Add senior engineering bandwidth without getting buried in recruiting cycles, inflated US hiring costs, or overloaded internal teams.
What this unlocks
Faster roadmap execution
More engineering capacity without slowing the team down.
Reduced recruiting overhead
Skip months of sourcing and dead-end interviews.
US-hours collaboration
Faster feedback loops and product decisions.
Senior execution
Engineers who can own production work.
PLAIN ENGLISH
Nearshore staff augmentation means adding external software engineers from nearby time zones into your existing team. They do not disappear into an outsourced handoff. They join your standups, planning, code reviews, Slack, Jira, QA, releases, and production support.
Your team keeps the roadmap. We help you find and vet LATAM engineers who can work inside that roadmap without creating more management drag.
Your team owns the roadmap, priorities, architecture decisions, and product context.
We screen for stack fit, communication, ownership, shipped work, and how the engineer behaves inside a real delivery team.
Standups, code reviews, planning, Slack, Jira, QA, deploys, and support. This is team extension, not work tossed over a wall.
How it works
No long sales process. No procurement runaround. Most teams go from the first call to an engineer on the team in under two weeks.
Day 1
A 30-minute call. What you are building, what is missing, who you want on the team.
Days 2-7
Hand-picked from our network. Already pre-interviewed. Ready to meet you this week.
Days 8-10
Talk to each one. Test them however you want. Choose the person you actually want to work with.
Week 2
On your tools, in your meetings, working your hours. From their first day, they are part of the team.
Workday overlap
Latin America runs on the same business day as the US. Six to nine hours of real overlap, every day, depending on the country and the coast you are on.
Nearshore vs offshore
A 12-hour timezone gap turns every blocker into a day-long wait. By the time your offshore team gets your answer, your sprint is already bleeding time. Here is what that costs in real operating friction.
Lost per engineer per week
That is what async-only collaboration costs you. Three sprints a quarter, gone.
Offshore - 8-12 hr gap
You write specs at 5pm. They work overnight. You wake up to questions that block their next day. Repeat.
Nearshore - 0-2 hr gap
Latin America runs on US business hours. Your engineer is in your standup, your Slack, and your sprint live.
Stop paying offshore prices for offshore problems.
Talk to an engineerWho this is for
We are not the right help for every team. We are the right help if you are stuck in one of these four spots.
If this is you
You promised the team you would hire. You promised investors you would ship. Three months later you are still interviewing, and the work is not getting done. You do not need a recruiter. You need someone writing code.
What you get
10days
From the first call to a senior engineer ready to work inside your team.
If this is you
You spent weeks finding someone great. You made an offer. They took a bigger-company package instead. Now you are back to the beginning, and your team is still doing two jobs each. You cannot win every US salary fight. You should not have to.
What you get
Lowerloaded cost
Senior LATAM engineers doing serious product work without the full US hiring cycle.
If this is you
The people who have actually built this kind of product are already busy, and plenty of profiles are just keyword stuffing. You need someone who has seen real systems, not someone learning on your budget. We have built AI products ourselves. We know what to ask.
What you get
14days
A specialist shortlist for AI agents, RAG systems, APIs, cloud, and internal tools.
If this is you
You hired someone off a freelance site. Deadlines slipped, the work needed redoing, and then communication got weird. You are done with that. You want someone who treats your work like their work.
What you get
Full-timepeople
Engineers on a real engagement, working real hours, inside your delivery rhythm.
Sound like your week? Let's talk.

Built by developers, not recruiters
Need the deeper philosophy? Read how our technical vetting differs from recruiter keyword matching.
OWN THE WORK
Can they turn a messy product ask into a sane release path?
Deploys, QA, rollback risk, and release hygiene are part of the screen.
When production breaks, they need to diagnose calmly and communicate clearly.
Reviews should improve the system, not just defend a first pass.
WORK WITH HUMANS
Can they explain speed, risk, scope, and maintainability clearly?
Updates should make progress and blockers visible without chasing.
Clear English keeps product context and decisions moving.
Can they challenge a weak ticket without creating drama?
MATCH THE SYSTEM
We compare the role against systems they have actually shipped.
Architecture judgment should fit the product stage and constraints.
We look for useful tests and a clear sense of risk.
Product teams need comfort with services, integrations, and infrastructure.
Pricing
Pricing is inclusive of all fees: one flat monthly fee, with no hidden recruiting, platform, or placement charges.
3-5 yrs experience
Ships features on a defined roadmap.
$5.5k-$7.5k
6-10 yrs experience
Owns features end-to-end. Makes architecture calls.

Nearshore software staff augmentation means adding external software engineers from nearby time zones into your existing team. For US companies, that often means LATAM engineers who can join standups, planning, code reviews, QA, releases, and production support during shared working hours.
Outsourcing usually hands a project or task to an external vendor. Staff augmentation adds engineers to your team so they work inside your tools, rituals, product context, and delivery cadence. Your team keeps product direction while the augmented engineer helps ship the work.
LATAM engineers give US teams more workday overlap than many offshore options. That helps with standups, code review, product questions, production issues, and faster feedback loops. The value is not just rate. It is less management drag and more useful output per week.
Timing depends on the role, stack, seniority, timezone needs, and how specific the requirements are. The goal is a focused shortlist in days, not a giant resume pile that burns your calendar.
Yes. The model is built around engineers joining your workflow: Slack, Jira, GitHub, standups, code reviews, planning, QA, releases, and the communication rhythm your team already uses.
Yes, when the role calls for it. We can screen for engineers with relevant production context around AI agents, RAG systems, APIs, cloud infrastructure, internal tools, and product integrations.
Pricing is scoped by the actual role: seniority, stack depth, engagement model, availability, timezone needs, and ownership expectations. We scope the work first, then show candidates and pricing tied to that role.
We cover the operating setup during role intake and document what is included before an engagement starts. Contracts, payroll, compliance, replacements, and support expectations depend on the country, role, and engagement model, so we do not treat them as generic one-size-fits-all copy.
