Distributed teams can be brilliant when they’re built properly. We source remote engineering talent across Ireland and the EU, while keeping Irish remote-working expectations and compliance issues in view. That matters, doesn’t it?

  • Frontend, backend, DevOps, and product engineers for scale-up environments.
  • Hiring support that balances speed with remote onboarding practicality.
  • Market guidance on salary, availability, and contract structures.

A Dublin SaaS start-up used this model to hire a full remote frontend team in three weeks. Fast, yes. Sloppy, no.
