International companies are already here
A US eDiscovery and AI company runs a "Center of Excellence" in Pristina, a UK digital consultancy opened an engineering hub there in 2025, and a Scandinavian technology group has its Southeast Europe headquarters in the city.
Working hours with the US and Europe
Kosovo is on Central European Time. When it is 3 pm in Kosovo, it is usually 9 am in New York and 6 am in Los Angeles, so afternoons overlap with the US morning. Teams in Switzerland, Germany and Austria work the same hours.
Skills and languages
English is widely spoken, especially among younger people, and German is common too. This suits software development, customer support and back-office work for EU, UK and US companies.
Salaries far below Swiss and German levels
Average gross pay in Kosovo is more than 80% lower than in Switzerland and Germany, across all sectors. Pay for specific roles varies, and we give you a clear cost estimate for your case.
Roles we can help you find
- Software developers, QA and DevOps
- Data and AI specialists
- Design and product roles
- Technical support and IT operations
