Hire Dedicated Developers in Lithuania: market overview
Lithuania issues many EU e-money and payment licences, so fintechs there need payment, IBAN and compliance platforms. Within that market, hire dedicated developers is one of the engagements we are asked for most often.
Demand is strongest across EMI & payments, Fintech and Crypto, and every engagement is shaped by local regulation, payment habits and working hours rather than a one-size-fits-all template.

How key sectors in Lithuania use hire dedicated developers
Hire Dedicated Developers for EMI & payments
EMI & payments businesses in Lithuania usually need high approval rates, local payment methods, payouts and automated reconciliation. For them, our hire dedicated developers typically starts with devops & cloud (aWS, Azure, Docker and Kubernetes engineers) and adds full squads as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on authorisation rate and cost per transaction.
Hire Dedicated Developers for Fintech
Fintech businesses in Lithuania usually need secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting. For them, our hire dedicated developers typically starts with qa engineers (manual and automation testers) and adds frontend developers as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
Hire Dedicated Developers for Crypto
Crypto businesses in Lithuania usually need licence-ready custody, transaction monitoring, wallet security and clear user disclosures. For them, our hire dedicated developers typically starts with full squads (tech lead, developers, QA and a Scrum master as one unit) and adds backend developers as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on deposit-to-trade conversion and withdrawal processing time.
