Yerevan · Armenia · Our HQ
Yerevan is not a nearshore stop on a map for us — it is home. YuSMP Group is headquartered here, with our senior in-house engineering team working from a real office at the KAMAR Business Center on Vazgen Sargsyan St. 2. Deep, university-backed Armenian talent, ET and CET time-zone overlap, English-fluent senior engineers, GDPR-aligned contracting through YUSMP GROUP LLC, and invoicing in USD or EUR. From dedicated teams to fractional CTO — starting at 12,000 USD/month.
Most software development companies that advertise a city are advertising someone else's city — a sales address, a flag, a time-zone claim. Yerevan is different for us, because Yerevan is where YuSMP Group actually is. Our company is headquartered in Armenia, our legal entity YUSMP GROUP LLC is registered here (Reg. 08324371), and our senior engineers come to a real office at the KAMAR Business Center on Vazgen Sargsyan St. 2 in the centre of the city. When you engage us you are not renting a remote contractor bench; you are working directly with our home engineering team.
Armenia has quietly become one of the strongest engineering talent pools in the wider region. Yerevan hosts the National Polytechnic University of Armenia, Yerevan State University and the American University of Armenia, feeding a steady pipeline of strong computer-science and engineering graduates, reinforced by intensive programmes like TUMO and the Armath engineering labs that start technical education early. The IT sector is one of the fastest-growing parts of the Armenian economy, with R&D centres for global technology firms and a dense, well-networked startup community. The result is a deep bench of senior, English-fluent engineers who have shipped production software for international clients.
Geography helps too. Yerevan sits on AMT (UTC+4), which lets us hold a full morning-and-afternoon overlap with European CET teams and a dependable East-Coast US overlap window. That means synchronous standups, live code review and real-time design sessions with both EU and US-East clients — not an async hand-off model. Combine that with GDPR-aligned data handling, flexible USD or EUR invoicing, and a stable in-house team with low turnover, and Yerevan becomes a genuinely strong base from which to build serious software.
Armenia's leading technical universities — the National Polytechnic University, Yerevan State University and the American University of Armenia — plus TUMO and the Armath labs feed a steady stream of strong engineers. The IT sector is one of the fastest-growing parts of the national economy, so senior, internationally-experienced talent is genuinely available here.
On AMT (UTC+4) we hold a full European overlap with CET clients and a reliable East-Coast US window of roughly 9 AM to 1 PM ET. Same-day standups, synchronous code review and live design sessions with both EU and US-East teams — not an async tax.
Our engineering team works from the KAMAR Business Center, Vazgen Sargsyan St. 2, in central Yerevan. This is our headquarters, not a virtual office — you can visit, run kick-offs on site, and meet the people who write your code.
Multi-tenant B2B SaaS, billing and entitlements, SCIM/SAML/OIDC enterprise auth, audit logging, region-pinned data residency. Java, Kotlin, Go, TypeScript and Python on AWS and GCP.
Fixed-scope MVPs and bespoke platforms for founders and product teams — from discovery and architecture through to a shipped, observable product in production, built by senior engineers from day one.
RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, LLM evaluation harnesses and production GenAI features. OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral and open-weights on AWS Bedrock or self-hosted, with EU AI Act readiness documentation.
Long-term pods of 3 to 12 senior engineers with a named tech lead, embedded into your product organisation. Direct Slack, your Jira/Linear, your code review, your on-call rota, your design-doc culture.
Service decomposition, observability rebuilds (Datadog, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), Kubernetes platform engineering, internal-developer-platform work and FinOps cost optimisation on AWS and GCP.
2 to 8 days per month of senior CTO leadership for founders between full-time CTOs, pre-Series-A, or scaling past 20 engineers. Hiring loops, architecture, vendor selection and board reporting.
On AMT (UTC+4) we give a full European overlap and a reliable East-Coast US window of roughly 9 AM to 1 PM ET. Daily standups, synchronous code review and live design sessions with both EU and US-East teams — no async hand-off model.
Contracted through YUSMP GROUP LLC (Reg. 08324371, Armenia). Standard MSA, SOW, NDA and a GDPR-aligned DPA with sub-processor register. Armenia is outside the EU but our data handling and security documentation are built to GDPR expectations.

45 minutes with your founder, CTO or head of engineering. We map the problem, the team you already have, the regulatory perimeter, and the realistic shape of the engagement. Written scope and a price within three working days.
MSA, SOW, NDA on day one, GDPR-aligned DPA and sub-processor register through YUSMP GROUP LLC. USD or EUR invoicing agreed up front. Standard pack signed in five to seven working days.
Named engineers and tech lead from our Yerevan office in your standups by week two. First pull request, CI green and an observability baseline by end of week three. Weekly written report to leadership from day one.
Month-to-month after the 90-day minimum. The pod scales up or down with 30 days notice. When you are ready to bring work in-house we run a 30 to 60 day handover, transfer ownership, and step down cleanly.
Yerevan is the engineering capital of the South Caucasus. Armenia produces a deep pipeline of strong engineers from leading technical universities — the National Polytechnic University of Armenia, Yerevan State University and the American University of Armenia — and from intensive programmes such as TUMO and the Armath engineering labs. The IT sector is one of the fastest-growing parts of the national economy, hosting R&D centres for global firms and a dense startup scene. We hire senior engineers locally into a real in-house team, not a freelance bench, which is why Yerevan is our home engineering base rather than an outsourced nearshore stop.
Yerevan is on AMT (UTC+4). We run our workday to give a full European overlap with CET clients in the morning and afternoon, and a reliable East-Coast US overlap window of roughly 9 AM to 1 PM ET. In practice that means same-day standups, real-time code review and synchronous design sessions with both EU and US-East teams — not an async hand-off model.
Engagements are contracted through YUSMP GROUP LLC, our registered Armenian legal entity (Reg. 08324371). We sign a standard MSA, SOW, NDA and a GDPR-aligned DPA with a sub-processor register. Invoicing is in USD or EUR by your preference, via international bank transfer. Armenia is outside the EU but our data-handling, security documentation and DPA are GDPR-aligned so EU buyers can contract with confidence.
Yes. We have a real office at the KAMAR Business Center, Vazgen Sargsyan St. 2 in central Yerevan, where our engineering team works. Clients are welcome to visit for kick-offs, deep-dive workshops or quarterly reviews. Yerevan's Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) has direct flights from major European and regional hubs, and most nationalities enter Armenia visa-free or with a simple e-visa.
Armenia combines a genuinely deep, university-backed engineering talent pool with strong government support for the IT sector, a convenient time zone that overlaps both Europe and US-East, English-fluent senior engineers, and competitive fully-loaded rates versus Western Europe and the US. For us it is not a cost-arbitrage gamble — it is where our company is headquartered and where our senior people sit, so you get a stable in-house team with low turnover rather than a rotating contractor pool.
