Hire Expert Remote Developers

Do you need to hire remote developers but are unsure how or where to find the best ones?

Since Statista states that there are 27.7 million software developers globally, finding the right remote developers can initially seem like a nightmare.  

The good news is that you have come to the right place. This article will cover the USA's top 10 software development companies and how best to hire remote developers in 2025. As a little bonus, I have included a brief guide on how much it costs to hire a remote software developer, too. 

The Top 10 Software Development Companies in the USA 2025 (Tested)

I thought I would start by giving you an idea of what kinds of software development companies are out there. 

Yes, you heard me right. Most companies would never recommend the competition; however, we at DevTeam.Space are so confident in the comprehensive remote development services that we offer that we are more than happy for you to check out the competition before coming back to us (we have a 95% customer retention rate). 

After lots of phone calls and emails, as well as reviewing customer feedback on Clutch and Glassdoor, I have put together a comprehensive list of the top software development platforms where you can hire great remote developers.

2. Aloa - Dedicated Outstaff Development Teams 

Aloa is an up-and-coming software development platform that allows companies to hire remote development teams to help them build their software products. Given its rigorous developer vetting process, Aloa is one of those companies that, according to its Clutch feedback, delivers on its promises. 

They have development teams to build web and mobile apps, so they are a good option if you are looking for remote engineers to help you with this. 

Given that they have developed what is, in effect, a hybrid freelancer/agency business model, Aloa is able to offer several of the benefits of both models, including scalability with vetted developers, third-party accountability, etc.

Why Hire Developers from Aloa

• Hire developers or development teams
• Good vetting process
• Experience in both web and mobile application development
• Offer a good level of accountability.

3. Intellisoft software development company

Intellisoft is an app development company that has experienced teams of in-house developers. They offer to outsource their specialists to help you scale your existing team remotely. 

They have expertise in building all kinds of Android and iOS applications, wearable applications, and more. They even have niche skills, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence.   

They have over 60+ remote developers available and offices in Las Vegas, USA, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Bulgaria. Although they only have a few reviews on Clutch, all of them are good. 

Why Hire Developers from Intellisoft

• Offices in the USA, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Bulgaria
• Can outsource developers
• Primary expertise is in mobile app development
• Good customer feedback.

4. RetroCube software development company

RetroCube is a USA/India-based development company with probably the coolest name on this list. Their mission is to “deliver smart mobile application solutions for businesses of all sectors.” 

While they do not allow client companies to outsource their remote developers or development teams directly, they offer to undertake the end-to-end software development for you. For those of you who are considering going this route, RetroCube is worth shortlisting. 

Their Clutch profile indicates that around 50% of their work is in mobile app development, with very little in web development, AI, ML, blockchain, etc. 

Why Hire Developers from RetroCube

• USA/India-based company
• End-to-end in-house project development only. 
• Mobile app focuses on some experience in AI, ML, and blockchain development.

5. Stack Overflow hiring platform

Every developer knows Stack Overflow, which launched in 2008 and has become the largest community of developers on the planet. 

While it is much more than just a hiring platform (it primarily focuses on being a place where developers can meet and exchange their knowledge and experience), its hiring board is useful for finding and hiring remote developers. 

You need to know what you are doing when hiring from Stack Overflow, but to be honest, this is no different from hiring from freelancer platforms. One great thing I love about Stack Overflow is that remote developers can easily share code via the platform, so client companies and other developers can easily scrutinize it. 

Why Hire Developers from Stack Overflow

• Huge community of remote developers for hire
• The best freelancer platform out there
• Job posting board so that you can undertake the whole hiring process by yourself
• Developers are able to share their past project code with you easily. 
• You can consult the community to ask any questions you might have.

 6. OpenXCell development company

OpenXCell is another full-stack development company with a good reputation among its past clients. It offers mobile and web development, as well as other custom solutions using technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence. It also offers UI and UX designers, QA, and software testing. 

