Outsource Software Development to Empiric Infotech LLP
Outsource software development to Empiric Infotech LLP, an offshore software development company in Surat, India serving Australian founders and product teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and you get one remote dedicated developer at AUD $3,000 per month for 160 to 172 hours of full-time, exclusive work, not a fixed-price bid and not a marketplace contractor. The India working day of 09:30 to 19:30 IST runs 2:00 PM to midnight on AEST and midday to 10:00 PM in Perth, which is two to three live hours inside a Sydney working afternoon and about five inside a Perth one, so standups, design review and releases happen live rather than overnight, and a senior team lead reviews and tests every change before it reaches you. Your developer works inside your GitHub or GitLab organisation and your own AWS, Azure or GCP account, with ap-southeast-2 Sydney hosting when you need Australian data residency, and we sign your MSA, NDA, SOW and a DPA aligned to the Australian Privacy Principles.
What Australian companies get when they outsource software development to us
A running product in your own cloud account, in ap-southeast-2 when residency matters, a named developer live across your afternoon, a senior lead reviewing and testing every release, and a vendor engagement with no superannuation, payroll tax or Fair Work exposure attached.
A named engineer live across your afternoon
One developer, full-time and exclusive to you for 160 to 172 hours a month, introduced by name on day one. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane teams get two to three live hours from 2:00 PM AEST, Perth about five from midday, and the developer stays online to around midnight AEST. That is enough for standup, pair-coding, design review and a release in the same day, which is a materially better rhythm than the overnight-only handoff most Australian teams expect from offshore delivery.
Working software in production, in ap-southeast-2 when it matters
Real authentication, real data, real payments through Stripe, Pin Payments or Airwallex, deployed to staging and production in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) where residency matters, monitored, and able to take load. The output is a product your users and your team can use, not a proof of concept that falls over the first time it leaves a demo environment.
Privacy Act aware handling, not an afterthought
We sign a DPA aligned to the Australian Privacy Principles, and because your developer works inside your own accounts, personal information stays in your systems rather than moving into a vendor environment. Where APP 8 cross-border disclosure is in scope we help you document what is accessed, by whom, from where, and under what contractual protection, and we implement retention and deletion rather than promising it. We are a vendor and not your privacy officer, so the notifiable-breach obligations stay yours, and we will tell you plainly which controls are code and which are policy.
Your code in your repository, your app in your own cloud account
We work inside your GitHub or GitLab organisation and your own AWS, Azure, GCP or DigitalOcean account from day one. The code, the infrastructure, the domain and the data stay yours throughout, and access is granted per person and revoked the day an engagement ends. There is no transfer project at the end because nothing of yours was ever in our accounts.
The Australian product stack, end to end
React or Next.js with TypeScript on the front, Node.js or Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI) behind it, Flutter, React Native or native iOS and Android on mobile, Postgres or MongoDB for data, Redis for cache and jobs, and the integrations an Australian product actually needs: Stripe, Pin Payments or Airwallex, transactional email, search, file storage, auth providers, plus AI features (agents, retrieval, chat and voice, n8n and MCP work) where they earn their place.
Quality control built into the rate, not a separate line item
Every change is reviewed and tested by a senior team lead before it reaches you: code review, functional testing against the agreed scope, and a sign-off. On a multi-developer engagement that same lead keeps the team aligned and owns the release. We do not bill a QA seat, a tech-lead line item, or a project-management percentage on top of developer hours. If you already have a review process, your developer works inside yours instead.
Contracting your legal and finance teams can sign quickly
Outsourcing software development is mostly a paperwork question until it is a code question. We sign your MSA, NDA, SOW and DPA rather than pushing our own paper, including a DPA aligned to the Australian Privacy Principles. It is a vendor engagement, not labour hire, so there is no superannuation, no state payroll tax and no Fair Work obligation attached to it, and our services are GST-free as an export. Invoicing is monthly in AUD by bank transfer or card. The code, the infrastructure, the domain and the data sit in your accounts from day one, so there is nothing to claw back when an engagement ends.
The same named developer in month nine
Outsourcing fails when the people rotate. A dedicated engagement is one named engineer, full-time and exclusive to you, shipping features, fixes, performance work, migrations and scaling work month after month. They know why the data model looks the way it does, so the second hard quarter does not turn into an archaeology exercise. If you ever want a different developer rather than an exit, we swap the seat inside the 7-day window at no cost.

