Dedicated Engineering Pods: Plugged into Your Team in 14 Days.
Bypass the 6-month European hiring cycle and commodity contractor churn. We supply autonomous, senior-only engineering pods that integrate directly into your Jira, Slack, and GitHub — working in your time zone under a secure EU contract.
EU-contracted from Warsaw, Poland. Delivered by elite talent from Addis Ababa.
Self-Governing Engineering Teams That Ship.
Unlike generic staffing agencies that send disconnected CVs, MELOS deploys balanced, coordinated units designed to own features end-to-end.
Tech Lead & Architect
Oversees technical governance, conducts rigorous PR reviews, plans sprint milestones, and aligns with your VP of Engineering.
Senior Backend Engineer
Builds high-concurrency APIs, message queues (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and database models with strict types and sub-second query performance.
Senior Frontend / Mobile
Crafts pixel-perfect, accessible user interfaces with Next.js, React, or cross-platform Flutter/React Native mobile applications.
DevOps & QA Engineer
Automates end-to-end Cypress/Playwright suites, manages Kubernetes clusters, and maintains zero-downtime deployment pipelines.
Direct Communication on Slack & Zoom
No translation intermediaries. Talk directly to the engineer writing your code.
How a Pod Works in Practice.
We plug directly into your tools and processes. Our engineers participate in your morning standups, push code directly to your GitHub branches, and submit PRs according to your team's styling guidelines.
CET/CEST Timezone Alignment
Overlaps 100% with European work hours. Instant responses during your working day.
European Quality Standards
Clean architecture, strict typing, complete unit test suites, and comprehensive documentation.
Full IP Transfer & Non-Disclosure
All code, documentation, and intellectual property belong 100% to you under European contract law.
