Ideaware is a nearshore developer staffing company founded in 2010 in Barranquilla, Colombia, and part of Revelo since May 2026. We place vetted senior software developers from Latin America with US teams: candidates in 48 hours, 40–60% below US hiring costs, working US time zones, with a 90-day replacement guarantee.
800+ developers placed with 150+ US teams. 1,300+ pre-vetted senior developers in the pipeline, and we accept the top 3% of applicants. More about Ideaware.





Elite developers from Latin America cost 40-60% less than US equivalents without sacrificing quality. You eliminate the hidden costs of traditional hiring: $30k+ per hire, weeks of sourcing, and constant turnover. Our nearshore model gives you enterprise-level talent at startup-friendly prices. Plus, transparent pricing means no surprise bills or hourly rate creep.
Meet fully-vetted candidates within 8-12 days, not months. We handle sourcing, screening, and technical vetting so you only interview the best matches. Your new developer is onboarded and coding within 2-4 weeks total. No more pipeline anxiety or missed deadlines while waiting for the "perfect" hire.
Work in real-time with teams just 1-3 hours from US time zones. Daily standups, code reviews, and sprint planning happen during your business hours—no midnight calls or async delays. Latin American nearshore teams enable the collaboration velocity of in-house teams. Offshore's 12-hour gap kills momentum; nearshore keeps it flowing.
We pre-screen thousands of developers and accept only the top 3%. Every candidate passes technical assessments, English fluency tests, and cultural fit evaluations before you ever see them. You get senior-level engineers with startup experience and modern stack expertise. Skip the resume lottery and interview only A-players.
Our developers don't just use AI tools—they build, deploy, and scale them. Latin America has become a training ground for engineers fluent in LLMs, ML pipelines, and AI product development. You're hiring innovation partners, not just code executors. Get ahead with teams that turn AI from buzzword to business value.
Every placement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee: if the fit isn't right, we replace the developer at no additional cost. We handle all contracts, payroll, and compliance from day one. You focus on building; we handle the logistics and guarantees.
Easily scale your team up or down based on project needs and runway. Need to add three developers for a product sprint? We can staff that in weeks. Our flexible engagement model grows with you—from single developers to full cross-functional pods. No long-term lock-ins or scaling penalties.
Get more than developers: we provide PMs, designers, and QA specialists for complete product teams. Each team comes with an account manager who handles retention, performance, and growth planning. We're not a staffing agency; we're your extended product organization. Your team stays happy, productive, and engaged long-term.
All our developers are English-fluent and experienced working with US companies. Communication is clear, nuanced, and startup-savvy—not just technically proficient. We test for cultural fluency, not just language skills. Daily collaboration feels seamless, like they're sitting in your office.
We follow enterprise-grade security protocols including NDA coverage, secure access controls, and IP protection. All developers sign comprehensive confidentiality agreements before touching your codebase. We're SOC 2 compliant and use industry-standard practices for data protection. Your code, your secrets—always protected.
Over 800 developers placed with US companies in the past 12 years. Our retention rate is 2x the industry average because we invest in culture and growth. Read case studies from startups like Bucket who scaled fast with our teams. We've helped hundreds of CTOs go from hiring chaos to product velocity.
Our developers specialize in React, Node.js, Python, Go, AWS, and emerging AI frameworks. They're fluent in agile methodologies, CI/CD practices, and distributed team workflows. Whether you're building web apps, mobile products, or ML platforms, we match you with the right expertise. No retraining required—they're ready to ship from day one.
Our teams stay an average of 3+ years because we invest in community, growth, and work-life balance. We handle career development, team support, and cultural integration so they don't burn out. Lower churn means more product knowledge retained and fewer onboarding cycles. Happy developers ship better code—and stick around to maintain it.
Our dedicated HR and recruiting team is always available to support you and your team. From onboarding to conflict resolution, benefits management to performance reviews—we handle it all. You get white-glove service without building an internal HR department. Your focus stays on product; we handle the people operations that keep teams thriving.
We've been placing elite Latin American developers with US companies since 2010. We've survived market crashes, hiring booms, remote work transformations, and now the AI revolution. Our battle-tested processes and institutional knowledge mean you benefit from 15 years of learning what actually works. We're not a startup experiment—we're a proven partner with a track record you can trust.
Get a complete AI product team—engineers, ML specialists, product managers—ready to start within weeks. Our AI Pods handle everything from ideation and prototyping to production deployment and monitoring. They're not just developers; they're AI-native product teams with expertise in LLMs, vector databases, RAG architectures, and AI product strategy. Ship AI features without building AI expertise from scratch.
Our AI Pods don't just prototype—they take AI concepts from research to production-ready systems. They handle model evaluation, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, infrastructure setup, monitoring, and iteration cycles. You get teams that understand both the AI research side and the engineering rigor needed for production. Turn AI experiments into reliable business features that scale.
