Offshore Software Development Jobs

what to expect

A lot of opportunities for Software Engineering/Development will be within the legal & financial services spaces where you will develop internal software or software to be used within that client base. Some of these organisations are international leaders and offer incredible exposure – quite a large focus will be on security which is paramount within these types of organisations.


Compared to elsewhere, in Cayman, Bermuda and the BVI, teams are sometimes smaller and may not be experts in all areas like front end specialist/ server-side. Instead, your role will be more all-encompassing, giving exposure to the full lifestyle of the software and products. You will also have opportunities to take leadership more quickly than elsewhere, providing a launchpad for further career development. 

Earning Potential

Higher, tax-free, or low-tax salaries in offshore jurisdictions make it an attractive prospect for those looking to improve their earning potential.

Career Potential

There is an incredible opportunity to gain strong fintech/legal industry experience working on impactful projects. You may also gain exposure to leadership capacity more quickly/more exposure to other areas when working offshore.

Work-Life Balance

Life offshore is often more balanced, with shorter commutes and more balanced work hours than onshore. This topped with an island lifestyle makes for paradise found.

What Experience is Needed?

90% of software development roles offshore are .NET full-stack opportunities. You will need to have good experience working with .NET-based tech, specifically c# and more recently .NET core which is now being used within a large majority of companies.


You will typically need to have strong front-end exposure also ideally with some of the JavaScript frameworks. Typically, the roles would be at a mid-senior level with generally at least 3 years’ experience required. There are sometimes also leadership level roles within the software engineering space with software architect & development manager positions appearing from time to time.  Aside from .NET opportunities, there are sometimes Python development roles, but they come up much less frequently.
