How much does it cost to hire a .NET developer?

.NET developers sit within our EUR 35-55/hour band depending on seniority, billed transparently per month. For Italian, EU and US companies that is typically 30-60% below an equivalent Western-European hire.

Can your .NET developers work on a legacy codebase?

Yes — that is a large share of the .NET work we take. We are used to older .NET Framework and WebForms systems that still run a business, and we migrate them incrementally rather than proposing a rewrite that nobody can afford to wait for.

How fast can a .NET developer start?

We usually present a vetted shortlist within about a week and embed the engineer in 2-3 weeks. Deep specialisations can take longer to match, and we tell you upfront rather than filling the seat quickly.

Hire .NET Developers

Square places vetted .NET developers from Tirana into your team as dedicated nearshore engineers or staff augmentation. They build and modernise the C# services your business runs on — ASP.NET Core APIs, Entity Framework data access, Azure deployments, and the unglamorous work of bringing an older .NET Framework codebase forward without stopping the business. Full CET overlap, fluent English and Italian, EUR 35-55/hour.
