also hire dedicated database engineers with deep T-SQL and query tuning experience. Mix and match seniorities as the project requires.
Backend .NET Engineers
Senior backend devs handle the API layer, business logic, and data access for your application. They work fluently in ASP.NET Core, minimal APIs, MediatR, EF Core, and Dapper.
Full-Stack .NET Developers
End-to-end engineers pair .NET on the backend with React, Angular, or Blazor on the front. They ship features from the database to the UI without handoffs to a separate team.
ASP.NET API Engineers
Engineers in this specialization design REST and gRPC APIs, document them with OpenAPI, and ship versioned, well-tested endpoints. They're used to working inside hexagonal or clean architecture from day one. If the web framework is the center of your project, you can also hire dedicated ASP.NET developers from the same bench.
Azure Cloud Engineers
Microsoft-certified Azure developers own App Service, Functions, Service Bus, AKS, Key Vault, and App Insights end-to-end. They write the Bicep too.
.NET DevOps Engineers
DevOps work on these teams covers CI/CD on Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, containerization, infrastructure as code, and observability. They make .NET releases boring in the good way.
Performance & Security Engineers
When production gets weird, these are the engineers you call. They run BenchmarkDotNet, dotMemory, and dotTrace investigations alongside threading audits, OWASP reviews, and identity and secrets hardening.
Xamarin / .NET MAUI Developers
MAUI developers ship cross-platform mobile builds and maintain the legacy Xamarin codebases that came before them. One codebase covers iOS, Android, and Windows. For native iOS, Android, Flutter, or React Native work, you can also hire dedicated mobile app developers from the same bench.
.NET QA & SDET
Our automation engineers write tests in xUnit, NUnit, SpecFlow, Playwright, and Selenium against ASP.NET Core services. They build the test pyramid you wish you had.
.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.
From .NET 10 minimal APIs to .NET Framework 4.8 migrations
Whether you want to hire ASP.NET Core developers for a greenfield build, hire Azure .NET developers for a cloud migration, or outsource .NET development on a legacy .NET Framework system, the bench covers every layer of the Microsoft developer stack. Pick what you need. We will match a .NET programmer fluent in it.
Hire dedicated .NET developers, two ways
Most clients start with a single dedicated .NET developer and grow into a full team. Either way, you get full-time engineers who sit on your standups, work your hours, and ship code against your roadmap. Both options are staff augmentation at the core: dedicated, long-term engineers embedded in your team rather than freelancers, shared resources, or a project shop on the side. See the full breakdown of how we Hire dedicated .NET developers across every engagement we staff. When a project needs the same engineer on both the API and the UI, you can hire a dedicated full stack developer from the same bench. For new services that need to run cheaply at high concurrency, you can also hire offshore Golang developers under the same model.
