Which countries have the cheapest software engineers that you can hire and do virtual teaming with?
It must be somewhere in Africa (hopefully without sounding too prejudicial). I guess in countries like Kenya and Uganda you might be able to find very low rates.
Next to that would be Pakistan.
And then India.
How much does the cheapest software engineer cost?
It does not actually matter where you hire nowadays from (when it comes to offshore outsourcing). In most cases, you should allocate a budget of around 2000 US Dollar to 3000 US Dollar per month for a developer in Africa, Pakistan or India.
If you are ready to commit to long term agreements, then even cheaper rates than that might be possible.
But you will find nowadays companies for example in India, which charge 3000 to 6000 US Dollar per month for a developer.
I would advise not to go below these rates. There comes a point where your requirements will not be fulfilled anymore.
