General category of the solution.
Full Scale is an offshore software development company founded in 2018 by Matt Watson, a four-time tech founder and former CTO. Watson co-founded VinSolutions, the #1 CRM in the auto industry which was acquired for approximately $150 million, and founded Stackify, a developer tools company. Full Scale was born from Watson's personal experience hiring offshore developers for Stackify in 2018, when he established a team in the Philippines that became central to the company's eventual exit. Full Scale provides staff augmentation services by placing senior Filipino engineers directly onto U.S. client teams as dedicated, full-time members. Unlike traditional offshore outsourcing models, Full Scale's engineers work in clients' repositories, attend their standups, and report to their engineering leadership while Full Scale handles recruiting, payroll, benefits, HR, equipment, and retention in the Philippines. The company has placed over 1,000 engineers and delivered 5+ million development hours since 2018. The company differentiates itself through its Product Driven engineering methodology, training engineers on the five pillars of Vision, Focus, Clarity, Ownership, and Courage from Matt Watson's book. Engineers are also trained to use modern AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Cursor as thinking partners while maintaining engineering judgment. This approach has resulted in 93%+ annual employee retention, compared to the offshore industry average of 30-50% churn. Full Scale serves 200+ U.S. companies across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and enterprise sectors, including Fortune 500 clients like AMC Theatres. The company maintains 350+ active engineers in Cebu and Manila, Philippines, with offices in both Cebu City and a headquarters in Leawood, Kansas, USA. Full Scale has been recognized as an Inc. 5000 honoree for four consecutive years and is Great Place to Work certified.
