How we help technology companies

Your product is global. Your engineering team can be too. We handle the employment layer so your leaders spend their time shipping, not chasing paperwork.

01

Faster onboarding

Add engineers across South Asia in days, not months. No entity setup, no registration queue. Your roadmap sets the hiring pace instead of the other way around.

02

Protected intellectual property

Every contract assigns work product to your company under local law, with confidentiality and invention disclosure built in. Your code belongs to you from the first commit.

03

Correct equity treatment

Stock options, RSUs, and vesting schedules structured to match local tax rules in each market. Competitive offers without surprise liabilities on either side.

04

Stronger retention

Benefit packages built to compete in each local market. Health coverage, retirement contributions, gratuity, and leave that keep engineers with you when recruiters call.

Expertise you can rely on

For technology companies, hiring across borders is about precision as much as speed. We handle both.

1–3 days

From signed offer to onboarded employee. Contract generation, tax authority registration, and benefits enrollment run in parallel, so your engineer starts while others are still waiting on paperwork.

98%

Payroll accuracy rate. Every cycle passes through licensed accountants who verify calculations against current tax tables before money moves. Our Meteors Payroll Accuracy System catches what automation misses.

100%

Of our technology contracts include IP assignment and confidentiality terms drafted under local employment law. No template gaps, no ownership questions during due diligence.

Scale engineering without entity setup

Hire your first engineer in a new South Asian market in days. Add a full team next quarter. Reduce headcount when priorities shift, without unwinding a company or carrying deregistration costs.

  • Hire across multiple markets through one partner and one invoice
  • No incorporation, local director, or in-country bank account required
  • Full visibility into cost per hire before you extend the offer

Contracts built for technology work

Generic employment templates fail on the terms that matter to software companies. Every Meteors technology contract is drafted with the clauses your legal and security teams will ask about.

  • IP assignment and invention disclosure enforceable under local law
  • Confidentiality, data handling, and device policy obligations
  • Post-employment restrictions written to hold up in the jurisdiction

Reviewing an employment contract

Convert your engineering contractors

Technology teams carry the highest misclassification exposure of any industry. If your engineers work set hours, use your systems, and report to your managers, local law likely treats them as employees.

  • Clean conversion with no interruption to delivery
  • New compliant contract, authority registration, benefits enrollment, payroll setup
  • Retroactive exposure closed out properly

Every technology contract includes IP assignment, invention disclosure, and confidentiality clauses drafted under the employment law of the market you’re hiring in. Work product created by your employee belongs to your company from day one. Template contracts frequently miss this, and the gap usually surfaces during due diligence or a dispute.

Yes. Meteors becomes the legal employer in each market. We register with local authorities, run payroll, file taxes, and hold the employment liability. You don’t incorporate, appoint a local director, or open an in-country bank account. See how our Employer of Record service works.

Equity carries different tax treatment in every market, usually triggered at vesting or exercise depending on how the grant is structured. We calculate the treatment for each employee, withhold at the correct rate, and file with the right authority so neither your company nor your engineer faces an unexpected liability.

Every employee signs confidentiality and data handling agreements aligned to the standards your business operates under, covering access control obligations, device policy, and post-employment restrictions. When auditors ask how your offshore engineers are employed and what agreements bind them, you have documentation to show.

Yes. If an engineer works set hours, uses your systems, and reports to your manager, local law likely classifies them as an employee regardless of the contract in place. We handle the conversion with a new compliant contract, authority registration, benefits enrollment, and payroll setup, with no interruption to their work.
