The engineers you need —
without the 6-month hiring process.

Swiss hiring is slow and expensive. Freelancers are unpredictable. We give you a third option: vetted senior engineers from Spain, embedded in your team, working to your standards — in weeks.

Now AI-leveraged — every engineer works AI-first, still production-grade. What that means →

What to expect

2–4wk

Time to first engineer

IP yours by contract

You approve every engineer before they start

Risk-free pilot — wrong fit means free replacement

Works in your Slack, Jira, your workflow

Currently 1–2 engineers, scaling to full teams

Is this for you?

You're the right fit if any of these sounds familiar.

We work best with CTOs, engineering leads, and founders who are done waiting for local hiring to catch up with their roadmap.

✓

Your engineering backlog keeps growing and hiring locally takes too long

Average Swiss tech hire takes 4–6 months. We can have someone in your team in 2–4 weeks.

✓

You've been burned by freelancers who disappear or don't deliver

Our engineers are permanent hires in our network — vetted, accountable, and not going anywhere.

✓

You need flexibility — scale up when things are busy, down when they're not

No long-term HR commitments. Adjust team size as your needs change.

✓

You want to grow beyond 1–2 engineers into a proper dedicated team

We're built to scale with you — start with one, build to a team of 3, 5, or more.

Roles we place

Senior engineers across every discipline.

What you get

Concrete outcomes, not promises.

Here's exactly what happens from the moment you reach out to the moment your engineer is working in your team.

Handpicked profiles — not a CV dump

We send you 3–5 vetted candidates that match your specific stack, culture, and pace. You're not sifting through 40 applications.

You interview and approve every engineer

No one joins your team without your sign-off. You run the interviews exactly as you would for any internal hire.

Onboarding support included

We help them integrate — tools, workflows, team rituals. The first two weeks are the most important and we're hands-on through them.

Regular check-ins from apeirum

We stay involved. Monthly check-ins with both you and the engineer to catch friction early, before it becomes a problem.

Risk-free pilot period

If the fit isn't right after the pilot, we replace the engineer at no additional cost. You don't pay for a mismatch.

How it works

From first call to engineer in your team.

Four steps. No bloated onboarding process. No agency layers between you and the people doing the work.

Discovery Call

We map your team structure, your stack, and what's slowing you down. The more specific you are, the better the match.

Embedded & Working

Engineer joins your Slack, your Jira, your standups. Apeirum stays in the loop with monthly check-ins.

2–4 wk total

No long-term contracts. No upfront fees. If the first engineer isn't right, we replace them — at no cost to you.

The bespoke solutions and focus on strategic partnership by apeirum are unique. They assembled remote engineering teams that fit perfectly with the culture of the Swiss company — something we genuinely didn't expect to find this quickly.

FAQ

Questions before you reach out.

The things CTOs and engineering leads usually ask before the first call.

How is this different from a recruitment agency?

Agencies hand you CVs and disappear. We stay involved throughout — vetting candidates, supporting onboarding, and checking in monthly. If something's not working, we fix it. A recruiter's job ends when you sign; ours doesn't.

Can a nearshore team in Spain work for a Swiss company?

Yes — that's exactly our model. apeirum is a Swiss–Spanish nearshore software development partner: senior engineers based in Spain, embedded in your Swiss team in the same time zone, working to Swiss standards with IP assigned to you by contract. You get a nearshore development partner in Spain built for Swiss companies, without the cost or the four-to-six-month lag of a local hire. New to the model? Read what nearshore staffing is and how to get started.

Can we hire the engineer permanently later?

Yes. We build that possibility into our contracts from the start. If you want to bring an engineer on full-time after working together, we'll agree a straightforward conversion fee upfront — no surprises and no hard feelings.

Do you only place individual engineers or can you build a whole team?

Both. We can place a single specialist to fill a specific gap, or build out an entire engineering function — frontend, backend, QA, DevOps — working as a coordinated team in your sprints and standups.

What seniority levels do you work with?

Senior only, minimum 5 years of relevant experience. We're not a volume recruiter. Every profile we send has been individually vetted for technical depth, communication skills, and the ability to work independently without hand-holding.

What if the engineer doesn't work out?

We include a risk-free pilot on every engagement. If a placement isn't right, we'll find a replacement quickly and at no additional cost. In practice this is rare — because we take the matching process seriously before anyone starts.