How an Australian outsourcing engagement starts, step by step
Five steps, on an Australian afternoon slot, in AUD. The whole sequence takes days rather than the months an Australian technical hire currently takes to run.
A scoping call, same week
Thirty to forty-five minutes on an Australian afternoon slot, AEST or AWST. You walk us through the product, the stack you are on or want to be on, the timeline, and the constraints. If an offshore dedicated team is the wrong shape for what you are describing, this is where we say so. No charge and no obligation.
A written scope and team proposal, within 24 hours
What we would build in month one, who we would put on it (one dedicated developer to start, or a small dedicated team with a senior team lead reviewing the work where the scope warrants it), and the flat price in AUD, monthly or hourly, GST-free as an export of services. No twenty-page statement of work, no procurement theatre, no pressure to sign the same week.
Onboarding, within 48 hours of sign-off
Your repository, your AWS, Azure, GCP or DigitalOcean account, your tracker (Linear, Jira, Asana or GitHub Projects), your Slack, a working local environment, and the first pull request merged. We work inside your accounts, not ours, so onboarding is access rather than migration.
A 7-day risk-free trial
The agreed first deliverable ships inside week one, reviewed and tested by the senior team lead. Day 7 is the decision point. If the fit is wrong you get a full refund, with no argument and no exit interview. If you want a different developer instead of an exit, we swap the seat at no cost.
A rolling monthly engagement
Billed monthly upfront in AUD by bank transfer or card, GST-free as an export of services. Re-prioritise the backlog whenever the roadmap moves. Seven days notice to stop, no auto-renewal, no minimum term, no penalty. Scale up or down a developer at a time as the work demands.
Offshore developer rates for Australian clients: AUD $3,000 a month, or AUD $25 an hour
One dedicated developer is AUD $3,000 per month for 160 to 172 hours of full-time, exclusive work in your repository and your own cloud account, with two to three hours of daily live overlap on AEST, about five in Perth, and senior team lead review and testing included. That is roughly AUD $17.44 to $18.75 an effective hour. Prefer hourly? Standard development is AUD $25 per hour and AI work is AUD $40 per hour. Billed monthly upfront, GST-free as an export of services, with a 7-day risk-free trial and 7 days notice to stop.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- AUD $25 per hour for standard development, AUD $40 per hour for AI work
- Time tracked, a weekly report, billed in AUD for what you use
- Best for a short, defined piece of work rather than a roadmap
- Senior-lead code review and pre-delivery testing included
Monthly plan
- One dedicated developer, full-time and exclusive, 160 to 172 hours a month
- Roughly AUD $17.44 to $18.75 an effective hour, the best value for ongoing work
- Two to three live hours across your afternoon on AEST, about five in Perth
- No superannuation, no payroll tax, no Fair Work obligations, GST-free as an export
- 7-day risk-free trial, billed monthly upfront in AUD, 7 days notice to stop
Dedicated team
- A small dedicated team at the same flat rate per developer
- A senior team lead who reviews and tests every release and keeps the team aligned
- Add a designer where the build needs UI/UX work, at the same flat rate
- Add a developer in 48 hours with no re-contracting, drop one with 7 days notice
What the first 90 days look like for an Australian outsourced build
Rolling, not a fixed Gantt chart. This is the shape the first three months usually take on an Australian engagement.
- Week 1
Access, environment, and the trial deliverable
Repository and cloud-account access, a working local environment, the first pull request reviewed and merged, and the agreed trial scope tested and shipped to staging. Standup lands in your afternoon from day one. Day 7 is your decision point: continue, swap the developer, or take the refund.
- Month 1
The core of the product, in production
The main flow live behind a login: authentication, the primary feature, the data model, deployed to staging and production in ap-southeast-2 where residency requires it, CI green, Sentry wired, and a backlog you can see and re-order. Every change shipped went through code review and pre-delivery testing.
- Month 2
Depth, integrations, and the rough edges
Secondary flows, the admin or back-office surface, and the integrations an Australian product needs: Stripe, Pin Payments or Airwallex billing, transactional email, analytics, search, third-party APIs. First round of UI polish, and monitoring tuned so you hear about problems before your customers do.
