"However, I'm not entirely sure about the software developer scene over there though."

I think Vulture from Spider-Man Homecoming is a good analogy. It's a lot of people who have been reverse engineering foreign tech. There has been a lot of attempts to "colonize" the area, by Silicon Valley, Rocket Internet, China. Many pull out to fight a war at home and leave behind the tech and expats.
But lack of funding means a lot of jobs are remote. Local companies tend to move their HQ to Singapore and such. Many startups here are ex-Rocket and other foreigners who are good at raising outside money or have deep pockets.
