Outsource Software Development to Empiric Infotech LLP

Outsource software development to Empiric Infotech LLP and you get one remote dedicated developer in India at $2,000 USD per month for 160 to 172 hours of full-time, exclusive work, billed monthly upfront, with a 7-day risk-free trial. Not a fixed-price project bid. Not a contractor you re-hire every quarter. A named engineer working in your repository and your cloud account, month after month, with a senior team lead reviewing and testing every delivery before it reaches you. That is the whole model: no placement fee, no markup on hours, no change order, no minimum term. You can run the same engagement hourly instead, at $15 an hour for standard development work and $25 an hour for AI work, if your budget is scoped that way. Most teams that outsource software development for a roadmap rather than a one-off task take the monthly seat, because the monthly seat is what keeps the same person on the codebase in month nine.

What you actually get when you outsource software development to us

Outsourcing goes wrong in predictable places: the people rotate, the scope becomes a negotiation, and the code ends up somewhere you cannot reach it. Every item below exists because of one of those failures.

A named engineer, not a bench and not a ticket queue

One developer, full-time and exclusive to you for 160 to 172 hours a month, introduced by name on day one. You get their calendar, their Slack handle and their standup, not an account manager relaying messages to an anonymous delivery pool. That is the difference between outsourcing a roadmap and outsourcing a task list.

Working software in production, not a deliverables list

Real authentication, real data, real integrations, deployed to staging and production, 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.

Your code in your repository, your app in your cloud

We work inside your GitHub or GitLab organisation and your own production-grade cloud account from day one: AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Hetzner or Hostinger, with Vercel for the frontend where it suits the project. The code, the infrastructure, the domain and the data stay yours throughout. Vendor lock-in is not a risk we ask you to accept, because there is nothing of yours in our accounts to lock.

Whatever the product needs: web, mobile, APIs, data, AI

Web applications in React or Next.js with TypeScript, backends in Node.js or Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), mobile apps in Flutter, React Native or native iOS and Android, the APIs and integrations between them, a Postgres or MongoDB data layer, background jobs and queues, and AI features (agents, retrieval, chat and voice interfaces, n8n and MCP work) where they earn their place. One dedicated developer owns a small to medium product end to end. A small dedicated team handles a larger one.

A backend and a data model that survive real load

REST or GraphQL APIs, a schema designed before it is written, query performance treated as a feature, Redis for cache and jobs, and the integrations a real product needs: payments, transactional email, search, file storage, auth providers and third-party APIs. Built so the second hard quarter does not require a rewrite.

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.

Deploy, CI and observability you can run without us

Docker images, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, separate staging and production environments, Sentry for errors, logs and metrics, and a deploy command your own team can run. If we disappeared tomorrow you could ship a hotfix this afternoon. That is the test an outsourcing arrangement should pass, and most do not.

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 outsourcing engagement starts, step by step

Five steps, and the whole sequence takes days rather than the six to twelve weeks a traditional outsourcing procurement cycle burns before anyone writes code.

1

A scoping call, same week

Thirty to forty-five minutes in your time zone. 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.

2

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 your currency, monthly or hourly. No twenty-page statement of work, no procurement theatre, no pressure to sign the same week.

3

Onboarding, within 48 hours of sign-off

Your repository, your cloud 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.

4

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.

5

A rolling monthly engagement

Billed monthly upfront. 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: $2,000 a month, or $15 an hour

Our rates are published, flat and identical for every client. One dedicated developer is $2,000 USD per month for 160 to 172 hours of full-time, exclusive work in your repository and your cloud account, which works out at roughly $11.63 to $12.50 an effective hour. Prefer hourly? Standard development is $15 per hour and AI work is $25 per hour. Nothing is quoted per client and nothing is negotiated per deal. Billed monthly upfront, 7-day risk-free trial, 7 days notice to stop.

Talk to us
The monthly seat already contains what most outsourcing vendors bill separately: senior team lead code review on every change, functional testing against the agreed scope, project management and reporting, onboarding into your repository and cloud, a developer swap inside the 7-day window, and the right to scale a seat up or down month to month without a re-contract. There is no placement fee, no markup on hours, no ramp-up billed at full rate, and no change order.

What the first 90 days of an outsourced build look like

A dedicated engagement is a rolling arrangement, not a Gantt chart with a hard stop. This is the shape the first three months usually take.

  1. 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. Day 7 is your decision point: continue, swap the developer, or take the refund.

  2. 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, CI green, error tracking wired, and a backlog you can see and re-order. Every change that shipped went through code review and pre-delivery testing.

  3. Month 2

    Depth, integrations, and the rough edges

    Secondary flows, the admin or back-office surface, and the integrations a real product needs: payments, transactional email, analytics, search, third-party APIs. First round of UI polish, and monitoring tuned so you hear about problems before your users do.

  4. Month 3

    Release-ready, then ahead of the roadmap

    A performance pass, a security pass on the obvious surfaces, a real release, and a developer who is now ahead of you on the backlog rather than behind it. If the roadmap grew, this is the natural point to add a second seat.

