Feeny lists about 749 active tech roles in the Philippines across 147 companies. These are live listings we keep refreshed, not a stale count. Metro Manila carries nearly all of the on-the-ground volume. Keep in mind that a lot of Philippine tech work is remote for foreign firms, so local office listings only tell part of the story. ### Which cities in the Philippines have the most tech jobs? Metro Manila is essentially the country's tech hub, and the 1 we track reflect how concentrated the scene is. It holds the homegrown fintech and digital-services companies as well as the large outsourcing operations. There is no real second hub on the scale of Manila. For Philippine tech work, Manila is where the roles are. ### What companies are hiring for tech roles in Philippines? The Philippines is one of the world's largest outsourcing hubs, and that base sits alongside a real homegrown scene. GCash and Maya brought mobile banking to tens of millions of previously unbanked people, which is the country's standout fintech story. Global operations keep setting up here for the large, English-speaking workforce. Fintech, digital services, and outsourcing tech are where most hiring lands. ### What kinds of tech roles are common in Philippines? Fintech leads the homegrown side, powered by GCash and Maya reaching tens of millions of new users. Digital services make up a large share of the rest, and outsourcing and BPO tech remain a defining category given the country's global role. The English-fluent workforce is a big reason so much of this work exists here. Support-heavy and full-stack engineering roles are common across all of it. ### What is it like to work in tech in Philippines? The Philippines is one of the world's largest outsourcing hubs, and Metro Manila has built a genuine homegrown scene around fintech and digital services on top of that. The English-speaking workforce is a major draw for global operations, which is a real advantage for anyone working here. Local salaries are modest, and much of the best-paying work is remote for foreign firms rather than local. For skilled engineers, that remote route is often where the stronger pay sits. ### Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in Philippines? The formal route is a 9(g) work visa, which an employer sponsors. In practice, though, the market mostly hires its own large, English-fluent workforce, often remotely for foreign firms. That makes relocating into the Philippines for a tech job less common than the visa process alone would suggest. The honest picture is a local-hire and remote-outsourcing market rather than a relocation destination. --- _Source: https://feeny.ai/location/philippines_
