Nearshore Software Development
You lead the engineering. We handle recruiting, onboarding, HR, and retention. Your developers report to you and use your tools from day one.
Cross-Functional Pods
Your frontend, backend, QA, and DevOps engineers align to your product areas. One team, one mission, your priorities.
Your Stack, Your Standards
Your team works in your repos, your CI/CD pipeline, and your code review process from day one. No ramp-up on unfamiliar tools.
Built-In Technical Leadership
A dedicated tech lead supports every 5-6 engineers, ensuring consistent code quality and structured mentorship from day one.
Sprint Parity, Fast
Your team hits full sprint parity in under 3 months. Same velocity, same Agile ceremonies, same accountability.
Retention That Actually Works
Your engineers stay. 100% retention in the first 6 months, backed by career development, recognition, and community.
Security and Compliance Built In
Your code and data stay protected. ISO 27001 certified with SOC 2 in progress. Controlled access on every engagement.

To full sprint parity
Certified facilities
You've got more work than your team can handle. Local hiring takes months and costs a fortune. Offshore teams slow you down, communicate poorly, and churn. Your clients are asking for nearshore talent. Something has to change.
Hiring Locally
A senior engineer costs $150K+ fully loaded. Takes 3 months to fill. And they might leave in a year. Meanwhile, your roadmap slips and your team burns out covering the gap.
Offshore Dev Teams
12-hour time difference. Async-only standups. Code reviews that take two days. Your clients are pushing back on offshore delivery, and rework is impacting your margins.
Agencies and Contractors
They send resumes and disappear. No vetting depth, no retention support, no infrastructure. When someone leaves, you start from scratch.
You need nearshore software development that gives you real-time collaboration, engineering talent on par with your U.S. team, and a partner who keeps the team stable. That's what Amalga delivers.
Our name comes from "amalgamate" because that's what we do: unite U.S. companies and Latin American engineering talent into one codebase, one sprint, one team.
Other providers stop at placement. Amalga handles what makes nearshore engineering sustainable for American clients: recruiting, vetting, onboarding, HR, and retention. You get a team that stays, not a pipeline that churns.
Your engineering managers run the work, and Amalga handles everything that slows teams down: recruiting, payroll, benefits, and retention.
Our leadership team comes from General Electric, Bloomberg, Concentrix, Teleperformance, and Apollo Global Management. We've built engineering teams at scale before. We'll build yours next.

Across industries: Our financial services client went from zero nearshore presence to a 10-person engineering team in 5 months, with plans to scale to 25 engineers this year. Full sprint parity in under 3 months. Across all engagements, our monthly attrition % average is under 2.1% — not the 3-4% industry monthly average.
You've probably weighed nearshore vs. offshore before. Here's what actually changes when you go nearshore with Amalga.

*Results vary by firm. This case study reflects one client's experience.
We don't ask you to change your stack. Your nearshore developers work in your repos, your CI/CD pipeline, and your project management tools from day one.
And many more. Python, Java, .NET, Angular, Vue, Go, PHP, Django, Ruby on Rails, Sanity, Builder.io, Contentful. If your team uses it, we can work in it.

"I'm genuinely shocked by the quality of talent we've secured. Truly impressed to the point that I'm considering a few team members for potential promotion into Tech Lead roles."
"Amalga's stability has translated directly into better client experiences and smoother day-to-day operations."
"Amalga's Mexico playbook took us from strategy to a fully functioning nearshore team in months, not years."
We provide client-managed engineering teams. You direct the priorities and day-to-day work. We recruit, onboard, and support the team so you get stable engineering capacity and continuity. We don't deliver turnkey projects.
Frontend, backend, QA, DevOps/SRE, and tech leads. Either individual roles or cross-functional pods that plug into your existing product org. For larger teams, you get a tech lead for every 5-6 engineers.
Common stacks include JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Node.js, Next.js), Python, Java, C#/.NET, plus cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. DevOps tooling includes Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. We also have experience in working with headless CMS platforms like Sanity, Builder.io, and Contentful.
Teams are aligned to U.S. time zones and screened for strong English and professional communication skills. We set clear working cadences: standups, demos, and written updates that eliminate the friction you'd get with offshore teams. We also administer our own coding tests and we invite you to run your own assessments before hiring a new engineer on the team.
Amalga is ISO 27001 certified. SOC 2 certification is currently underway. You own the code, full stop. NDAs, access controls, and secure environments (VPN/VDI) are standard operating procedures on every engagement.
You get real-time U.S. time zone overlap, stronger English and cultural alignment, faster iteration with less rework, and a lower total cost of ownership because you're not spending half your day managing communication gaps.
We typically present qualified candidates to your hiring dev managers in 10-12 business days after the beginning of our engagement. From there, ramp time depends on your interview process, system access, and internal onboarding. Our financial services client had 10 engineers onboarded in 5 months.
We recruit across Mexico's top talent hubs, especially Monterrey and Mexico City, from universities like Tec de Monterrey, UNAM, and ITAM. Every candidate goes through technical screening, and we can also administer your coding challenges and assessments. In fact we encourage that! You approve every hire before they start.
No minimum. We've launched with individual contributors and scaled to 50+. Most clients start small, prove the model, and grow from there.
You pay a flat monthly rate per team member that covers everything: their fully loaded cost plus Amalga's recruiting, HR, and infrastructure support.
Tell us what you're building. We'll come back with a plan that fits your stack, your timeline, and your budget.
