Employer of Record and payroll services for companies launching in Portugal and Southern Europe
BRIDGE IN is a Portugal-based EOR and payroll platform serving startups and established companies expanding into Southern Europe. The tech stack—React, Node.js, Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL—reflects a full-stack, API-first architecture. Active hiring in finance (13 roles) and engineering (6) alongside a greenfield AI product and ongoing shift toward automation and technology-driven accounting delivery signals the company is moving beyond manual payroll processing into a scalable, product-led model while addressing endemic pain points: repetitive data entry, old code maintenance, and compliance overhead in a bureaucratic regional environment.
