Hire developers from Kosovo who work as part of your team.
Kosovo is one of Europe's fastest-growing tech hubs. At tre plus, we select and manage developers from Pristina who integrate into your product team. Same timezone, strong communication, predictable costs.
Why Kosovo for software development
Kosovo has a young, tech-focused workforce. With over 2,500 IT graduates entering the market each year, the country is building a strong talent pipeline in modern development stacks like React, .NET, Python and cloud-native.
The country operates in CET, the same timezone as the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Developers speak fluent English, work with a direct European communication style and share the same working hours as your local team.
How hiring through tre plus works
We are not a recruitment platform. We employ every developer ourselves and manage them from our office in Pristina. You get a developer who works exclusively on your product, fully embedded in your tools, workflows and sprint cycles.
You tell us what you need. We match developers based on tech stack, seniority and product fit. Within 7 business days you meet profiles that match. Onboarding is then possible within 2 to 4 weeks.
Kosovo vs other nearshore locations
Countries like Poland, Romania and Portugal are well-known nearshore destinations, but they come with rising costs and competitive hiring markets. Kosovo offers the same timezone, strong English skills and European work culture, at significantly lower rates.
Unlike offshore locations in Asia, there is no timezone gap. Your developer joins your morning stand-up, responds in real time and works the same hours as your Dutch or European team.
What makes tre plus different
We are Dutch-led and Kosovo-based. That means Dutch communication standards, combined with Kosovo's growing developer talent. We are not an agency that rotates people. Our developers stay, grow and build ownership over your product.
We handle everything operational: contracts, equipment, workspace, HR and retention. You focus on your product. We make sure the people behind it are set up for success.
Roles we match from Kosovo
Full-stack engineers, frontend and backend developers, DevOps engineers, QA specialists and data engineers. Every developer has at least 4 years of experience and is selected on technical depth, communication and team fit.
Whether you need one developer to strengthen your team or a complete squad to own delivery, we have the flexibility to match.
