Hire a Remote Tech Developer for Your British Columbia Business
Full-time remote engineers on Pacific Time overlap for Vancouver and Victoria tech companies. React, Node, Python, Go, and AWS fluent, from USD $2,800 per month.
Why BC Tech Companies Hire Remote Developers
Vancouver is Canada's third-largest tech hub after Toronto and Waterloo, covered by CBRE's Scoring Tech Talent index in recent years. Hootsuite, Clio (now dual-HQ with Vancouver), Slack (Salesforce, originally Vancouver), Amazon's Vancouver office, Microsoft Vancouver, SAP, Mastercard, and a dense SaaS and gaming cluster (EA Vancouver, Kabam, Relic Entertainment) all compete for the same engineering talent. BC Tech Association data shows tech employment in the province at over 130,000 and growing. Wages have climbed with it.
Per Levels.fyi and Built In Vancouver, mid-level software engineers run CAD $100,000 to $135,000 base, with senior engineers clearing CAD $165,000. Loaded with CPP, EI, EHT, MSP (where applicable), and extended health, a seat runs CAD $11,500 to $15,000 per month. For a BC Series A or B startup, stretching runway with a Teckas remote developer on Pacific Time overlap is a direct path to more months of runway.
Statistics Canada NOC 21232 median for software engineers sits near CAD $110,000.
