Senior engineering forDublin companies

Dublin salaries are set by companies staffing a continent from the docklands. We give product and operations teams delivery capacity without entering that auction — scoped work, a start date you choose, and nobody left on payroll at the end.

Overlap with our day
Ireland runs GMT through the winter and IST — UTC+1 — through the summer, which puts Dublin seven to eight hours behind Manila. Our afternoon is your morning: 16:00 in Silang is 09:00 in Dublin under IST, and 17:00 here once the clocks go back. On a standard Philippine day that is roughly two hours of live overlap in summer and about one in winter, all of it at the opening of your day. When a build needs more, we start at midday PHT and cover your morning into the early afternoon.

What Blackbyrds Digital does in Dublin

Blackbyrds Digital gives Dublin companies senior engineering capacity without a local hire: web applications, internal platforms, and AI automation, built from our studio in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. Work is priced as a fixed quote in EUR against a written scope and contracted under Irish law, the last hours of our day cover the start of yours, and we complete the NDAs, data processing agreements, and security questionnaires Dublin procurement sends — including saying plainly where we hold no certification a policy asks for.

What the Dublin market looks like.

  • You are hiring against EMEA payrolls

    A fifty-person Irish software company and a multinational staffing a continent are interviewing the same shortlist, and only one of them is setting the market. Contracting closes the hole for a quarter, and then the person who learned how your system actually works hands back the laptop.

  • Data protection comes up on the first call

    Dublin buyers ask where data sits, what the development environment contains, and who on our side touches the project — often before the technical conversation is finished. We answer as asked, sign the data processing agreement you already use, and say plainly where we hold no certification rather than letting procurement find out in month three.

  • Local systems the group platform was never going to build

    An Irish arm of an international group runs on the group’s ERP and identity provider, and fills every remaining gap with spreadsheets and one person who knows how it fits together. Group IT will not prioritise a request from a small market, and the local team has no engineers of its own. That gap is a well-shaped studio project.

How it works with a team in the Philippines.

Ireland runs GMT through the winter and IST — UTC+1 — through the summer, which puts Dublin seven to eight hours behind Manila. Our afternoon is your morning: 16:00 in Silang is 09:00 in Dublin under IST, and 17:00 here once the clocks go back. On a standard Philippine day that is roughly two hours of live overlap in summer and about one in winter, all of it at the opening of your day. When a build needs more, we start at midday PHT and cover your morning into the early afternoon.

  1. A discovery call in your hours

    One call to understand the product, the constraint and the deadline. We book it inside your working day, not ours.

  2. A written thesis and a fixed quote

    Within about a week you get our read on the problem, a scoped plan and one number. No hourly estimates, no retainer lock-in.

  3. Weekly demos of working software

    Every week you see the actual product on a staging link. Questions are answered inside the overlap window, not left overnight.

  4. A handover you can run without us

    Repository access, environment configuration and written documentation. Then ongoing growth work, if you want us to stay.

Leinster

Dublin in context.

Dublin is where the EMEA headquarters sit, and hiring in the city follows from that single fact. Senior salaries are set by companies staffing an entire continent from the docklands, three months’ notice is standard for anyone you would actually want, and the strongest people are rarely on the market at all. So the work that reaches an outside studio here tends to arrive already shaped: a roadmap with more on it than the team can carry, a system that began as one person’s spreadsheet and now runs a department, or a local process the group platform in another country was never built to model. It clusters in international financial services and payments, aircraft leasing and the professional services around it, B2B SaaS, adtech and media, and the operations layer inside multinational back offices — heavy on process, heavy on integration, and almost never a blank page.

The other thing Dublin does differently is treat data protection as a first-call question rather than a legal review bolted on at the end. The Data Protection Commission is headquartered here and acts as lead supervisory authority for much of the technology sector operating across the EU, so an unusual share of Dublin professionals have personally sat through a DPIA, a records-of-processing exercise, or a customer’s due diligence questionnaire. We answer those questions straight: where data would sit, what a development environment would actually contain, how access is granted and revoked, and where the honest answer is that we hold no certification and will not pretend otherwise. The day itself has a simple shape — your 09:00 is our late afternoon, so we spend it with you on a call, a demo, or a decision, and what follows arrives overnight as a preview link and a written note you read before we are back online.

Dublin FAQ

Common questions.

Do you have an office in Dublin?

No — there is one studio and it is in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. A serviced desk address off Baggot Street would not change who writes the code, so we do not keep one. Everything runs remotely: calls inside your morning, a preview environment on every branch, and a written record of what changed and why it changed. If a build genuinely needs a person standing in a Dublin room, that gets said during scoping and priced accordingly, rather than turning up as a surprise after signature.

Can you join our standups and work in our tools?

Yes. Whatever you already run — Jira, Linear, Slack, Notion — is where we work, because asking a Dublin team to keep a second board updated for our benefit is how status reporting quietly replaces delivery. A daily standup drops into the morning window without anyone rearranging their life around it, and where a phase needs more live time than the window gives, we start at midday PHT and cover your morning end to end.

Our security and data protection team send every supplier a questionnaire. Can you complete it?

Yes, and the answers go in the boxes as asked rather than around them: how access is granted and revoked, how credentials and client data are handled, what a development environment actually holds, and which named people on our side touch the project. The data processing agreement you already use with your other processors is the one we sign. Where a policy names a certification we do not hold, that goes in the form too — a Dublin procurement team should be able to make its decision on accurate information in week one rather than find the gap at contract stage.
