About SouthRivers
We Solve Data Infrastructure Problems
A focused team of senior data engineers and architects based in Central Europe, building and fixing data platforms for companies that can't afford unreliable analytics.
Our Story
SouthRivers started from a simple observation: too many companies have data platforms that look good on architecture diagrams but fail in production. Pipelines break silently. Reports contradict each other. Data teams spend more time firefighting than building.
We built our practice around fixing exactly that. Not by selling a proprietary framework or locking clients into our ecosystem, but by doing the engineering work properly—and transferring that knowledge to your team.
Every engagement we take starts with the same question: what does your data team need to be self-sufficient and fast? That answer shapes everything we build.
At a Glance
Based in Central Europe
4-6 hours of daily timezone overlap with US East Coast and full European coverage.
100% Data Focus
We don't do web apps, mobile, or general IT. Data engineering and architecture is our entire business.
Senior Engineers Only
Every team member has 5+ years of production experience. We don't staff juniors on client projects.
How We Operate
Principles, Not Slogans
Transparency
Shared repos, documented decisions, honest progress updates. We don't hide problems or sugarcoat timelines.
Ownership
We treat your platform like our own. Every PR reviewed, every decision documented, every shortcut avoided.
Knowledge Transfer
Built into every engagement. When we leave, your team has full context—not a black box they're afraid to touch.
Pragmatism
We pick the right tool, not the trendy one. Simple solutions that work beat complex architectures that don't.
Location Advantage
Why Central Europe?
Central Europe sits in the sweet spot for global collaboration. We overlap meaningfully with US business hours in the morning and cover all of Europe throughout the day.
This isn't a timezone hack or a cost arbitrage play. We're here because this region produces exceptional data engineers, and the timezone alignment means real-time collaboration—not async handoffs that slow everything down.
Same-day communication with US East Coast, UK, and all EU timezones

EU data residency compliance when your platform requires it
A Typical Day
Start of our day. Async review of overnight updates from US teams. Code reviews, PR approvals.
US East Coast comes online. Joint standups, pair programming, real-time collaboration begins.
3-hour overlap complete. Handoff notes posted, blockers documented, tomorrow's priorities aligned.
4-6 hours of daily real-time collaboration. Zero "I'll get back to you tomorrow" delays.
Let's See If We're the Right Fit
No sales pressure. No obligation. Just a technical conversation about what you're facing.