Two honest caveats. The salary figure is a national median across all seniority levels, so a junior hire costs less and a senior in a major metro costs considerably more. The marketplace band is a publicly posted rate range on those platforms in 2026, not a quote: listings change and the rate you are shown depends on who applies. Neither figure is a promise about your situation. The only number on this page that is a commitment is ours, $2,000 a month for 160 to 172 hours.

Working hours and time zone overlap when you outsource to India

Our team works 09:30 AM - 07:30 PM IST and a project manager is on call 07:30 AM - 10:30 PM IST, Monday to Friday. Here is exactly when that lands for clients in the US, Europe and Australia, your region first.

Why the contract shape matters more than the country

Outsourcing software development means an external team builds and maintains software you own, under your direction, instead of you recruiting, employing and managing those engineers yourself. The part that decides whether it works is not the country. It is the contract shape. There are three on the market and they behave very differently. Fixed-price project outsourcing gives you a statement of work and a vendor delivering against it, with every change after signature priced as a change order. That is fine for a build with a frozen, fully understood scope, and poor for a product roadmap, which is almost never frozen. Hourly contracting through a staffing marketplace is low friction to start and expensive to keep, because continuity, code review and architectural memory are all on you. A dedicated offshore team on a flat monthly rate gives you named engineers who work only on your product, inside your process, on a rolling monthly agreement. That is what Empiric Infotech LLP sells, and it is the shape that survives a roadmap that keeps moving.

An offshore software development company in India gives a buyer three things a domestic vendor structurally cannot match at the same time: a rate that is a fraction of a loaded local salary, a deep enough engineering market to staff a replacement or an extra seat in 48 hours, and an overnight working day that turns your evening handoff into finished work by your morning. Empiric Infotech LLP has been building production software from Surat, India since 2020, with a US office in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania for contracting and invoicing. The legal side is deliberately boring: we sign your MSA, NDA, SOW and DPA, a W-8BEN-E is on file for US clients, and your code and infrastructure never leave your own accounts.

The depth shows up in the parts a tutorial skips: data modeling that holds up under real load, query performance, deploys that survive a launch-day traffic spike, observability that survives a 3 AM page, security defaults that survive a review, and the honesty to tell you when your project actually needs a specialist, a bigger team, or a different approach entirely than the one you asked us to price. We would rather lose a month of revenue than take an engagement we cannot ship. If you want the seat-by-seat view of the same offer, read our hire dedicated developers page.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

At Empiric Infotech LLP it is $2,000 USD per month per dedicated developer for 160 to 172 hours of full-time, exclusive work, billed monthly upfront, with a 7-day risk-free trial. In the EU the same seat is EUR 2,000 per month, and in Australia it is AUD $3,000 per month. Hourly engagements are $15 per hour for standard development and $25 per hour for AI work (AUD $25 and AUD $40 in Australia). There is no placement fee, no markup on hours, and no minimum term.

An offshore software development company builds and maintains software for clients in a different country and time zone from its own engineering team. Empiric Infotech LLP is an offshore software development company headquartered in Surat, India, with a US office in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, serving clients in the USA, Europe and Australia. We work as a dedicated team on a flat monthly rate rather than as a fixed-price project vendor, so the same named developers stay on your product month after month.

Offshore developer rates vary widely by country and vendor, so the only rate we will state as fact is ours: $2,000 USD per month for a dedicated developer working 160 to 172 hours, which is roughly $11.63 to $12.50 an effective hour, or $15 per hour standard and $25 per hour for AI work if you prefer hourly billing. That rate already includes senior team lead code review, functional testing and project management, which many outsourcing vendors bill as separate line items.

Our developers work 09:30 to 19:30 IST, Monday to Friday, which is where the 160 to 172 billable hours a month comes from. European teams get five to seven live hours a day, from their morning into mid-afternoon, Australian teams get two to three hours across their afternoon on AEST and about five in Perth, and US East and Central teams get a live morning window followed by a full offshore day of shipped work landing before their afternoon ends. US Mountain and Pacific teams run on a standing morning call plus asynchronous pull-request review. If a live nine-to-five overlap with a US time zone is a hard requirement, an India-based partner is the wrong fit and we will say so on the scoping call.

You do, from day one. Your developer works inside your GitHub or GitLab organisation and your own AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean or Hetzner account, so the code, the infrastructure, the domain and the data are in your accounts throughout the engagement. We sign your MSA, NDA, SOW and DPA, and a W-8BEN-E is on file for US clients. There is nothing to transfer or claw back when an engagement ends.

Within 48 hours of sign-off. The sequence is a scoping call of thirty to forty-five minutes, a written scope and team proposal 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.

A senior team lead, and it is included in the $2,000 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. On a multi-developer engagement that same lead keeps the team aligned. If you have your own review process, your developer works inside it.

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 and no penalty. 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 pushes both sides to argue about scope instead of shipping, and it turns every roadmap change into a change order. 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 a large share of outsourcing engagements start that way. Feature work, refactors, performance work, migrations, upgrades and clearing a bug backlog on a codebase somebody else wrote. 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.