The company, headquartered in the United States, has an impressive record in mobile app development. It claims to have launched over 3000 apps on various app stores over the last 14 years. 

On the call, OpenXCell said they have remote developers worldwide, which is handy if you are not based in the U.S. 

Why Hire Developers from OpenXCell

• Full-stack development company
• Over 3000 projects completed so far
• Offer a good range of remote development services
• Good reputation.

7. Blue Rocket remote software development

Blue Rocket is not only a cool name for a company, but it also has a great website. This company has a good reputation and has been around since 2008. They have created mobile apps for AAA and Best Buy, which, when I tested, worked well and seemed very intuitive. 

While it is frustrating that you cannot outstaff individual developers, I liked the sound of their in-house “Quantum Agile” development process. Having a bulletproof process is one key to ensuring a successful end product. 

Another advantage of outsourcing your project to a dedicated software development company that uses full-time employees is that the company's interest is to keep its remote software professionals fully up to date with the latest advancements in specific technologies through retraining courses. 

If you are looking to outsource your project development, be sure to shortlist Blue Rocket.  

Why Hire Developers from BlueRocket

• End-to-end remote development service
• More than 15 years of development experience
• Unique remote development process
• Well-trained and motivated staff
• Good customer feedback.

8. Archtouch/ remote developers

Archtouch is based in San Francisco and has been creating mobile apps and applications using blockchain, AI, and VR for the last decade. The platform is a full-stack development company with a good reputation based on past client feedback. 

Archtouch has completed over 400 projects for companies like NBC, Salesforce, and Audi. Today, Archtouch has around 50 remote employees, which seems set to grow as the company does if they keep up the hard work. 

Archtouch should be on your consideration list if you want to outsource your end-to-end project development. 

Why Hire Remote Developers from Archtouch

• End-to-end development company
• Have completed lots of projects
• Lots of experience
• Good customer feedback.

9. Toptal

Toptal is the largest freelance platform focused on software development. Though the company is run remotely and has no physical head office, it is registered in the United States. 

It has a huge number of remote freelancers who offer their services through the platform. Toptal vets all its freelancers and claims to hire only the top 3%. They confirmed this to me on the call. 

In essence, what Toptal does is link clients with freelancers and then lets you get on with it. They state that you can onboard remote developers in less than 48 hours. Toptal then steps back and only handles the payroll and any major issues with your developer. They have remote project managers available, but you must hire them separately.   

Why Hire Developers from Toptal

• A large community of developers and other software experts
• Good vetting process
• Can outstaff a developer in less than 48 hours
• The company handles the payroll.

10. FlexJobs

Founded back in 2007 by Sara Sutton, FlexJobs is a general-purpose remote worker platform. 

While I would not usually recommend a general-purpose freelancer site, or any freelancer platform in general, in the interest of diversity, as well as the fact that FlexJobs is a reputable hiring platform, FlexJobs is a good option if you are looking to hire not just developers but also marketers, etc., all from one place. 

One thing I like about this platform is that they do actually appear to screen their freelancers properly. Added to this, they also provide their freelancers with resources to upskill, which is a huge benefit to clients.  

While you should be wary of hiring freelance developers, if you want to hire remote developers and other professionals all under one roof, then FlexJobs is a great option. 

Why Hire Remote Developers from FlexJobs

• Reputable general freelancer platform
• You can find not just developers, but everything from writers to marketers 
• They offer training resources to encourage their remote developers to upskill.

How to Hire a Remote Developer?

1. Define your project requirements
2. Use your project requirements to outline the technologies and developer skills you will need
3. Choose the right hiring platform
4. Shortlist applicants (for freelancer sites only) and prepare interviews
5. Primary interview
6. Skills interview 
7. Final interview
8. Check references thoroughly
9. Onboard.

The basic steps above will allow you to onboard a developer. However, I hear you asking, how do I find the specific developer who is right for my unique project requirements?

