Reduce Hiring Cost Without Reducing Engineering Quality
Hiring senior backend engineers in Europe has become increasingly expensive and slow. Salaries, taxes, recruitment fees, and long notice periods add pressure to runway, especially for startups and growing product companies.
Our Remote Backend Expert Model helps EU companies replace or complement high-cost local hires with senior engineers who deliver the same ownership, collaboration, and quality at a more sustainable cost.
You protect your runway while keeping your backend strong.
Who This Is For
This solution is ideal for:
-
EU startups managing burn rate carefully
-
Scaleups optimizing engineering costs
-
Founders replacing planned local hires
-
CTOs needing senior backend expertise fast
-
Companies scaling without over-hiring
If backend quality matters but cost pressure is real, this model fits naturally.
The Problem With Traditional EU Backend Hiring
Many companies experience:
-
Very high total cost of employment
-
Long hiring cycles and low acceptance rates
-
Overpaying for limited availability
-
Difficulty adjusting team size later
-
Budget pressure that slows product growth
Cost should not force technical compromise.