- Month 3
Release-ready, then ahead of the roadmap
A performance pass, a security and privacy pass covering the Australian Privacy Principles basics plus ISO 27001 groundwork if you are heading there, a real release, and a developer who is now ahead of you on the backlog. If the roadmap grew, this is the natural point to add a second seat.
Outsourcing options for an Australian team: a dedicated offshore developer, a fixed-price vendor, marketplace hours, or a local in-house hire
| Empiric Infotech (offshore dedicated developer) | Fixed-price outsourcing vendor | Staffing marketplace (Upwork, Toptal) | Local in-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headline cost | AUD $3,000 per month flat, or AUD $25 an hour (AUD $40 an hour for AI work) | A fixed bid per statement of work, re-quoted on every change | $30 to $150 USD an hour, publicly posted rates | A local salary plus on-costs. We do not publish an Australian salary estimate we cannot source |
| Cost of a 160 to 172 hour month | AUD $3,000, the same every month | Whatever the bid plus the change orders add up to | Roughly $4,800 to $25,800 USD | Salary plus superannuation at 12% of ordinary time earnings from 1 July 2025 (Australian Taxation Office), state payroll tax, leave loading and equipment |
| Effective hourly | AUD $17.44 to $18.75 | Not visible until the final invoice | $30 to $150 USD, plus platform fees | Ask your own recruiter for a current market number |
| Time to start | 48 hours after sign-off | 2 to 6 weeks for proposal, statement of work and kickoff | Days to weeks per contributor | A hiring cycle measured in months, plus a notice period |
| Code review and testing | A senior team lead reviews and tests every delivery, included in the rate | Per vendor, often the same juniors who wrote it | On you, per contributor | Your own process, if you have one |
| When the scope changes | Re-prioritise the backlog, no change order | Change order, re-quote, re-sign | Renegotiate the rate or the hours | Reassign internally, if you have the bench |
| Continuity | The same named developer, month after month | Until the statement of work is fulfilled | Until the contract ends | Until they resign |
| Commitment and exit | Monthly upfront, 7 days notice, 7-day risk-free trial | The contract term, then a separate maintenance retainer | Per contract, per contributor | Employment contract, notice period and Fair Work obligations |
| Scaling up or down | Add or drop a developer at the same flat rate in 48 hours | A new statement of work for more scope | Find and onboard another contributor | Hire again, or make a role redundant |
| Who owns the code | You, in your repository and your cloud account, from day one | You on final payment, delivery sometimes staged | You per contract, check the IP-assignment clause | You |
| Employment, tax and invoicing | One monthly invoice in AUD, GST-free as an export of services. No superannuation, no payroll tax, no Fair Work obligations | Per vendor terms, often milestone invoicing | Per contributor. ABN, contractor tests and super obligations are on you to assess | Salary plus superannuation, payroll tax, leave loading and workers compensation |
The marketplace band is a publicly posted rate range on those platforms in 2026, in USD, not a quote. On the in-house column we have deliberately left the salary out: Australian developer pay varies widely by city and seniority and we will not publish a figure we cannot source, so ask your own recruiter and add the on-costs. The superannuation guarantee rate is the Australian Taxation Office published rate. The only number here that is a commitment is ours, AUD $3,000 a month for 160 to 172 hours.

Why Australian teams outsource software development offshore
The Australian technical hiring market is the first reason, and it is a structural one rather than a cyclical one. The pool of experienced product engineers in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane is small relative to demand, a search runs for months, and the offer at the end carries on-costs an overseas buyer often forgets: the superannuation guarantee is 12% of ordinary time earnings from 1 July 2025 (Australian Taxation Office), state payroll tax applies above the relevant threshold, and leave loading, equipment and workers compensation sit on top. A dedicated offshore developer from Empiric Infotech LLP is AUD $3,000 a month for 160 to 172 hours, starts inside 48 hours, and stops with 7 days notice. We do not publish an Australian salary comparison, because we will not quote a number we cannot source. Put our rate next to your recruiter's current figure plus the on-costs and the arithmetic will speak for itself.
