Senior nearshore engineering for Dublin-based CTOs, Big Tech EU HQs, and post-Brexit EU-extension subsidiaries. Stripe-grade fintech, DPC-aware GDPR architecture, EU-only data planes on AWS Dublin (eu-west-1), and EU HQ product extensions for US and UK parents. CET-adjacent workday, contracts via our German GmbH, kickoff in three weeks. From 12,000 EUR/month per role; fixed-scope MVPs from 25,000 EUR.
Dublin in 2026 is the EU's regulated-tech capital almost by accident: a 12.5 percent corporate tax rate (now layered with the 15 percent OECD Pillar Two top-up for groups above 750M EUR), an English-speaking workforce, and three decades of IDA Ireland industrial policy made it the natural EU HQ for Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Salesforce, Workday, and the European HQ of Stripe alongside its San Francisco base. The Brexit transition that completed in 2021 turned that gravity into compounding: UK-incorporated SaaS and fintech operators needed an EU-resident subsidiary to keep operating in the EEA, and Dublin took most of that traffic. The result in 2026 is a city where Big Tech sets the senior engineering comp floor, the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) acts as the lead supervisory authority for almost every consumer-facing US tech product in the EU under the GDPR one-stop-shop, and the Central Bank of Ireland holds the keys for any payment, e-money, or crypto-asset licence that wants EU passporting. The labour market is the squeezed downstream: Indeed Ireland and the Irish Tech Council report senior software developer time-to-hire at 4 to 6 months, with the same candidate pool fielding offers from the FAANG EU HQs, Stripe, Workday and the post-Brexit fintech wave. Nearshore is how you ship around that.
Senior fullstack engineers in Dublin clear 90k to 130k EUR all-in in 2026 because every senior candidate is calibrating against Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Salesforce and Stripe EU offers. Outside Big Tech you still anchor above 100k EUR plus 11.05 percent employer PRSI and overhead.
Indeed Ireland and the Irish Tech Council both put senior software developer time-to-hire at 4 to 6 months in Dublin. The candidate pool is the same one FAANG EU HQs and Stripe are competing for; you are the second-most-attractive offer by default.
A services contract through our German GmbH gives you 30-day notice for ramp-down, predictable EUR invoicing, and IP assigned to the client on payment with Irish-copyright-compatible language. No PAYE, PRSI or USC complexity on your side.
Consent and processing-register architecture that survives Irish DPC scrutiny (the lead supervisor for most US Big Tech in the EU), EU-only data planes on AWS Dublin or Azure North Europe, EEA-specific feature flags and DSA / DMA workflow surfaces.
PSD2 SCA, card issuing and acquiring integrations, e-money licensing-friendly architectures, ledger-grade accounting, AML / SAR-fit transaction monitoring, Central Bank of Ireland outsourcing documentation.
EU-only data plane segregations, entity-aware billing routing, EU-resident customer-support tooling, EEA-specific consent flows for products whose parent is in San Francisco, New York, or London but whose EU instance is Dublin-incorporated.
UK-headquartered SaaS and fintech operators stand up their Dublin EU subsidiary's engineering arm with us: data-plane split, billing entity routing, EU customer migration, consent re-papering. 12 to 18 month engagements typical.
Production RAG and agent workflows on OpenAI through Azure North Europe, Anthropic, Mistral, and self-hosted Llama / Qwen where data residency in Dublin matters. EU AI Act documentation built in.
Senior engineering leadership 2 to 8 days a month for Dublin Series A–C founders and EU-subsidiary leadership teams, plus investor-side technical due diligence for Irish and London VCs.
San Francisco SaaS, Dublin-incorporated EU subsidiary, needs an EU-only data plane and EEA-specific consent surface. We slot in a 4-engineer squad for 9 months under the parent's MSA, work to the parent's security baseline, integrate with parent CI/CD. Output: production EU plane live, DPC-presentable processing register, DSA / DMA workflow surfaces in production.
London-headquartered fintech needs a Dublin EU subsidiary to keep passporting into the EEA. We build the EU-resident engineering arm: data plane split, billing routing, customer migration, consent re-papering, Central Bank of Ireland outsourcing pack. 14-month engagement, dedicated squad of 5.
