Connext makes engineering talent outsourcing feel like in-house hiring. We build dedicated engineering teams across LATAM, the Philippines, and India, staffed to your stack, your hours, and your standards. Embedded in your team from day one, not handed off to a vendor.
You’ve probably watched offshore engineering go sideways before. The handoff that loses a day. The standup no one can attend. The pull request that ships without context. The talent was rarely the problem. The way it was set up was.
Engineers who work when you work.
The specialized global engineering talent your local market can’t fill.
You lead the sprint. We run the backend.
Enterprise-grade security from day one.
Compliance and EOR, handled end to end.
AI where it helps. Engineers where it counts.
The hardest part of building offshore engineering teams isn’t finding engineers. It’s putting them in the right place. Here’s how the three regions Connext staffs compare.
There’s no single “best” region, but only the best fit for how your team works. Need same-day back-and-forth on a fast-moving product? LATAM’s overlap is hard to beat. Need round-the-clock QA and DevOps coverage? The Philippines extends your day. Building a large specialized backend or data team? India brings depth. Many Connext clients run a blend across regions.
| Region | Time zone | Overlap with U.S. business hours | Where it shines | Connext footprint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LATAM (Colombia, Mexico) | UTC−5 to −6 | Near-full overlap, same or adjacent to U.S. zones | Real-time collaboration: pair programming, live agile ceremonies, frontend and product engineering, bilingual (English/Spanish) teams | Active sites in Colombia and Mexico |
| Philippines | UTC+8 | Overlap via shifts; natural fit for U.S. evening / follow-the-sun coverage | Strong English and process maturity: QA, DevOps and on-call coverage, backend, structured workflows | Connext's largest delivery hub |
| India | UTC+5:30 | Partial overlap with U.S. mornings | Depth and scale: large specialized builds, data engineering, backend at scale | Active delivery region |
| Role | What they handle | Common stacks / tools |
|---|---|---|
| Backend Engineers | APIs, services, data models, system performance | Node, Python, Java, Go, .NET |
| Frontend Engineers | UI, component libraries, performance, accessibility | React, Vue, TypeScript, Angular |
| QA Engineers | Test automation, regression, release validation | Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Jest |
| DevOps Engineers | CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability, on-call | AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform |
| Mobile Engineers | iOS, Android, cross-platform builds | Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Flutter |
| Data Engineers | Pipelines, warehousing, transformation, analytics enablement | SQL, Spark, dbt, Airflow, Snowflake |
Connext staffs full, cross-functional engineering teams, not one-off contractors. Whether you’re standing up your first outsourced software development team or adding specialists to an existing one, common roles include:
When companies build offshore development teams, the failure point is almost never the hiring. It’s the transition. Connext’s onboarding is built around a structured 90-day ramp and a dual-leadership model.
Most software engineering outsourcing puts a vendor between you and the work. Connext is not that vendor, and your engineers are not a dev shop on the other end of a ticketing system. The engineers we place are employed under our EOR structure, but they work entirely under your direction.
For engineering teams, that distinction is the whole game. Code ownership, architectural continuity, IP, and accountability aren’t details you hand to a black box. Connext’s co-management model keeps control where it belongs: you own strategy and architecture, while we run recruitment, HR, IT, facilities, and day-to-day performance management.
The result is a team that compounds. Connext’s co-management approach is associated with attrition rates below 5% and roughly 25% gains in team productivity, which for engineering means knowledge that stays in the building instead of walking out every two quarters.
Cost or control. Speed or quality. You’ve been told to pick one. You don’t have to. Connext builds offshore engineering teams that feel like they were down the hall the whole time. Pick the region that fits your roadmap. We’ll handle everything it takes to get them shipping.
Engineering talent outsourcing is the practice of hiring dedicated software engineers who work full-time for your company from another country, fully embedded in your workflows and under your management. It covers roles like backend, frontend, QA, DevOps, mobile, and data engineering. Connext delivers engineering talent outsourcing across LATAM, the Philippines, and India.
It depends on how your team collaborates. LATAM (Colombia and Mexico) offers near-full overlap with U.S. business hours, ideal for real-time work and nearshore software development. The Philippines suits follow-the-sun coverage and QA/DevOps. India brings depth for large, specialized builds. Connext staffs all three and can blend regions.
Connext matches your team to a region by time-zone overlap, then embeds engineers directly in your standups, sprint cadence, and tools. A co-management model keeps onshore and offshore aligned through weekly syncs and shared KPIs.
All-in rates with Connext start at $1,800/month per engineer, covering recruitment, employment, payroll, compliance, facilities, and IT. Final cost varies by role, seniority, and region. Most companies see meaningful savings versus equivalent onshore engineering hires while keeping full control over output.
Most teams are operational in about 30 days. From there, Connext’s 90-day transition framework ramps the team from onboarding to full sprint velocity, with KPIs and performance reviews built in. Timelines vary with role complexity and team size.
You do. Connext’s engineers are embedded under your direction and your deliverable standards. Connext’s EOR structure handles employment, payroll, and compliance in the engineer’s home country; ownership of the work, the code, and the IP stays with your company.
