How Aniday Helps Software Teams Scale Fast in SEA?
The global demand for tech talent is rising fast. A Gartner study shows that cross-border tech hiring has doubled since 2020, with 58% of companies now employing remote tech talent from other countries.
That’s why many companies are now turning to Southeast Asia (SEA), a region that offers strong tech talent and cost-effective hiring. But entering new markets like Vietnam, Indonesia, or Singapore comes with challenges: labor laws, payroll, taxes, and benefits vary by country and can slow down your plans.
To address this, Aniday offers a dedicated Employer of Record solution.
Challenges of Scaling Software Teams in Southeast Asia: Snapshot
Hiring software engineers in SEA isn’t always straightforward: local regulations are complex, talent is in high demand, and top developers are often snapped up by tech giants or well-funded startups.
Then come the operational challenges, including handling payroll, taxes, compliance, and benefits. Each country has its own rules, and they change often. Without a local entity, it’s nearly impossible to stay compliant and move fast at the same time.
What Kind of Developer Teams Can You Build with Aniday’s EOR?
Aniday combines a network of 40,000+ headhunters across SEA with full-stack Employer of Record (EOR) capabilities, giving you everything you need to scale your tech team without setting up a local company.
Build a remote development team
When you’re building a remote engineering team, it’s more about building right. The best dev teams work as an extension of your in-house team, no matter where they’re based. That means aligning on culture, workflows, and product goals from day one.
But in reality, assembling such a team across SEA can get bogged down by entity setup, inconsistent labor laws, and slow admin processes. Even small delays in onboarding can set product timelines back by weeks or more.
With our Employer of Record (EOR) services, we takes care of all the legal and admin stuff in each country, so you can focus on hiring the right people and getting them up to speed quickly, without setting up a local company or worrying about compliance.
Hire full-stack developers in SEA without a local company
Full-stack teams are perfect if you need a group of developers who can handle everything from A to Z, front-end, back-end, cloud infrastructure, and even DevOps.
Instead of hiring individual roles and piecing them together, we can help you build a team with all the skills needed to deliver end-to-end, production-ready solutions, tailored to your preferences.
With Aniday, you’re not just getting access to full-stack developers, you’re tapping into a network of over 40,000 headhunters across the region. That means faster sourcing, better matches, and less time wasted on the wrong profiles.
We handle the heavy lifting: from screening for technical skills and culture fit to managing contracts and ensuring compliant payroll. You focus on leading the team and shipping great products, we’ll take care of the rest.
Build custom agile dev teams without borders
Sometimes, what you need isn’t a standard dev team, it’s something more tailored. Maybe when:
You're developing an AI feature and need a team of experienced machine learning engineers
You're launching a mobile app and want iOS and Android developers who’ve worked together before
You need a feature-specific task force to build and ship one key product feature quickly
Whatever it is, we help you build agile, hybrid teams that fit those exact needs. Thanks to our wide network, you can assemble the right mix of talent from different countries, all aligned to your timeline and goals.