Well, drawing on my decade or so working in this business, here are some things you can do to ensure you get that perfect remote developer:

1. Listen to your whole team, including your developers, when finalizing your technologies. 

It was only a few weeks ago that I was on a call when a senior developer with over 15 years of experience developing mobile apps started to voice his concern that a client refused to take his advice regarding a specific development framework. 

Due to his immense experience, this developer could see the problems blocking the tracks but, despite voicing them to the client, could not get the client to change their mind. The developer is now in the process of doing all the extra legwork to try to dampen the effect of using this less suitable framework for the project. 

Please take the advice of any team members who have the knowledge and experience to help. 

2. Avoid freelancers and outsource remote developers from a software development company.

The hiring platform that you outsource your remote engineers and developers from should be a software development company and not a freelance platform (unless you are building a hobby project). 

“Hiring the best people is your most important task.” - Steve Jobs

You won’t believe the sheer number of failing projects that companies come to us every year to fix. 

I would estimate that around 75% of them come to us because of one or more cowboy freelancers who have either oversold their abilities during the interview or simply are unable to juggle multiple projects, and so were only giving the project 40% effort. In a few cases, the freelancer disappeared entirely, never to be heard from again. 

Listen, let me be perfectly honest: with so much at stake here, why take the risk and hire freelancers? 

Glad you agree. 

I can’t recommend enough the need to hire remote engineers and developers from a reputable software development company. So many highly respected companies now allow companies to outsource their developers and development teams that there are enough accountable developers to go around. 

Make sure that you hire developers from a software company that has good feedback on independent sites such as Clutch and offers a risk-free trial. 

1. Be prepared for the interviews. 

This sounds like a no-brainer, but you’d be amazed at just how many people don’t. 

Specifically, be sure to prepare a standardized, in-depth, and challenging skills test that asks questions relating to your project design (without indicating this) for the applicants (applying for the same developer role). 

I also strongly recommend recording your remote interviews so that you can not only accurately compare answers but also refer back to any part of their interviews as required. 

2. Come armed to the skills interview with expertise

You will need relevant skills and expertise to interview any developers effectively. While you can get away with not having them when hiring from a dedicated software development company, as they will already have vetted their remote developers, you must have someone with the knowledge to put your candidates on the spot.

During the primary interview, we like to throw in a curveball question, such as Elon Musk’s “Where am I standing in the world?” question. You really want to put them on the burner to see what they are made of. 

During the skills interview, your expert should ask testing follow-up questions to your candidate remote developer to see if they are able to support their answers in an increasingly in-depth way. This is a great way to separate the chancers from the experts. 

3. Value honesty, motivation, and a positive attitude 

These 3 personality traits are the cornerstone of any great software developer. 

Honesty is essential in any remote worker, after all, you are trusting them with the keys to your house while you are away. An honest developer will quickly admit to any mistakes, which helps you both find them as well as fix them quickly. 

I am fond of saying that you can find plenty of talented but unmotivated developers, but you never find any unmotivated, great developers.

A positive attitude will not only make the likelihood of the project proceeding as it should, but it will also make the whole development process more pleasant and rewarding. 

These are my top tips on how to find a good developer. If you want a comprehensive guide, then you can read my hire mobile app developers page here. 

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Remote Developer?

Let's look at some of the latest statistics first! A new report shows that the estimated average salary for a remote developer in the United States is $120.000 per year. The cost of hiring a remote programmer or developer depends on several conditions and factors, such as experience level, country location, seniority, average salary, etc. Take a close look at your project requirements, size, and complexity. That will help you determine the kind of remote developer or whole remote development team you need.

The following costs are per hour and are based on hiring a mid to senior-level developer (no one really hires junior remote developers). 

Remote developers for hire in the USA -  $50 - $300

Western Europe - $65 - $200

Remote developers for hire in Eastern Europe - $35 - $150

India - $10 - $65
