Engineering talent for European startups

Local senior engineers cost $8-16K/month all-in across Europe. Our flexible packages start at $3K/month with 9AM-3PM CET overlap.

Berlin cityscape

Hiring in Europe is expensive. Startups still need senior talent.

A senior engineer in the UK costs roughly $11-16K/month all-in in London, and $8-11K outside it. Germany, the Netherlands, and the Nordics are similar or higher once employer costs are included.

European startups are scaling fast, but a full-time hire before product-market fit is a heavy bet. Flexible part-time talent gives you the senior capability you need without the full-time cost.