The second reason is the time zone, and Australia gets the better half of it. India is four and a half to five and a half hours behind the eastern seaboard depending on daylight saving, which turns into two to three live hours across your afternoon on AEST and about five for Perth. That is enough to run standup, pair on a hard problem, review a design and coordinate a release inside the same day, then have the rest of the offshore working day land overnight as shipped work with a senior team lead's review already on it. Most Australian teams expect an overnight-only handoff from offshore delivery and are surprised there is a live afternoon window at all.
The third reason is that the engagement shape is a vendor arrangement rather than labour hire. There is no superannuation, no payroll tax, no leave accrual, no Fair Work exposure and no redundancy provision attached to a monthly seat, and our services are GST-free as an export of services. Empiric Infotech LLP has been building production software since 2020, including Australian and trans-Tasman products, and can keep production in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) when residency matters. We sign a DPA aligned to the Australian Privacy Principles, keep your code and infrastructure in your own accounts, and tell you honestly when a project needs a specialist or a bigger team rather than the seat you already have.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
AUD $3,000 per month per dedicated developer for 160 to 172 hours of full-time, exclusive work, billed monthly upfront and GST-free as an export of services, with a 7-day risk-free trial. That is roughly AUD $17.44 to $18.75 an effective hour. Hourly engagements are AUD $25 per hour for standard development and AUD $40 per hour for AI work. There is no placement fee, no markup on hours, no minimum term and no change orders.
No. It is a monthly vendor engagement rather than employment or labour hire, so there is no superannuation guarantee, no state payroll tax, no leave accrual, no workers compensation premium and no Fair Work obligation attached to it. For context on the alternative, the superannuation guarantee is 12% of ordinary time earnings from 1 July 2025 (Australian Taxation Office), before payroll tax and leave loading. Our services are GST-free as an export of services and invoiced monthly in AUD.
Our developers work 09:30 to 19:30 IST, Monday to Friday. That gives Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane teams two to three live hours across the afternoon, from 2:00 PM AEST, and Perth about five from midday. Standup, pair-coding, design review and release coordination happen live, then the rest of the offshore day lands overnight as shipped work with a senior team lead's review already on it, ready for your morning.
Yes. We work inside your own AWS, Azure or GCP account and can keep every production environment in ap-southeast-2 (Sydney). Because the accounts are yours, residency is a configuration you control and can audit rather than a vendor promise, and access is granted per person and revoked the day an engagement ends. We sign a DPA aligned to the Australian Privacy Principles, and where APP 8 cross-border disclosure is in scope we help you document what is accessed, by whom and under what protection.
You do, from day one. Your GitHub or GitLab organisation, your cloud account, your domain, your data. We work inside your accounts rather than ours, so there is nothing to transfer or claw back at the end of an engagement, and no leverage held over your product.
A senior team lead, included in the AUD $3,000 monthly rate. Every change goes through code review, functional testing against the agreed scope, and a sign-off before it reaches you. We do not bill a separate QA seat, a tech-lead line item, or a project-management percentage. On a multi-developer engagement that same lead keeps the team aligned.
Within 48 hours of sign-off. A scoping call of thirty to forty-five minutes on an Australian afternoon slot, a written scope and team proposal in AUD back within 24 hours, then onboarding into your repository, cloud account and tracker. The agreed first deliverable ships inside week one, reviewed and tested by a senior team lead.
The first 7 days are risk-free: if the fit is wrong, you get a full refund. After that the engagement is billed monthly with 7 days notice to stop, with no auto-renewal, no minimum term, no penalty and no Fair Work lock-in. If you want a different developer rather than an exit, we swap the seat inside the 7-day window at no cost.
No. Fixed-price bidding turns every roadmap change into a change order and gives the engagement a hard stop the day the statement of work is fulfilled. We sell a dedicated developer or a small dedicated team on a rolling monthly rate, or hours if your budget is scoped that way. You re-prioritise the backlog whenever you like, and the price does not move.
Yes, and many engagements start that way. Feature work, refactors, performance work, migrations, framework upgrades and clearing a bug backlog on a codebase somebody else wrote. Afternoon standup, pull-request review, your tracker, your deploy pipeline, your Slack. We will read the repository first and tell you honestly what we see, including if the honest answer is that a rewrite would cost you less than another year of patching.
