Engineers who own a feature end to end, useful when a small team needs to move without handoffs.

Mobile engineers

React Native, iOS and Android engineers for the apps your users actually run.

QA automation engineers

Engineers who build and maintain the regression suites in your pipeline, so releases stop waiting on manual testing.

DevOps engineers

TERMS

What you get in writing before anyone starts

Every provider on this search promises senior people and a fast start. Almost none of it survives into a contract. Here is what ends up in yours.

What the agreement says
Who manages the engineer

You do. Your leads set priorities, in your tools, your sprints and your code review. We handle payroll, benefits and local compliance, so the only thing you manage is the work.

How fast they start

Matched profiles within days, your interview and your approval, and most engineers onboard in under 2 weeks.

What happens if it is not the right fit

We replace the engineer. The replacement window is written into the agreement before the start date, not negotiated in the middle of a problem.

How you scale or end it

Add or remove engineers as the roadmap moves. The notice period is fixed in the contract and applies both ways.

Who owns the code

You do, from the first commit. Repositories and accounts stay under your organization and the contract assigns all intellectual property to you.

What you pay

A monthly rate per engineer, by seniority, with no recruiting fees. Senior LATAM rates typically run 30-50% below equivalent US salaries.

HOW WE ENGAGE

Three ways to work with us

Staff augmentation is the model on this page. Here is how it compares with the other two, so you can pick the one that fits how your team runs.

Staff augmentation

Senior engineers added to your existing team, under your direction. Best when you have a technical lead and need capacity or a specific skill.

Dedicated development teams

A stable team that works only on your product, with a lead on our side. Best when you want a whole workstream owned without hiring a manager for it.

Custom software development

A defined scope delivered end to end under our management, for a fixed price. Best when the scope is clear and you want one number and one date.

TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE

Stacks our engineers work in

The technologies you are most likely to be hiring for, and the ones we staff most often.

Backend

Frontend

Mobile

Cloud and DevOps

Data

AI

INDUSTRIES

Engineers who already know your industry's rules

An engineer who has shipped under your regulator learns your codebase faster than one who has not.

Fintech

Engineers used to PCI scope, audit trails and month-end edge cases.

Healthcare

Engineers who have worked with PHI under HIPAA and know what never goes in a log.

SaaS

Engineers who have built multi-tenant products and shipped weekly.

Logistics

Engineers who have worked on systems that run around the clock.

Retail

Engineers who have been through a peak season and know what breaks.

Manufacturing

Engineers who have integrated with plant equipment nobody wants to touch.

FAQ

FAQs about our staff augmentation services

01

How much does staff augmentation cost?

A monthly rate per engineer that depends on seniority and stack. Senior LATAM rates typically run 30-50% below equivalent US salaries, there are no recruiting fees, and you get a line-item estimate on the first call.
02

How fast can an engineer start?

We present matched profiles within days, you interview and approve them, and most engineers onboard in under 2 weeks. A US hire for the same role typically takes 3 to 6 months.
03

How do you vet engineers?

Technical interviews by senior engineers in the same discipline, a review of real production work, and an English and communication check. You run the final interview yourself, so nobody joins your team without your approval.
04

Who manages the engineer day to day?

You do. The engineer takes direction from your lead, works in your tools and follows your process. We stay responsible for the employment side and for making sure the engagement is working, and we check in with you regularly.
05

What happens if the engineer is not the right fit?

We replace them. The replacement terms are written into the agreement before the start date, so the conversation is short if it ever has to happen.
06

Can we scale down or end the engagement?

Yes. Engagements flex with your roadmap, and the notice period is fixed in the contract and applies both ways. That is the point of working this way rather than hiring full time for a peak you cannot predict.
07

Who owns the code and the intellectual property?

You do. Everything the engineer produces lives in your repositories under your accounts, and the contract assigns all intellectual property to you.
08

How much time zone overlap will we have?

Our engineers work across Latin America on US Central and Eastern time, which gives 6-8 hours of daily overlap. They join your stand-ups, your reviews and your Slack in your working day.
09

How is this different from a dedicated team or a fixed-bid project?

With staff augmentation you get people and you direct them. With a dedicated team you get a workstream owned by a team with a lead on our side. With a fixed-bid project you get a defined scope for a fixed price under our management. Plenty of clients start with the first and move to the second.
10

Do your engineers work in our tools and our process?

Yes, that is the default. Your repositories, your ticketing, your CI, your communication channels and your definition of done. An engineer who needs a parallel process is not augmenting your team.
