Hire a software engineer in Greece and Cyprus

A senior engineer who owns the outcome and talks to the business directly, not a seat filled from an agency bench.

Hiring senior engineers in Greece and Cyprus is slow and the strongest rarely answer job ads, so much of the market builds through agencies whose code the client cannot judge. A software engineer from the network is one named and accountable person instead of a bench. Companies usually call when:

A senior hire is months away and the roadmap cannot wait
An agency built the system and nobody inside can judge the code
A release keeps slipping because the hard part has no owner

The software engineers on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from product organisations, scale-ups and senior industry engineering roles, across backend, web and mobile. They work with the business directly: they hear the commercial intent behind a requirement and push back on the wrong build.

What does a software engineer actually do?

Build backend, web and mobile software that holds up in production, not only in the demo
Carry a scoped build from design to production, including the unglamorous last stretch
Join your team as senior capacity and lift the standard of what ships
Review a vendor-built system and report what is actually there
Turn loose requirements into a build, and push back when the requirement is the problem
Leave tests and documentation the next engineer can live with

How to choose the right software engineer

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

Deep in your stack
Explains how the language and framework you run behave in production, and the bug that taught them.
Code others took over
Can point to code another engineer inherited and extended without a rewrite, and say what made that possible.
Estimates with assumptions
Gives estimates as ranges with the assumptions written down, and names what they would cut to hit a date.
