Hire Offshore Developers
from the Philippines
Stop paying Sydney rates for Sydney talent. Get senior, English-speaking engineers at 40–60% lower cost — integrated into your team from day one.
Trusted by teams across Australia, New Zealand, USA and Europe
Not outsourcing a project. Building your team.
Staff augmentation means the developer works for you — your tools, your codebase, your processes. We handle everything else.
Dedicated developers
Your developer works exclusively with your team. They join your Slack, attend your standups, and operate in your timezone. Not a freelancer juggling five clients.
Pre-vetted talent
Every developer passes technical assessments, background checks, and English proficiency interviews before we present them to any client. Less than 20% of applicants make it through.
No overhead
We handle HR, payroll, equipment, and compliance in the Philippines. You get a clean monthly invoice and a developer ready to build.

Common Questions
How long does it take to hire a developer through Lanex?
Most placements take 1–2 weeks from initial brief to start date. We maintain an active pool of pre-vetted developers, so we're not starting from scratch when you reach out.
What kind of contract do I sign?
You sign a month-to-month service agreement with Lanex. No long-term lock-in. You can scale up, scale down, or end the engagement with 30 days' notice.
Who owns the IP and code?
You do. The work produced by your developer belongs to your company. Full IP assignment is included in the standard contract.
Will the developer work in my timezone?
Yes. Our developers in the Philippines work Australian business hours by default. If you're in the US or UK, we'll match you with someone willing to shift their hours accordingly.
What happens if the developer isn't working out?
We offer a 30-day replacement guarantee. If the fit isn't right in the first month, we'll find you a replacement at no extra cost.
