Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with our nearshore teams.
What is nearshore software development?
Nearshore software development means partnering with engineering teams in nearby countries that share your timezone. Unlike offshore outsourcing, nearshore teams work the same business hours as you, enabling real-time collaboration, daily standups, and seamless communication — just like having an in-house team.
Why Costa Rica for software development?
Costa Rica ranks #1 in English proficiency in Latin America, has top-tier universities producing 8,000+ STEM graduates annually, and operates in the US Central Time Zone. Major companies like Intel, Amazon, and Microsoft already have R&D centers here. You get US-quality engineering at 60% lower cost.
How quickly can you assemble a team?
We can have a fully vetted, senior-level team ready within 1–2 weeks. Our talent pool is pre-screened with rigorous technical assessments, so we match the right engineers to your project's specific tech stack and domain requirements without delays.
What technologies do you work with?
Our teams are proficient in React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, Swift, Kotlin, React Native, AWS, Azure, GCP, PostgreSQL, and more. We stay current with modern frameworks and best practices, and we'll match specialists to your exact stack.
How do you ensure code quality?
Every project follows industry best practices: code reviews, automated testing (unit, integration, and E2E), CI/CD pipelines, and comprehensive documentation. Our senior engineers average 8+ years of experience and treat your codebase as their own.
What does engagement look like day-to-day?
Your nearshore team integrates directly into your workflow — shared Slack channels, daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives. We use your tools (Jira, GitHub, Figma, etc.) and adapt to your processes, not the other way around.
Do you handle full projects or only staff augmentation?
Both. We offer dedicated nearshore teams for staff augmentation and end-to-end project delivery where we handle everything from architecture and design to development, QA, and deployment. Choose the model that fits your needs.
What about intellectual property and security?
Your IP is 100% yours. Every team member signs NDAs and our contracts include full IP assignment clauses. We follow security best practices including encrypted communications, access controls, and compliance with industry standards like SOC 2 and HIPAA when required.
