Olof Wallentinsson says Pyyne is growing its Porto office — and he wants to be clear about why.
The company’s Stockholm positioning remains unchanged: a high-end engineering consultancy. But many clients, especially startups with ambitious product roadmaps, need strong engineering capacity without the cost of having senior consultants on-site five days a week.
That’s where Porto comes in.
Over the past six months, Pyyne has expanded its nearshore team in Portugal with experienced consultants across backend engineering (.NET, cloud-native, integrations), frontend development (modern web applications), data engineering (scalable pipelines and platforms), and AI development focused on production-ready solutions — not just prototypes.
The model is straightforward: deliver high-quality engineering capacity at a more competitive cost base, while maintaining the same standards of delivery. According to Wallentinsson, consultants in Porto are expected not only to write code, but to understand the business context, challenge assumptions, and apply modern technologies to drive progress.
Swedish tech leadership and project management remain central to the setup, ensuring alignment, accountability, and quality control across teams.
For companies whose product ambitions are outpacing their in-house capacity — and where cost efficiency matters — Pyyne positions its Porto teams (typically two to eight consultants) as a deliberate strategic choice, not a compromise.
