Staff augmentation clients almost never permit public identification, because naming an outside engineering partner says something about internal capacity that most companies prefer not to publish. We also will not present a velocity or cost-saving figure we cannot evidence, since those numbers depend heavily on what the comparison baseline was. We are happy to arrange a reference conversation with an existing client under NDA, which is more useful than a statistic anyway.
Nearshore software development
Senior engineers in Argentina, working your hours. You get the overlap and communication of an in-house team without US payroll — contracted in USD, with the IP assigned to you from day one.
US-overlapping hours · IP assigned from day one · flat monthly USD rate
What the arrangement protects
A live feedback loop instead of a 24-hour round trip
Your ownership of the code and the accounts
Continuity when someone leaves — backfill is our problem
Evidence status
Proof before promotion.
When engineering capacity is the constraint
Engineering capacity problems tend to show up as schedule problems first. These are the shapes they usually take.
What overlapping hours change
What changes when the engineers are in your working day and on your contract terms.
Standups, review, and incidents happen live
Sharing most of the US working day means code review, pairing, and incident response are conversations rather than asynchronous handoffs. The delivery speed difference comes almost entirely from this.
Senior engineers at a defensible cost
A flat monthly USD rate per engineer, comparable directly against the fully-loaded cost of an equivalent US hire — no recruiting fees, benefits administration, payroll tax, or equipment budget hiding underneath it.
English that works in a design review
Every engineer we place works directly with US clients in English, in meetings, in code review, and in writing — not through a translation layer or an account manager.
IP and accounts in your name
Assignment is written into the contract before work starts, and code lives in your repositories under your accounts from day one. There is nothing to migrate at the end because nothing was ever ours.
Retention is our problem
If an engineer leaves or is not the right fit, replacing them and transferring context is on us. That continuity is a large part of the difference between this and hiring contractors directly.

01
Define the seat honestly
We work through the stack, the seniority, the domain context, and what the engineer will actually be doing day to day. If the requirement is narrow enough that the search will be slow, we say so at this point rather than presenting a near-miss later.
02
Source and screen
We source candidates, run technical assessment, and check the communication side as carefully as the engineering side — because in an overlapping-hours model, the ability to hold a design discussion in English is part of the job, not a bonus.
03
You interview and decide
You meet shortlisted candidates and make the call. We do not place someone into your team over your objection; the point of the model is that these are your engineers, working in your process.
04
Contract, onboard, and embed
Contracting includes IP assignment before any work begins. Onboarding puts the engineer into your repositories, your tooling, and your rituals, so they are participating in your process rather than reporting into a parallel one.
05
Review and adjust
We check in on fit and performance on a regular cadence. If someone is not working out, you tell us and we replace them — sourcing, contracting, and context transfer are ours to absorb.
How quickly a team starts
Common stacks — candidates presented
1–2 weeks
Common stacks — engineer starts
3–4 weeks
Narrow or senior specialist roles
4–8 weeks
Additional engineers on a running team
2–3 weeks
Speed depends on how common the stack is, how specific the domain experience needs to be, and how quickly your team can run interviews. Unusual requirements genuinely take longer, and we would rather tell you that at the start than fill the seat with someone who nearly fits and hope it works out.
Flat monthly rate per engineer
Engineers are contracted at a flat monthly rate in USD, set by seniority and stack, with no recruiting fee and no hidden loading. That makes the comparison against a fully-loaded US hire — salary, benefits, payroll taxes, recruiting, equipment — a straightforward one. Ask for a quote and we will put real numbers next to your current cost rather than a percentage claim.
Questions about nearshore hiring
What nearshore actually means, how it compares to offshore and to a US hire, and who owns what.
01 / 07
What does nearshore software development actually mean?
Nearshore means your engineering partner sits in a nearby country with substantially overlapping working hours — for a US company, that is Latin America. It contrasts with offshore, where a 10-12 hour gap turns every clarification into a 24-hour round trip. The work is the same; the feedback loop is what changes.
