A Company Built in the Philippines, for the Philippines
Skaly was not designed in a conference room in Paris.
The product was forged in Cebu — through months of on-the-ground work with Filipino business owners who were running restaurants on WhatsApp, managing rentals on Excel, and booking clients through Facebook Messenger. We didn't read about their problems in a market research report. We sat across from them, watched them work, and understood what they needed.
That proximity shaped everything: how we designed the product, how we priced it, how we think about support. And it shapes how we think about hiring.
Skaly is not a company that outsources to the Philippines. Skaly is a company that builds — permanently — in the Philippines.
What We Are Committing To
By the end of 2027, Skaly aims to have created 100+ direct employment positions across the Philippines, with a primary focus on two regions:
- The Visayas — led by Cebu City, our operational headquarters for the Philippines
- Luzon — including Metro Manila and other high-growth cities
These are not subcontracted roles, not temporary project hires, not BPO seat-fillers. These are full-time, salaried positions at a SaaS company with a real product and real clients across 15+ countries.
We start in 2026 with our first wave of 100+ openings. The path to full deployment runs through 2027.
Why the Visayas First
Cebu is the second-largest urban economy in the Philippines and one of the most dynamic in Southeast Asia. It is a city where tourism, trade, manufacturing, and services overlap — and where small and medium enterprises form the backbone of daily economic life.
Every one of those businesses is a potential Skaly client. And every one of them deserves a local team they can trust.
The Visayas region — Cebu, Bohol, Leyte, Negros, Iloilo — has a large, educated workforce with strong English proficiency and a long history in business process services. It is exactly the talent pool that a company like Skaly needs: smart, commercially oriented, and deeply connected to the local business community.
We are building our Sales team here first: 30 Sales Agents in Cebu and 30 in Mindanao, with a mandate to bring Skaly's tools to local businesses door by door, relationship by relationship.
Why Luzon in 2027
Luzon — and Metro Manila in particular — is the largest labor and technology market in the Philippines. By 2027, as Skaly's technology team scales, we will establish a technology hub in the National Capital Region.
This hub will house:
- Front-End and Back-End Engineers
- AI and Automation Experts
- Product Trainers and Demo Specialists
- Business Developers targeting national accounts
The timing is deliberate. We are not chasing headcount. We are building infrastructure that grows sustainably — because every hire we make is someone we intend to keep.
What These Jobs Actually Look Like
We are not hiring for roles that will be automated away in three years. We are hiring for roles that build a company.
In the field (Sales)
Sales Agents in Cebu and Mindanao will be the first point of contact between Skaly and Filipino business owners. Their job is not to push software — it is to understand a business owner's problem and show them how Skaly solves it.
The compensation structure reflects how seriously we take this: ₱21,000 base salary per month (when scope is reached), plus 15% commission on every contract from the first to the 26th. At target, that is approximately ₱55,000 per month — well above median market rates for field sales in the Philippines.
In the office and remotely (Tech, Marketing, Operations)
For non-sales roles, salaries range from ₱35,000 to ₱70,000 per month depending on the position and experience level. Business Developers are budgeted at approximately ₱40,000+. Senior engineers can expect ₱50,000–₱70,000. All roles come with clear progression pathways.
We are not a company that hires people at the minimum to maximize margin. We are a company that believes if you pay people fairly and give them meaningful work, they stay, they grow, and they carry the company forward with them.
Our Values Are The Interview
Every candidate who applies for a Skaly role will go through a brief competency assessment — not to trip them up, but to understand how they think.
For sales candidates: How do you handle rejection? What motivates you? How do you respond when a prospect says no?
For technical candidates: What have you built? What broke and how did you fix it?
For all candidates: Why Skaly? Not the answer we want to hear — the honest one.
These questions come from our core values:
Speed. We ship fast and we hire fast. Bureaucracy is the enemy of small business, and we don't let it into our own company.
Ownership. We don't wait for permission to solve a problem. Everyone at Skaly, at every level, is expected to take responsibility for their work and their decisions.
Integrity. We say what we mean, we do what we say, and we tell clients the truth — even when it is uncomfortable.
Community. We are building something in the Philippines because we believe in the people here. Not because labor is cheaper. Because the talent is exceptional, and it deserves world-class tools and world-class employers.
Growth. We invest in people. A Sales Agent who joins us in 2026 with no prior SaaS experience can be a Business Developer by 2028. An implementor can become a product engineer. We build from within.
A Note on the Philippines' Tech Economy
The Philippines is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in Southeast Asia. E-commerce penetration is accelerating. Digital payment adoption via GCash and Maya has fundamentally changed how Filipino businesses transact. The BPO industry, long the country's technology anchor, is evolving into something richer: startups, SaaS companies, and product builders are emerging from Cebu, Davao, and Manila.
Skaly is part of that story. We are building the tools that Filipino SMEs need to compete in a digital-first world. And we are building the team that makes those tools real.
The 100 jobs we create by 2027 are not a charity project or a CSR line item. They are the workforce of a SaaS company that intends to be one of the most significant players in Philippine business software over the next decade.
How to Join
If you are a driven, talented, and community-minded person based in the Philippines — or willing to relocate — we want to meet you.
We currently have openings across Sales, Technology, Marketing, Customer Success, and Operations. The full list of positions, with detailed descriptions, salary ranges, and an online application form, is available at job.skaly.tech — or directly at skaly.tech/careers.

We review every application personally, and we respond to every candidate we advance.
This is what building for the Philippines looks like. We hope you will be part of it.
