We are working in europe on pushing the renewable energy transition to bring „infinite power to all of us“. There are fully remote software jobs, if you are located near CET.

I had a look at your job postings being located in the DACH region myself but I must admit I’m surprised you find anybody willing to work for the salaries listed.
I get that you’re not competing with FAANG salaries and kudos for mentioning them upfront but sub 50k gross would not even convince newly grads, let alone senior engineers where I live. We pay almost twice this and are having serious trouble hiring remote or local.

Austrian law is funny. The law says that job ads have to list the MINIMUM salary. Now what companies do is they leave the word "MINIMUM" off and kinda weasel around it in the rest of the sentence. The weaseling here is "Depending on education, qualification and experience, a substantial overpayment is possible".
The "minimum salary" is usually a mandated minimum that has been negotiated by the unions. Paying less than that is illegal.
Good developers in Austria aren't willing to work for those minimum salaries of course.

Note: Its 14 salaries a year. And part of the health insurance is not included in the negotiated amount but has to be paid by the employer. It's a DACH thing, as you know. So from an employers point of view, if you negotiated X gross with the employee, you have to actually pay at least 1.5 X, up to 2 X, for him.
Outside of HN bubble 55k€ is a normal/good salary for some regions in Germany (and maybe Austria, idk). Especially if you maybe add 10-30% to that number it should be not a problem to find senior developers. If you want to pay double that and still don't find senior developers then either your company is invisible (maybe start with advertising that kind of salary) or requires too specialized prior knowledge.
