Remote developer rates in 2026
Offshore rates span $20–100/hr depending on region and seniority: South Asia at the low end, Eastern Europe and Latin America in the middle. Vetted senior remote engineers through Match.dev are published at $50–80/hr regardless of geography.

Whether you call it offshore, nearshore, or simply hiring remote developers, the trade-off has never been about talent — it is about screening risk and time zones. A pre-vetted network removes the first (10-hour paid assessment before you ever see a profile) and lets you pick the second: LatAm for US-hours overlap, Eastern Europe for EU hours.
How it works: you describe the role, we hand-pick candidates from the vetted pool, and you get first profiles within 48 hours. Every engineer has already passed a 10-hour paid assessment on a real-world project. There are no fees until you hire — and you get a $150 credit just for attending the intro call. Request a match.
