Hire Developers

Hiring developers through CodigoDelSur means adding senior engineers, employed by us, either to the team you already run or as a team we assemble and coordinate around your product. An engineer already on our bench can start as soon as the next business day after the agreement is signed, and five business days is the standard. All of them work 10:00 to 19:00 Uruguay time, which covers the full US East Coast day, five to six hours with the West Coast and an afternoon overlap with Europe.
CodigoDelSur has been building software from Montevideo, Uruguay since 2007, for companies in the United States and the rest of the world.

Each technology below has its own page, with what our engineers do in it, the client projects behind it and when hiring for it is the wrong move. This page holds what stays the same on all six.

Six technologies, each with its own page

Pick the technology your product is built in. Each page names the client projects behind it, so you can check the claim before you call.

We also staff Flutter, .NET, Java, Go, Ruby on Rails, QA and cloud roles, and product designers. They do not have a page of their own yet: each page here is built on published case studies, and we would rather wait for them than write one without.

What is the same on every page

Five terms that do not change with the technology. They describe how the company works, so every page states them the same way.
Two ways to hire. Engineers added to the team you already run, or a team we assemble and coordinate around your product. A CodigoDelSur project manager is included in both, at no extra cost.
One to five business days to start. Five business days from signed agreement to first day is the standard, and as soon as the next business day when the engineer is already on our bench. What varies is finding the right person, and we tell you which case you are in on the first call.
Your working day. Every engineer works 10:00 to 19:00 Uruguay time, UTC minus 3: the full US East Coast day, five to six hours with the West Coast and an afternoon overlap with Europe.
Replacement at our cost. If someone is not working out, we replace them. The outgoing and incoming engineers overlap for ten business days, and those days are not billed.
Everything is yours. Code, designs, data and documentation are assigned to you as they are created. The shortest engagement is two weeks, one sprint, and the minimum project size is $10,000.

Staff augmentation or a dedicated team

Staff augmentation when you already run the team and are short on hands; a dedicated team when you want the whole group staffed and coordinated as one. The technology pages work the same with either.

With staff augmentation, our engineers report to your engineering manager and work in your sprints and your repositories. With a dedicated team, we shape the team around your product, staff every role and coordinate it on our side. If you need neither, because what you want is a product built from nothing with one company accountable for it, that is full-cycle product development, quoted per project.

Frequently asked questions

Which developers can I hire through CodigoDelSur?

React, React Native, Node.js, iOS, Android and Python developers, each with a page that names the projects behind it. We also staff Flutter, .NET, Java, Go, Ruby on Rails, QA and cloud roles, and product designers.

Are the developers freelancers?

No. Everyone we place is a CodigoDelSur employee, which is why the same engineer can stay on your team for years. Seniority runs from mid level to tech lead, and we do not place junior engineers in these roles.

What time zone do your engineers work in, and how much overlap will I get?

Our engineers work 10:00 to 19:00 Uruguay time, which is UTC minus 3. That covers the entire US East Coast working day, five to six hours of live overlap with the West Coast, and an afternoon overlap with Europe. The schedule is set that way deliberately: shifting the day an hour later widens the Pacific overlap without asking anyone to work nights, and it is the reason this arrangement is still working in month twelve rather than quietly falling apart in month three.

How fast can you actually start?

Five business days from signed agreement to first day is the standard, and if the engineer is already on our bench and your side is ready to receive them, they can start as soon as the next business day. What varies is finding the right person, not starting them: if the profile is on our bench you get CVs one business day after you sign off the role brief, and if the role has to be recruited, first CVs take about five business days. We tell you which of the two you are in on the first call, before you have signed anything, because that is what actually moves your start date.

What happens if the engineer is not working out?

You tell your account manager and we replace the person at our cost. There is no charge for the search and no penalty for asking. The outgoing and incoming engineers overlap for ten business days so that context, access and work in progress transfer inside the engagement instead of landing back on your team, and those ten days are not billed: during the handover you keep paying exactly what you were paying for one engineer. We would rather absorb that than have you carry a bad fit for a quarter, and a company that will not put a replacement policy in writing is telling you something.

Tell us which developer you need

Tell us which technology your product runs on and when you need someone, and on the same call you will know whether that engineer is on our bench today or has to be recruited.
