Actually they're paying very competitive salaries. For example: https://jobs.bendingspoons.com/positions/67c6dc18c70c531d6db....

I can't see any salaries there but presumably they're going to be competitive for Europe, which is roughly half the competitive salary in America.

There are plenty of competent devs outside America. I can't see any reason why you'd want to pay American salaries if you're a global company.

That would be excellent pay for a junior engineer in Italy.
An annual salary of £85,797 in London for a junior is impressive, too.
AFAIK that's what they offer to juniors straight out of university and usually even give a substantial pay rise after the first year. I don't know other places in Italy that can match that.
