You have a project that requires you to work in a team setting. You know of a developer who has the credentials you need, works well in a team, and does not need supervision to get the job done. The problem is that the developer is not
within your geographic location. One solution is to allow the developer to blank
full-time.

work remotely

Explanation:

The best solution would be to allow the developer to work remotely full-time. This means that they would be working from home all the time and would most likely communicate with the rest of the team via other means. Usually, unimportant communication would be done through e-mail while important issues and team meetings would be done through video conference. This will allow you to hire this developer and add him/her to the team without having to worry about any issues arising due to transportation.
