Remote hiring for SaaS

SaaS companies live and die by shipping velocity and gross margin. A remote India team lets a Series A startup double engineering output while keeping burn low enough to reach the next milestone — the difference between an 18-month and a 30-month runway.

60–72% lower cost per engineer vs US onshore

Why India works here

  • Deep bench of product engineers who have shipped SaaS before
  • Timezone overlap for a few focused hours with US and EU teams
  • Cost structure that protects gross margin as you scale seats

What to watch for

  • Keep product context central — remote teams need the "why", not just tickets
  • Invest in async docs so the timezone gap works for you, not against you
