In short

Meridianstacks is a software development company serving Dublin with senior, fluent-English engineers who work the Irish business day — a 0–1 hour overlap, the best you can get from a distributed team. You meet your senior engineers before you commit, own all the code and IP, and your data is handled under GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Act. Dublin agency rates are high because the Silicon Docks multinationals soak up local talent; we deliver the same work for 40–70% less, quoted as a fixed price in euro.

Why a Dublin-hours team wins

Silicon Docks quality, without the Dublin premium

Dublin is one of the strongest tech hubs in Europe — Google, Meta, Salesforce and a dense layer of indigenous startups all hire here, which makes senior engineers scarce and local agency rates high. Meridianstacks gives Dublin companies a different route: engineers in your timezone, native-level English, and senior engineers you video-call before you commit, at a fraction of the local cost.

  • 0–1h overlap with the Dublin working day — live calls, not overnight tickets
  • Fluent, native-level English — clear specs and code review
  • Senior engineers — technically assessed before contract
  • GDPR + Irish DPA — you own the code, IP and repos; signed Data Processing Agreement

Questions & answers

Software development in Dublin — FAQ

Is Meridianstacks a software development company in Dublin?
Meridianstacks is a globally distributed team of senior, fluent-English engineers that builds software for Dublin companies while working Dublin hours. You meet your senior engineers on a video call before you commit, and you own all the code and IP. We work the same business day as Silicon Docks, so collaboration is real-time rather than an overnight handoff — at 40–70% below local Dublin agency rates.
How much does software development cost in Dublin?
Dublin agency rates are among the highest in the EMEA region, pushed up by the multinational tech cluster. An MVP web app typically costs €35,000–€90,000 with a local Dublin agency and a custom SaaS build €55,000–€170,000. Meridianstacks delivers the same scope for roughly 40–70% less, quoted as a fixed price in euro before work begins.
Do you work in Dublin business hours?
Yes. We staff Dublin engagements with engineers whose working day overlaps Irish hours almost completely — a 0–1 hour offset. That means live standups, real-time calls and same-day turnaround instead of overnight tickets, the same way an in-office Dublin team would operate.
Who owns the code and IP, and is my data protected under Irish and EU law?
You own the code and all intellectual property outright, and repositories are client-controlled from day one. We sign a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement aligned with the Irish Data Protection Act, so your personal data is handled to EU standards. New clients can start on milestone billing, so you only pay for delivered work.
Why hire developers in Dublin through a distributed team instead of a local agency?
Dublin's developer market is tight — the multinationals around Silicon Docks absorb much of the senior talent, which drives up agency rates and lengthens hiring timelines. A distributed team on Dublin hours gives you the same real-time collaboration and native-level English without that local premium or wait, at 40–70% lower cost.
Can you do app development in Dublin?
Yes. We build iOS and Android apps from a single Flutter or React Native codebase, plus the web and API backends behind them. App development in Dublin runs on the same Dublin-hours model: live calls, senior engineers, and a fixed euro quote up front.
What technologies do you work with?
React, Next.js, Node.js, Laravel/PHP and Python on the web; Flutter and React Native for mobile; plus cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and AI/LLM integration. We match the stack to your product rather than forcing a house framework.
How long does it take to build an MVP for a Dublin startup?
A focused MVP typically launches in 6–12 weeks depending on scope. We phase delivery so an early version reaches users — useful for Dublin founders raising or validating — while later features are added.
How do payments and contracts work?
We invoice in euro against agreed milestones — you only pay for delivered work. Contracts assign all IP to you and include a signed GDPR Data Processing Agreement where personal data is involved.