Dublin-born Series A B2B SaaS, 8 engineers, three open senior roles for five months. We bring a 3-engineer squad to own a specific product surface (admin platform + integrations + reporting) while the in-house team stays on the core domain. 8-month engagement, 230k EUR all-in versus 380k EUR for three Dublin senior hires plus four months of recruiting drag.
Our delivery teams work the Dublin business day in full (09:00–18:00 Dublin time, one hour behind CET). East-Coast US morning overlap from 14:00 Dublin time. Standups, code review, and incident response sit inside your calendar.
Services agreement signed with our German limited entity (GmbH). EU-internal invoicing in EUR, reverse-charge VAT, IP assigned to the client on payment with Irish-copyright-compatible language. Works cleanly with US and UK parent MSAs.
Dedicated confirmed engineer from 12,000 EUR/month, senior from 14,500 EUR. Standard squad 48,000 to 62,000 EUR/month. Fixed-scope MVP from 25,000 EUR (6 to 8 weeks to production). Discovery + architecture sprint 18,000 EUR (3 weeks).
30 to 45 minutes with the founder, CTO or EU-subsidiary lead. We map the product, the team, the gap, and the regulatory constraint (DPC, Central Bank of Ireland, EU AI Act, parent security baseline). Written scope memo within 48 hours.
Within 5 business days: named engineers, CVs, GitHub or portfolio links, pricing, draft master services agreement (or addendum to parent MSA), kickoff plan. No anonymous-rectangles staffing slides.
Contracts signed, NDAs in place, accesses provisioned through parent identity infra if needed, repo onboarded, on-call rota agreed. First PR merged before end of week 3 on dedicated engagements.
Daily standup, weekly demo, bi-weekly steering, monthly written report. Ramp up or down with 30 days notice; no Irish PAYE or PRSI exposure on your side.
Senior fullstack engineers in Dublin cost 90,000 to 130,000 EUR all-in for 5 to 8 years of experience in 2026, because the candidate pool is calibrated against Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Stripe, Workday, LinkedIn and Salesforce EMEA HQ comp. The same engineer outside Big Tech still anchors above 100k EUR plus PRSI and overhead. A YuSMP nearshore squad of three engineers plus a tech lead is operational in three weeks, costs from 12,000 EUR per role-month, contracts through our German GmbH, and overlaps the Dublin working day in full (Dublin is GMT/IST, one hour behind CET).
Yes. Several of our Dublin engagements are extensions of US-headquartered platforms running their EU operations out of Dublin under Irish-incorporated subsidiaries. We have shipped EU-only data plane segregations, EEA-specific consent and DSA / DMA workflow surfaces, and localisation pipelines for products that need to expose different feature sets per regulatory geo. We sign the parent's standard MSA, work to the parent's security baseline, and integrate with the parent's existing CI/CD and identity infra.
Yes for the engineering side. We build PSD2 SCA, AML and SAR-fit transaction monitoring, EBA-aligned outsourcing documentation that the Central Bank of Ireland's regulated firms can present, and consent/processing-register flows that survive the Irish Data Protection Commission's scrutiny — the DPC is the lead supervisory authority for most US Big Tech in the EU under the one-stop-shop, which means the engineering bar is higher than the GDPR baseline. We do not act as regulated officer or DPO; we sit alongside the client's compliance function.
Yes. A regular pattern since 2021: a UK-headquartered fintech, SaaS or marketplace needs an EU-incorporated subsidiary in Dublin to keep operating in the EEA after the Brexit transition. We build the EU-specific data plane, the entity-aware billing routing, the EU-resident customer-support tooling, and the consent / data-export flows that meet GDPR (the UK GDPR alignment is no longer 1:1). The Dublin subsidiary's CTO function frequently uses YuSMP as the dedicated engineering arm during the first 12 to 18 months.
Dedicated engineers are priced per role-month, from 12,000 EUR for a confirmed engineer and from 14,500 EUR for a senior. A standard squad (tech lead + 3 engineers + part-time PM/QA) lands at 48,000 to 62,000 EUR per month all-in. Fixed-scope MVPs start at 25,000 EUR for a 6 to 8 week build with a working production deploy. Invoicing is in EUR from our German GmbH, payment terms 14 days, no agency markup on AWS Dublin (eu-west-1) or Azure North Europe bills.
