Hiring senior engineers in Europe shouldn't cost you 20-40% on top of every salary.
Most companies trying to scale engineering in Europe hit the same wall: expensive Employer of Record (EOR) fees, no clear path to ownership, and zero control over their team's legal structure. There's a better way.
Serious Software runs a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model — the only model where you get a fully operational remote engineering team in Europe, pay 0% EOR fees, and legally own the team when you're ready.
Here's what that means in practice:
We handle everything — legal entity setup across Europe, local employment contracts, payroll, tax compliance, and HR. You get senior engineers, team leads, PMs, and QA specialists who are remote-ready and working to your standards from day one.
When the time is right, the entire team transfers to your entity. No lock-in. No margin. Full ownership.
Who we work with:
We're the right partner for US and EU companies that are hiring a senior engineer remotely and want to build a serious engineering presence in Europe — without the overhead of setting up a legal entity themselves or paying an EOR a permanent cut of every salary.
Why it works:

0% EOR fees — you pay the engineer, not a middleman
Entity setup, payroll, and compliance fully managed
Senior talent: Engineers, Team Leads, PMs, QA
Legal team transfer when you're ready to own it directly
Operating across Europe — your EU engineering hub, built and run by us
