Remote full-stack developer for Denmark
Danish product teams in Copenhagen and Aarhus compete for scarce senior full-stack engineers, and even under flexible flexicurity rules a permanent hire is a high fixed cost. I plug in as a remote senior full-stack developer, PHP/Laravel, JavaScript/Vue and React, WordPress, and infrastructure, working from Spain in the same CET/CEST timezone, so your team gains capacity in weeks without adding permanent headcount.
A good fit for Danish product companies and Copenhagen scale-ups that need a senior engineer now: to cover a gap, take on a backlog, or extend the team without opening a permanent role and its full salary and benefit load.
Danish product firms and Copenhagen scale-ups compete for the same small pool of senior engineers, and senior salaries are among the highest in Europe. A permanent hire is a large fixed cost. A remote senior on a flexible engagement gives you the same capacity without it.
Flexicurity makes hiring and firing flexible, but the running cost is still high: a 37-hour week, five to six weeks holiday, feriepenge, pension contributions, and notice periods all add up. A remote engagement carries none of that overhead.
Feature backlog, technical debt, or a stalled migration need someone who can own the code, not a ticket-taker who needs supervision. I work directly with your existing team and lead, not around them.
Agency retainers add account management overhead and rotate junior developers behind a senior sales pitch. Hiring one senior engineer directly is cheaper and the person doing the work is the person you talked to.
Full-stack work spans Laravel APIs, Vue and React front ends, WordPress, integrations with MobilePay, MitID, or EU VAT (moms), and the infrastructure underneath. Splitting that across three specialists slows delivery and multiplies handoffs.
Hiring is a two-way risk. A short paid trial sprint lets your team and me confirm the working relationship before either side commits to a longer engagement.
PHP and Laravel APIs, Vue and React front ends, WordPress, integrations such as MobilePay, MitID, and EU VAT (moms), plus the server and deployment infrastructure that keeps it all running.
I work in your repository, your ticket tracker, and your stand-ups, alongside your engineers, not as an outsourced black box handing back finished tickets. Autonomy and trust, the way Danish teams work.
Scale from a day-rate engagement to a monthly retainer as the work changes, without a permanent contract, the 37-hour week, holiday, feriepenge, pension, or notice-period overhead.
I invoice as a business based in Spain to a business in Denmark, both inside the EU. No work permit, no sponsorship process, no immigration paperwork on either side, and GDPR and Datatilsynet expectations respected.
Spain and Denmark share the same CET/CEST timezone, so the working day overlaps completely. Stand-ups, calls, and pairing happen in real time, and a remote senior behaves like a local team member rather than someone hours behind.
You get a clear next step and cost before committing to anything beyond it, whether that is a single trial sprint or an ongoing monthly engagement.
We talk through your stack, the gap you need filled, and whether a day rate, a monthly engagement, or a fixed-scope project fits best.
For a new relationship, a short paid trial sprint confirms the fit before any longer commitment. For known work, we agree a fixed scope and price upfront.
I work inside your repository and process: code review, your ticket tracker, and your team's existing standards, not a separate workflow bolted on the side.
Move between a monthly engagement and day-rate work as your needs change, or wind down cleanly with documentation handed over. No long notice period locks you in.

Your site is slow, updates break things, or customers cannot complete checkout. I find the real cause, fix the critical path, and leave you with a site your team can safely operate.
Turn a product idea or an unfinished platform into software people can actually use and pay for — including subscriptions, onboarding, dashboards, integrations, and reliable releases.
Reduce repetitive work with focused tools and workflows: process documents, prepare answers, connect systems, or give your team faster access to internal knowledge.
Keep the business running while an old PHP, Laravel, or WordPress system is made safer and easier to change. Improvements are delivered in controlled steps, not as a risky big-bang rewrite.
For businesses that need someone to know the system and take care of it every month: updates, monitoring, fixes, and small improvements without briefing a new contractor each time.

I work fully remotely from Spain, which shares the same CET/CEST timezone as Denmark. Our working days overlap completely, so stand-ups, calls, pairing, and same-day replies happen in real time, exactly as they would with someone on your own team in Copenhagen or Aarhus.
A permanent senior hire in Denmark carries a high salary plus pension, feriepenge, five to six weeks holiday, and the running cost of a 37-hour week, even before recruitment. Flexicurity makes the contract flexible, but the ongoing cost stays high. A day rate or monthly engagement gets senior capacity working within weeks, without that fixed load and with no notice period if your needs change.
Spain and Denmark are both in the EU, so there is no work permit, visa, or sponsorship process. I invoice your business as a self-employed professional running my own studio, and you handle it like any other EU supplier invoice, with EU VAT (moms) handled the standard way and GDPR and Datatilsynet expectations respected.
I work inside your existing repository, ticket tracker, and code review process, alongside your engineers rather than as a separate outsourced unit. I expect autonomy and communicate directly, the way Danish teams work on trust (tillid), so a new colleague barely notices I am not in the same office.
Yes, that is exactly what the trial sprint is for. It is real, paid work on your actual codebase, not a take-home exercise, and either side can decide not to continue afterward with no hard feelings.
There is no long lock-in. Day-rate and monthly engagements can be scaled down or paused with short notice, since the point of this arrangement is flexibility that a permanent hire cannot offer.
Share your stack, the scope of the work, and the kind of engagement you are considering. I read every message and reply personally, usually within one business day.
