Sound familiar?
-
The roadmap is slipping and the req has been open for months.
-
You've tried offshore: midnight calls, missed context, rework.
-
You've lost weeks interviewing people who never should have made the list.
Great developers shouldn't take six months to find.
You keep the decision. We bring you people to meet.
We know adding someone to an existing team takes more than a skills list. We've been embedding Latin American developers in US teams for over 10 years. You interview candidates directly and choose who joins, and if someone isn't the right fit, we replace them.
Founded by two tech executives
We used to buy this help. So we built the partner we wanted.
-
Rick Little CTO & co-founder
Spent his career as a tech executive hiring outsourcing partners and contract developers, then built the one he wanted.
-
Jhovanny CEO & co-founder
Runs Mahisoft's operations, and personally interviews every developer before they reach a client's shortlist.
Your next developer in three steps
-
Book a 15-minute call and sign a no-commitment agreement.
A simple agreement that sets the terms for when a developer starts and doesn't commit you to buying anything.
-
Interview a shortlist worth your time.
3–5 developers within 48 hours of signing; you interview them directly.
-
Choose who joins.
Pick the developer who meets your bar, and they join your tools and your standups for your full US workday. A full-stack developer can be working for you within 72 hours; we'll confirm timing for other roles on the call.

Stop letting hiring set your roadmap
Every month short-handed is a missed release and a more burned-out team. With the right developer, the roadmap moves again and the new person feels like part of the team, not a vendor.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can someone start?
You get 3–5 profiles within 48 hours of signing our no-commitment agreement. A full-stack developer can be working for you within 72 hours; we confirm timing for other roles on the call.
Do I have to commit to anything?
No. Our framework agreement doesn't commit you to buying anything. It only sets the terms for when a developer starts working with you.
How does billing work?
Your developer works as an hourly contractor embedded in your team. No long-term contracts.
Will you swap in a junior developer later?
No. The developer you interview is the one who does the work. If they're not the right fit, we replace them with someone you interview first.
Can I interview candidates?
Yes. You interview them directly, and you decide who joins.
What if a developer isn't the right fit?
We replace them.
Who owns the code?
You do. With our contract developers, 100% of the IP belongs to you.
Do your developers use AI tools?
Only as your policy allows. Our developers follow your AI usage policy, whether your team is AI-augmented or doesn't allow AI at all.
What about time zones?
Our developers are in South and Central America, so they work your full US workday, not a 2-hour overlap.
Will communication be a problem?
Every developer is English-proficient and works in your tools: your Slack, your Jira, your standups.
How are developers vetted?
Every candidate passes a technical challenge, a technical panel, and a final interview with Jhovanny, our CEO, all in English, and we confirm they can start on your timeline before you meet them. Only the top 3% of applicants make it.

Typically 30–40% less than a comparable US hire.
