ScaleTech is a nearshore software development partner for German companies. Based in Vilnius, we provide senior product-engineering teams, GDPR compliance without third-country transfers, a one-hour difference from Berlin and cost well below German in-house hiring — with a 4.9 Clutch rating.
Why German companies nearshore to Lithuania
Senior engineering roles in Germany often stay open for months, and total employment cost keeps rising. Nearshoring to Lithuania addresses both without the drawbacks of distant offshoring: the same legal framework, a one-hour time difference and roughly two hours' flight from Frankfurt or Berlin.
- Senior web and mobile engineers: React, Next.js, Node.js, Java, .NET, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin.
- GDPR inside the EU — no third-country transfer, no standard contractual clauses required.
- One hour ahead of Berlin: daily, review and deployment within the same working day.
- Dedicated team or augmentation of your existing team, depending on stage.
Contracting structure and AÜG
German buyers are rightly cautious about temporary staffing law and bogus self-employment. Our engineers are employed by ScaleTech in Lithuania and work as a team under our technical leadership against a defined deliverable, through a services contract between companies rather than the placement of individuals into your management structure. The exact contractual form should be reviewed by your legal department.
