Software development company in Bulgaria
Simatech is a Bulgarian software engineering company that provides dedicated, Scrum-based development teams to international businesses. We have been shipping production software from Pernik, Bulgaria for over six years across fintech, healthtech, telecom, logistics and the public sector. Teams work on Central European Time, under EU contracts, at a fixed price per two-week sprint.
Key benefits
Why Bulgaria
Bulgaria is an EU and NATO member state on Central European Time, so contracts, GDPR obligations and data residency stay inside the EU while your team sits one or two hours from your working day. Engineering salaries are materially lower than in London, Amsterdam or Munich, which is where the cost difference comes from — not from thinner seniority.
Dedicated, not shared
Your squad works on your product only. No rotating bench, no engineers split across three accounts.
Scrum you can audit
Two-week sprints, a demo at the end of each one, and flow metrics (velocity, cycle time, escaped defects) reported openly.
Senior-only engineering
Every engineer we place has shipped production systems. Seniority is what makes remote delivery work.
One predictable price
Fixed price per sprint or per month. You know what next quarter costs before you commit to it.
Full technology coverage
PHP, TypeScript/React, Python, Java, .NET, plus AI engineering (RAG, agents, LLMOps) when the product needs it.
How the engagement works
1 — Scoping call (30 min)
We ask what you are shipping, what is blocking it and how your delivery works today. No pitch deck.
2 — Squad shape and price
Within one working day: proposed roles, seniority mix, monthly price and a Sprint-0 plan.
3 — Scoping sprint
One fixed-fee week that produces architecture, a refined backlog and a fixed price for the build.
4 — Delivery sprints
Two-week sprints with a shippable increment and a live demo each time. Cancel between sprints with 30 days' notice.
Team structure
- Senior engineers
- Five-plus years each, in PHP (Laravel, Symfony), TypeScript/React, Python, Java and .NET. No juniors billed as seniors.
- Scrum Master
- A practising Scrum Master who runs the ceremonies, protects the sprint goal and reports flow metrics you can audit.
- Product partner
- Backlog shaping, acceptance criteria and refinement with your product owner so sprints start ready.
- QA & DevSecOps
- Automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, environments and release hygiene included in the squad, not billed as extras.
