Ideaware

We provide nearshore staff augmentation services, building product teams for US startups, founders, and product companies. Since 2010, we’ve connected clients with pre-vetted developers and AI teams from Latin America.

We hire for roles like Frontend, Backend, Mobile, AI & ML Developers, UX/UI Designers, QA & DevOps Engineers, and Product & Project Managers. We also offer AI Pods – complete AI product teams that handle ideation, prototyping, deployment, and monitoring using technologies like LLMs, vector databases, and RAG architectures. Additionally, we develop MVPs, focusing on investor-ready products and achieving product-market fit.

Our hiring process sources and onboards top talent within days; typically, we provide a 48-hour candidate shortlist, and you can hire in 8-12 days. We manage contracts, payroll, and compliance, and offer a 30-day risk-free trial. Our model can cut hiring and payroll costs by up to 40-60% compared to US equivalents. We select developers from the top 3% of talent. They are English-fluent, experienced in modern tech stacks (React, Node.js, Python, Go, AWS), and use AI tools daily for automation. Our teams work within 1-3 hours of US time zones.

We’ve placed over 800 developers with US companies and helped more than 50 teams ship over 250 products. Our security includes NDA coverage, secure access controls, IP protection, and SOC 2 compliance. We work with clients in SaaS, Healthtech, Fintech, and EdTech.

Our mission is to bridge continents through technology, creating partnerships with US startups and scaleups. Our core values include:

• Culture First
• Outcomes First
• Transparent
• Proactive
• Purpose
• Committed
• Learn

We prioritize close collaboration, continuous improvement, and building products that users love. Our work culture emphasizes clear expectations, autonomy, and support, aiming to avoid performative tasks like daily status reports or unnecessary meetings.

Ideaware has 51-200 employees, made up of product builders from Design, Development, and AI Strategy backgrounds. The team integrates nearshore developers into client workflows, matching client time zones and culture.

The company’s culture promotes close collaboration and continuous improvement. Ideaware reports an employee retention rate twice the industry average, with teams staying over three years on average. This is attributed to investments in community, growth, and work-life balance.

For its own employees, Ideaware offers a fully remote work environment with flexible locations. Employees work directly with US startups on projects in fintech, healthcare, and AI-powered SaaS. Ideaware encourages internal career growth and uses modern tech stacks. The culture values real projects, professional treatment, and results, avoiding micromanagement.

We offer fully remote work flexibility. Our employees receive PTO and other perks, which can vary by client. We provide competitive salaries, paid in USD.
