Nearshore Partner

World-Class Software. European Values.

A boutique Madrid studio trusted by companies across the UK, US and Europe. Senior engineers who speak your language, share your timezone and understand your business culture.

Strategic advantages

Why European?

The best of both worlds: world-class engineering talent with full timezone alignment, cultural fit and EU regulatory compliance.

Same Timezone

CET timezone: just 1 hour difference from the UK, with solid overlap with US East Coast. Real-time collaboration, not async guesswork.

EU Regulations

GDPR-native development. Your data stays in the EU. Full compliance with European data protection standards from day one.

Cultural Alignment

Western business culture, direct communication, no hierarchy barriers. We challenge ideas, push back when needed, and think like partners.

Travel Accessible

2-hour flight from London to Madrid. Direct flights from every major European and US city. Face-to-face whenever you need it.

Our approach

Not offshore. Not a body shop.

We are a boutique studio of senior engineers who care deeply about craft. Every project gets our best people, from start to finish.

Senior Engineers Only

No juniors learning on your project. Every team member has 8+ years of experience building production software for demanding clients. You get expertise from day one.

Fixed Teams

The people who start your project are the people who finish it. No rotations, no handoffs, no "meet your new developer" surprises halfway through.

Product Thinking

We don't just execute specifications. We challenge requirements, suggest better approaches, and think about your users as much as you do. Partners, not hands.

Artisan Quality

Every project is measured against our Soamee Artisan Index: performance, accessibility, code quality, test coverage and documentation. We hold ourselves to the highest standard.

The difference is in the details

When you hire a large offshore team, you get process. When you hire us, you get craftspeople who take personal pride in every line of code. We are small by design — because great software is built by focused teams, not factories.

Process

The comparison

The numbers speak for themselves

How a European boutique studio compares to traditional offshore and onshore options.

Offshore (India/EE) London/NYC Agency Soamee (Madrid)
Timezone overlap with UK 3-5 hours Full Full (1h difference)
Communication style Async-heavy Synchronous Sync + structured async
Senior engineer ratio Mixed (junior-heavy) High 100% senior
EU data compliance No / varies Yes Yes (GDPR native)
Cultural alignment Adaptation needed Native Very high
On-site meetings Difficult Easy Easy (2h flight)
Team continuity High turnover Good Dedicated fixed team
Product thinking Execution-focused Strategic Strategic + hands-on

The question isn't "where can we find the cheapest developers?" — it's "where can we find the best team that truly integrates with ours?" For UK and US companies, a Madrid-based studio offers the ideal combination of talent, proximity and cultural fit.

Industries we serve

FAQ

Questions about working with a European agency

How does communication work across timezones?
Madrid is CET (UTC+1), meaning just 1 hour ahead of the UK and with 5-6 hours of overlap with US East Coast. We schedule all meetings in your timezone and provide async updates via Slack or Teams. Most clients tell us it feels like working with a local team.
Do you travel to client offices?
Yes. For discovery workshops, sprint kickoffs and key milestones, we travel to your location. Madrid has direct flights to London (2h), New York (7h), and most European capitals. We typically visit 2-4 times per engagement.
How do you handle data protection and GDPR?
As a Spanish company operating under EU law, GDPR compliance is built into our DNA. All development infrastructure is EU-hosted, we follow privacy-by-design principles, and we can sign DPAs aligned with your requirements.
What languages does your team speak?
Our entire team is fluent in English — it's our working language for all international projects. Several team members also speak French, Portuguese and German. All documentation, code comments and communication are in English.
How do contracts and IP work?
We work under English or Spanish law contracts depending on your preference. Full IP transfer on delivery is standard. We are familiar with UK and US contracting norms and can adapt to your legal requirements.
