Hire Engineers
LebSource gives you pre-vetted Lebanese engineers who work your hours, join your repository and your stand-up, and cost a fraction of the equivalent local hire.

01
Why outsource engineering at all
Most engineering teams do not have a talent problem so much as a throughput problem: the roadmap is longer than the team, and every local hire takes months to source, interview, and onboard. Outsourcing the well-defined parts of that roadmap, a service, a migration, a mobile build, the test suite nobody has time for, buys back capacity without committing to permanent local headcount. The catch is that it only works when the engineers you add can actually be managed like the rest of your team.
The comparison
Outsourcing engineering vs hiring in-house vs far-shore
The three realistic ways to add engineering capacity, compared on the things that decide whether it works.
Working-hours overlap
Yes.
In-house in Europe
Full overlap. Everyone is in the same working day
No.
Far-shore outsourcing
A few hours at best; most questions wait until tomorrow
Yes.
LebSource
Beirut runs on EET/EEST, so the working day lines up with Europe
Cost per hire
No.
In-house in Europe
Full local salary, benefits, payroll tax, and recruiter fees
Partly.
Far-shore outsourcing
Lowest headline rate, but rework and management time eat the saving
Yes.
LebSource
Up to 43% below the equivalent European hire, with no recruiter fee
Time to first commit
No.
In-house in Europe
Two to four months of sourcing, interviewing, and notice periods
Partly.
Far-shore outsourcing
Fast to staff, slower to ship while context is rebuilt by ticket
Yes.
LebSource
Pre-vetted shortlists in days, onboarded into your repo like any other hire
Code review and pairing
Yes.
In-house in Europe
Live, in the same working day
No.
Far-shore outsourcing
Asynchronous. A review round can cost a full day
Yes.
LebSource
Live, in the same working day
Ownership of the work
Yes.
In-house in Europe
The team owns the codebase end to end
No.
Far-shore outsourcing
Scoped deliverables handed back; context leaves with the contract
Yes.
LebSource
Engineers work inside your codebase, tools, and review process
Scaling down
No.
In-house in Europe
Slow and expensive; redundancy processes apply
Partly.
Far-shore outsourcing
Contractual, but usually in fixed project blocks
Yes.
LebSource
Flexible engagements that scale with the roadmap
Yes.Structurally true of this modelPartly.Possible, but slower or less completeNo.Not how this model works
“Far-shore” here means a delivery team six or more hours from your working day. That is a statement about time zones, not about anyone’s ability, plenty of excellent teams work that way, and for well-scoped, low-iteration work it can be the right call.
02
Why Lebanon for engineering
Lebanon sits in the EET/EEST time zone, which means Beirut keeps the same working day as most of Europe and shifts with the same daylight-saving changes. Engineers are educated in English and very often French as well, and the local industry is built around remote work for European and Gulf clients, so code review, pairing, and stand-up all happen live rather than by overnight handoff. For engineering specifically, that live overlap is what separates a team member from a vendor.
Time zone coverage
How much of your working day a Lebanon team actually shares
Not a claim, arithmetic. Pick your city, then pick a far-shore alternative and watch the number fall.
Where is your team?
8h
of your working day shared with Beirut, every day, from Berlin.
09:00 – 17:00 your time
Your day · Berlin09:00–18:00
Their day · Beirut09:00–18:00 local
00:0004:0008:0012:0016:0020:0024:00
Based on a 09:00–18:00 working day at both ends and standard winter offsets, the conservative case, since summer time widens the European overlap rather than narrowing it. Overlap is the plain intersection of the two working days.
Before you start
What to get right when you outsource engineering
01
Review latency is the real cost
The headline rate is not what makes offshore engineering expensive, waiting a day for a review, a clarification, or a deploy approval is. Overlapping working hours remove that tax entirely, which is why the time-zone question matters more for engineering than for almost any other discipline.
02
Hire into your process, not around it
Engineers who sit outside your repository, tracker, and review standards produce work you then have to absorb. Every LebSource engineer joins your GitHub, your Slack, and your definition of done, so their output is reviewed the same way as everyone else's.
03
Seniority is not a rate card
A cheaper engineer who needs their architecture decisions re-made is not cheaper. We vet for judgement and communication alongside technical skill, and we will tell you when a role needs a senior rather than a second mid-level.

How it works
Hiring engineering, step by step
Step 01
Tell us the role
A call or a written brief: what the person will own, what your stack is, and how senior you actually need. If the seniority looks wrong for the work, we will say so then rather than after you have paid for it.
Step 02
Get a shortlist in days
A shortlist, not a database dump. Everyone on it has been screened for hands-on skill and for how they communicate in English before it reaches you, which is why this takes days rather than months.
Step 03
Interview, and trial if you want
You interview them the way you interview anyone else. Most teams run a short paid trial on real work before committing, and we would rather you did: it tells you both far more than another interview round.
Step 04
They join your team
Your repository, your tracker, your stand-up, your definition of done. We handle the contract, payroll, and the administration around it. You manage the work, the same as you would for anyone else on the team.

FAQ
Hiring engineering with LebSource
Can LebSource engineers work directly in our codebase?
Yes. They join your GitHub or GitLab, your issue tracker, and your Slack, and follow your branching and review conventions. They are managed like the rest of your engineering team rather than handed scoped deliverables.
How does the time-zone overlap actually work?
Beirut runs on EET/EEST, which shifts with the same daylight-saving changes as Europe. In practice that means a shared working day with most European teams, so stand-ups, reviews, and pairing happen live instead of by overnight handoff.
What if we need a specific stack we do not see listed?
The roles listed on this page are the ones we staff most often, not the limit of the network. Tell us the stack and the seniority you need and we will come back on whether we can shortlist for it.
Do we manage the engineers or does LebSource?
You do, day to day. They sit in your team and take direction from your leads. LebSource handles the sourcing, vetting, contracting, and the administrative side of the engagement.
