Nearshore software development gives you experienced engineers who work in your hours. They join your stand-ups, answer questions the same day and ship against your backlog — without the overnight handoffs that slow offshore teams down.
We provide nearshore engineers in three ways: individual engineers embedded in your team, dedicated squads with their own lead, or complete project delivery for a defined scope.
Because we are a software development company first, our nearshore engineers come from delivery teams that have shipped production systems, including in healthcare and financial services.
Work our engineering teams have delivered
Our nearshore engineers come from the same delivery teams behind our case studies. A few examples of what those teams have shipped:
Connected car companion app
A connected car companion app for iOS and Android, built in collaboration with Toyota's product teams, connected-services engineers and external vendors.

NFL Premium streaming app
A streaming app engineered for millions of concurrent logins, coordinated with the client's product managers, designers and vendors against live production timelines.

AI development for Rakuten Institute of Technology
Machine learning for sales forecasting and buyer segmentation, refined iteratively against live data with the client's teams.

Dedicated development teams
A complete squad with a lead that owns a product area end to end.
Nearshore project delivery
End-to-end delivery of a defined scope, from discovery to launch.
Technical leadership
Architects and fractional CTOs who guide your roadmap and team.
Regulated-industry teams
Engineers who have worked under HIPAA, PCI DSS and audit expectations.
Knowledge transfer
Documentation, pairing and handover so capability stays with you.
Typical nearshore software development engagements
Roadmap outrunning hiring
Add senior capacity now instead of waiting months to hire.
A product area without a team
A dedicated squad that owns a feature set or platform.
Replacing a slow offshore setup
Move to a team that works in your hours and joins your rituals.
Specialist skills
Mobile, ML, DevOps or security expertise for a defined period.
New product build
A complete nearshore team to take a product from idea to launch.
Regulated projects
Engineers already familiar with healthcare and financial compliance.
Real overlap
Shared working hours mean same-day decisions and fewer blocked tickets.
Delivery DNA
Engineers come from project teams and think in outcomes, not tickets.
You choose every person
Shortlists, your interviews, no forced allocations.
Flexible models
Move between embedded engineers, a squad or full delivery as needs change.
Continuity handled
We manage employment, retention and cover so gaps don't hit your roadmap.
Clear ownership
Your repositories, your tools, your code.
How to choose a nearshore development company
Nearshore software development works when the overlap, the people and the terms are right. Use these questions with any nearshore development company, including us.
Nearshore, offshore or onshore?
Onshore teams share your location and cost the most. Offshore teams can cost less but often work while you sleep, which slows feedback. Nearshore teams sit a few time zones away, so they can join your stand-ups, reviews and incident calls in your working day. Our nearshore software development guide compares the three models in detail.
Check the real time-zone overlap
Ask exactly which of your working hours the team will share, and whether that overlap holds year-round. A few hours of shared time each day is what makes same-day decisions possible.
- Which hours will the team be online in our time zone?
- Who joins our ceremonies, and who is the day-to-day contact?
- How are urgent issues handled outside the overlap?
Pick the engagement model
Embedded engineers join your team and follow your lead. A dedicated development team is a complete squad with its own lead that owns an area of your product. Full project delivery gives the partner end-to-end responsibility for a defined scope. Choose based on how much engineering leadership you already have.
Interview the people, not the brochure
You should meet and interview the engineers who will work on your product, review examples of their work and agree how replacements are handled if someone leaves.
Protect your code and data
Agree in writing that you own the code and work product, how access to your systems is controlled and which security and privacy requirements apply — especially in healthcare and financial services, where contracts such as a Business Associate Agreement may be needed.

What is nearshore software development?
Working with software engineers based a few time zones from your team, so you share a large part of the working day. It combines lower cost than fully local hiring with real-time collaboration that offshore teams often can't offer.
What does a nearshore development company provide?
Engineers and teams who work on your software — as individuals embedded in your team, as a dedicated squad with its own lead, or as full project delivery — while the company handles employment, retention and continuity.
How much time-zone overlap will we get?
Typically 4–6 hours of shared working time each day, agreed before the engagement starts.
How quickly can a nearshore team start?
First candidates are usually ready in about a week, depending on the roles. You interview them before anyone starts.
Is nearshore the same as staff augmentation?
Not exactly. Staff augmentation is one way to use nearshore engineers. You can also have a dedicated nearshore team or hand us full delivery of a project.
Who owns the code?
You do. The team works in your repositories and tools, and all work product belongs to your company.
What is the minimum engagement?
Typically three months for embedded engineers, which is what it takes for a senior engineer to fully pay off. Project engagements follow the agreed scope.
