Work for a US company without leaving Kosovo or Albania

How it works, in plain terms

Verified · checked on 24 Oct 2026

AlbanianHire matches a developer with a US team, and the developer works as part of that team. It isn't a one-off freelance gig: the developer joins the team's standups, Slack and code reviews like any other colleague.

US hours: developers work with at least 4 hours of overlap with the client's team. The default shift is 14:00–22:00 local time, which is 8:00–16:00 Eastern Time.

US contract: the client signs with Stackstone LLC, a US company. Every engagement includes IP assignment and an NDA, so the code belongs to the client.

Month to month: billing is monthly, with no placement fee and no long-term lock-in.

A replacement if it doesn't fit: if a developer isn't the right fit in the first 30 days, AlbanianHire finds a replacement at no extra cost. Conditions apply.

For the diaspora reader in the US

Many of us know someone who runs a small agency, a software company or an online store and keeps saying, "I can't find a good developer." You don't need to sell them anything. Just know there's an option that keeps the work with someone in Prishtina, Tirana, Prizren or Durrës, on the client's own working day and under a US contract.

If that sounds like someone you know, send them this page, or point them straight to AlbanianHire:

For the developer back home

The idea is simple: work for an American team without emigrating. The shift starts in the early afternoon local time, so your mornings stay free. You don't move, and your family and your city stay where they are.

You can share your skills with AlbanianHire anonymously: there's no name, photo or CV, and nothing is published. If you'd rather apply with your name and CV, there's a separate developer application.

Why it matters at home

In 2024, 19.5% of young people aged 15–24 in Kosovo's labour force were unemployed: 16.7% of young men and 24.7% of young women (Kosovo Agency of Statistics, Labour Force Survey 2024, Table 2.4).

Remote work for foreign teams is one way skilled people can earn without leaving.
