A Linux developer is responsible for developing, debugging, and documenting computer programs for the Linux operating system and related software applications.

The responsibilities of a Linux developer are similar to those of computer programmers in general and may include using C++, Python, or other programming languages to write codes or instructions that the device can understand.

You can hire a part-time or full-time entry-level (junior) Linux developer in the Philippines from an hourly salary rate of around $4.00 per hour. 

If you’re looking to hire an intermediate or more experienced Linux developer, then we would advise that you set a salary budget of a little bit higher. 

On average, expect to pay between ⅓ and ⅕ of what it would cost you to hire the equivalently skilled developer in the USA. This means you should save anywhere between 66% and 80% on salary costs by hiring a Linux programmer in the Philippines.

Entry-level (junior): $4.00 per hour or more. This would work out at around $640 per month if you were to hire the developer full-time (160 hours per month).

Intermediate: Budget from $5.00 per hour. I’d suggest setting a range of between from between $5.00 and $12.00 per hour.

Expert (Senior): $6.75 per hour and upwards is what you should expect to pay for an experienced senior Linux developer. This person should have upwards of five years of experience.
