Wherever your team sits, you can hire pre-vetted senior engineers in Asia through Second Talent. Most of our clients are in the United States, Europe, the UK, and Australia, and the model is the same across every origin. Senior talent, time-zone overlap that fits your workday, and compliant employment handled for you.
Most US clients start with one engineer and scale to a 3–5 person team within the first quarter.
European teams typically replace 3–4 open senior roles with one Second Talent engagement.
Australian teams get the closest time-zone alignment of any offshore destination.
Hiring from somewhere else? Canada, the Middle East, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan work exactly the same way. Contracts, payroll, social contributions and IP assignment are handled by Second Talent wherever your entity is registered, so the only thing that changes is your overlap window.
Hire in 3 steps, not 3 months.
Share what to ship, automate, or scale. Plus stack, budget, and timezone overlap.
6–8 pre-vetted iOS Developers fluent in Claude Code and modern AI stacks. Interview the ones you like.
We handle contracts, payroll, and equipment. Your iOS Developer ships real output within the first week.
TL;DR: Hire senior iOS developers in Southeast Asia for $2,800–$6,500/mo. Save 50-70% vs US salaries. Pre-vetted Swift, SwiftUI, and Combine talent in 24 hours.
iOS is still the highest-revenue mobile platform — Apple's App Store generates more revenue than Google Play despite fewer users. Senior US iOS engineers average $135,000–$170,000 per year. Southeast Asian iOS talent delivers the same Swift and SwiftUI depth at $2,800–$6,500 per month, with shortlists in 24 hours.
We worked with a US-based health app that needed a senior iOS engineer with HealthKit and CoreML experience. Through Second Talent they hired in four days. The new HealthKit integration shipped two months later, increasing daily active users 47%.
| Factor | Hiring Locally (US) | Hiring via Second Talent |
|---|---|---|
| Time to hire | 6–10 weeks | 24 hours |
| Average monthly cost | $11,250–$14,150 | $2,800–$6,500 |
| Vetting | Done by you | Pre-vetted (top 1% only) |
A senior iOS developer should be fluent in Swift 5+, SwiftUI, Combine, and async/await. They should understand the iOS lifecycle, App Store submission, code signing, and modern frameworks like CoreData, HealthKit, ARKit, CoreML, and StoreKit 2.
| Specialization | Common Stack | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Consumer apps | Swift, SwiftUI, Combine | Social, fitness, lifestyle |
| Enterprise iOS | UIKit, Swift, Objective-C bridges | Field force, internal tools |
| AR / Health | ARKit, RealityKit, HealthKit, CoreML | Healthtech, AR commerce |
| Games | Metal, SpriteKit, Unity iOS | Casual and indie gaming |
Four-stage process: portfolio review (we look for shipped App Store apps), technical assessment, live coding interview, and English check. Only the top 1% pass.
Tell us the framework, the iOS version target, and the budget. We deliver 6 profiles in 24 hours. Contracts, payroll, and compliance run through our Employer of Record service. Book a free consultation.
