Offshore EngineeringLayer C · What runs underneath
Offshore software development in Bangkok, by the engineers you interview
Most offshore arrangements go wrong in the same place: the people on the sales call are never the people writing the code. Here they are the same people. The engineer you meet in the first week is the engineer in your repository in month six, working your hours in English, on infrastructure you own.
- Named engineers on the work
- The named people you meet are the ones who build
- Month to month
- Retainers with thirty days' notice and no lock-in
- Overseas clients in production
- Systems we run today for companies outside Thailand
- Government-grade delivery
- A national system built for a Thai state department
01Before and after
Work piling up, not enough people
The backlog grows every sprint, nobody knows the legacy code, and specs get lost in hand-offs. Bangkok engineers join your team and work the way your team already works.

Your team
What is offshore development?
Offshore development means your product is built by engineers employed in another country, in this case Thailand, who work as part of your team rather than as a vendor you send tickets to. The practical questions are the ones that matter: who exactly is doing the work, which hours overlap with yours, who owns the code and the accounts, and how easily you can leave. This page answers each of them.
02What's included
Everything you need
Dedicated team
Named engineers reserved for you, billed per person per month. They sit in your chat, your stand-ups and your repositories. You direct the roadmap; we handle hiring, payroll, equipment and cover. Thirty days' notice ends it, and nothing has to be migrated because the work always lived in your accounts.
Staff augmentation
One or two experienced engineers embedded in a team you already run. They follow your process, your code review and your release cadence from the first week. Useful when the bottleneck is headcount, and the last thing you want is a second way of working.
Scoped project
You have a build with a clear finish line. We write the scope and the date with you, and you get continuous progress updates as we deliver. Changes are priced in writing when they arise, before any work on them starts.
How the day runs across time zones
Bangkok is GMT+7. That is a full working day with Singapore and most of Australia, the whole morning for Europe, and the late afternoon for the US West Coast. English is the working language in chat, documents and code. Infrastructure is defined as code in your own AWS, Google Cloud or on-premise accounts, so an audit or a handover is a read of the repository rather than a conversation.
03Who it's for
Who this is for
- Product companies in Singapore, Australia, Europe or North America that need experienced engineers without a six-month hiring cycle
- Founders who have been burned once by an agency that swapped the team after the contract was signed
- Engineering leads who want extra hands inside their own process, tools and code review, not a black box
- Companies with a scoped build that has to land on a date and a budget
04FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The engineers you meet before signing. We do not substitute people after the contract starts.
The engineers you interview before signing are the engineers on the work. If someone has to leave, you meet the replacement first and approve them. The company is run by its founder, who still writes code, and there is no layer of account managers between you and the team.
GMT+7. Full overlap with Singapore and Australia, mornings with Europe, late afternoons with the US West Coast.
Bangkok works on GMT+7 with no daylight saving. For Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Perth that is the same working day. Sydney and Melbourne overlap for most of it. London, Berlin and Amsterdam get our afternoon as their morning. For North America the overlap is shorter, so we agree a fixed daily window for synchronous work and keep the rest asynchronous in writing.
In your accounts from the first commit: repositories, cloud accounts and secrets are created in your name, and we are granted access.
Everything is created in your name from day one: source repositories, cloud accounts, domain registrations, secret stores. We are granted access to work in them, and you can revoke that access in an afternoon. There is no moment at the end of an engagement where something has to be transferred to you, because nothing ever sat with us.
Your tools, in English, with ongoing written progress summaries of what shipped and what is blocked.
We work in whichever tools you already use for chat, tickets and code review. You get short written progress summaries throughout: what shipped, what is in progress, what is blocked and what we need from you. Nobody has to chase us for an update.
Dedicated teams and augmentation are per engineer per month. Projects are quoted once the scope is written down.
Dedicated teams and staff augmentation are billed per engineer per month, with the rate set by seniority and agreed before anyone starts. Scoped projects are quoted once the scope is written down. We do not publish rates because they depend on the mix of people; after one scoping call we send you the number in writing.
A national system for a Thai government department, and production systems for overseas clients we run today.
The largest engagement is a nationwide system for a Thai state department, delivered against a formal terms-of-reference with audit, logging and retention requirements that had to be met exactly. Alongside that we build and operate production systems for companies outside Thailand. We do not name clients on this site, but we will walk you through the relevant work on a call.
Start with the problem
Tell us what you are building and who you have so far.
A thirty-minute call is enough to say which model fits, who from our side would be on it, and roughly what it costs. If we are not the right fit we will say so on that call.
