Hire a Nearshore Development Team in Latin America
From our Miami headquarters we assemble dedicated, bilingual squads across Latin America that plug into your product roadmap without the friction of long-distance outsourcing. Expect overlap with US time zones, engineers who understand your domain, and a partner that has supported cloud, fintech, healthcare and retail platforms since day one.
- Launch a ready-to-ship pod in as little as three weeks with engineering, QA and product embedded.
- Collaborate in real time—daily standups, backlog refinement and demos happen on your clock.
- Protect velocity through automated testing, secure DevOps pipelines and constant delivery reviews.
We are not a body shop. Our delivery managers sit in the same sprint ceremonies as your product owners, and every engineer goes through a two-week domain immersion before writing their first pull request. That is how we kept a 24-month partnership with HighSide running with above-90% talent retention and consistent release cadence.
Need a combined model? Blend this squad with our staff augmentation services to scale up or down without losing context. Or if you prefer individual nearshore developers embedded in your existing team, we do that too.

Our Two-Week Onboarding Playbook
A repeatable onboarding blueprint makes the first sprint count. We co-design the ceremonies, align on tooling, and get your IP protected before the first pull request.
01
Discovery & risk mapping
Architecture review, backlog prioritization and risk assessment conducted with your tech and product leads.
02
Security & tooling setup
Access provisioning, secure device checks, VPN/MFA enforcement and alignment on Git, CI/CD, observability and documentation.
03
Ways of working calibration
Define sprint cadence, Definition of Done, testing strategy, review gates and communication channels with your stakeholders.
04
First sprint delivery
Ship production-ready value in sprint one, accompanied by metrics snapshots and a retro to fine-tune collaboration.
Case Study: HighSide Secure Collaboration Platform
HighSide, a secure collaboration scale-up, needed to extend its DevOps and Python capabilities without slowing down compliance initiatives. We embedded two senior specialists from our nearshore practice alongside their Washington D.C. team.
- 24 months+ partnership with consistent release cadence on desktop and cloud suites.
- Top-performing developers within the client’s engineering org, recognized for communication and delivery.
- Modernized Kubernetes workloads and implemented automated deployment guardrails.
See how the engagement evolved in the HighSide case study.
Case Study: Viking Services Payment Dashboard
Viking Services, a Minnesota-based payment processor, needed a modern dashboard for merchant onboarding and settlement analytics. Our nearshore squad—two Angular engineers, a UX designer, QA automation, and a product manager—delivered the solution in six weeks.
- 42% faster merchant onboarding cycle by automating document validation.
- 35% drop in payment reconciliation escalations thanks to real-time anomaly dashboards.
- 98% adoption across internal account teams within the first month.
The squad worked in US Central time, joined Viking's daily stand-ups, and ran Cypress automation suites to guard complex reconciliation logic. Read the full Viking Services case study.
Nearshore vs. Offshore: Why LATAM Wins for US Teams
Offshore teams can deliver great work, but the 10-12 hour time-zone gap introduces friction that compounds sprint after sprint. Here is what changes when your team sits within three hours of your office.
Same-day feedback loops
Code reviews happen before lunch, not overnight. When a production issue hits at 2 PM Eastern, your nearshore team is still online and can jump on a call within minutes.
Cultural and language fit
Our Latin American engineers collaborate in fluent English, understand US business norms, and share similar holiday schedules. That translates to fewer misunderstandings and faster ramp-up.
Travel-friendly proximity
Need an in-person sprint kick-off or architecture workshop? A four-hour flight from Miami to Buenos Aires or Bogotá beats a 20-hour haul to Bangalore. On-site visits become practical, not aspirational.

Sample Nearshore Engagements
Every roadmap is different. Here are two common scenarios that show how we tailor pods to your vision.
Scenario 1: Fintech platform modernization
A New York-based fintech partnered with us to refactor its monolithic payment gateway. A squad of backend, frontend and QA engineers, plus a scrum master, reduced transaction latency by 38% in four sprints while complying with US banking requirements.
The client kept its core architects in-house and leaned on our nearshore pod to accelerate delivery without stretching internal teams.
Scenario 2: Retail loyalty mobile app
A Latin American retailer needed to launch a cross-platform loyalty app before the holiday season. We assigned mobile engineers, a UX designer, QA automation and a fractional product strategist. The app launched in nine weeks with 4.7-star store ratings.
When the project transitioned to maintenance, the squad downsized and merged with an existing app development outsourcing team for ongoing release cycles.

What roles can be included in a nearshore team?
Choose from software engineers, QA analysts, UX/UI designers, DevOps, SRE, data engineers, scrum masters and fractional product leaders. We assemble the mix that aligns with your roadmap and evolve it as your priorities change.
How does nearshore compare to hiring an in-house team?
Building an in-house team takes 3-6 months of recruiting and carries overhead costs for benefits, office space, and management layers. Our nearshore squads come pre-vetted, onboard in two weeks, and scale on demand. You keep full control of priorities while we handle recruiting, retention, and professional development—giving you the speed of contractors with the accountability of an internal team.
