02 — Build

Build your engineering organization

We don't just fill seats. We design the organization — structure, roles and leadership — and build complete teams across engineering, product, data and AI that are aligned with your business goals.

It's what our founders have done for 20+ years: departments built from zero, data and software products launched, and hubs scaled from a handful of people to 200+.

  • Organization design — team structure, roles and the leadership layer, aligned with your business goals
  • Complete teams across engineering, product, data, AI, QA and design — not just individual hires
  • AI team planning — the AI and ML roles you actually need, plus support adopting AI across your team
  • AI-ready hiring — every candidate assessed on how they work with AI coding and productivity tools
  • Custom job descriptions and recruiting strategy aligned with your stack
  • Technical & cultural assessments — no shortcuts on quality, ever
  • Onboarding & cultural integration into your company and values
  • Payroll, benefits & HR managed end-to-end on your behalf
  • Retention programs — culture, growth and engagement built in

For engineering leaders

What CTOs ask us first.

Straight answers on hiring speed, talent, quality and ownership.

How long does it take to hire?
About one month, from the moment we agree on the role requirements to a signed hire.
Which profiles can you hire?
Software engineers (full-stack, backend, frontend), AI and machine learning engineers, data scientists, data engineers, business intelligence analysts, DevOps and cloud, QA and automation, product and project managers, UI/UX designers and business analysts — from junior to engineering leadership.
How do you assess candidates?
We write the job description and recruiting strategy around your stack, then run technical and cultural assessments. No shortcuts on quality.
Do your engineers work with AI?
Yes. Every candidate is assessed on how they work with AI coding and productivity tools, teams use them day to day, and we help you plan the AI and ML roles you need.
Who owns the code and the IP?
Your company. The team is employed by your own Costa Rican entity, so the IP sits in your entity — not with a vendor.
How does the team work with ours?
Central Time year-round, with full overlap with U.S. business hours. We onboard every hire into your company, your culture and your brand — they work as part of your team, not next to it.
What if we want to run it ourselves later?
It is already yours. The entity, the people and the know-how stay with your company — there is nothing to transfer.

03 — Operate

Run your back office — completely and continuously

Accounting, legal, compliance, HR administration and office management — ongoing, every day.

  • Monthly accounting — bookkeeping, financial statements and tax filings
  • Ongoing legal compliance — regulatory monitoring and labor law updates
  • HR administration — employee relations, benefits and performance
  • Office & facilities management — day-to-day operations and vendor relations
  • Reporting & visibility — regular updates so you always know what's happening
20 years
of operational experience — accounting, legal, HR and office under one team.
