What is an offshore developer?

Offshore developers are software engineers or programmers who are hired by a company but are located in another country, typically where labor costs are lower. Companies often hire offshore developers to reduce expenses, access a broader talent pool, and accelerate project timelines. The offshore development team works remotely, frequently in different time zones, and communicates with the hiring company through digital tools and platforms. This approach is commonly used for software development, maintenance, and IT services.
