We deploy, seniorAI-enhanced engineers, fast.
Recruiting is a bottleneck. While staffing agencies deliver resumes, we deliver velocity that protects your IP and runway. Our AI-enhanced engineers adapt perfectly to your coding guidelines, documentation, and development processes from Day 1.

One size fits none
Bench roulette
Staffing agencies rotate whoever's available. You never know who you're actually getting, or if they'll still be there next sprint.
Slow, expensive ramp
A US hiring pipeline takes weeks to months and costs more than double our fully-loaded rate, before the engineer writes a line of code.
No one owns the outcome
Staffing rents you hours. Nobody on the other end is accountable for what actually ships.
Built around your codebase, your workflows, your team
Taking your ideas to products
Three steps, no long-term lock-in
Step 1
Trial Pod
- · Senior engineer, full-time, 2 weeks

$7,000 /month per engineer
A dedicated senior engineer embedded in your product on an ongoing basis, at a fraction of a US hire's fully-loaded cost.

- ✓ Month-to-month, no long-term lock-in
Frequently asked questions
Something else. Alta Marea is a software studio: you get senior engineers embedded in your product as a pod, not a name pulled off a staffing bench. We own the outcome, not just the headcount.
It stays entirely yours. Every engagement starts with a signed NDA and IP assignment, so all code and data we touch is your property from day one: never shared, resold, or used to train external models. Access is scoped to your own systems and revoked the moment an engagement ends, so you're always in control.
If it's a fit, you move to the ongoing Senior Engineer tier at $7,000/month per engineer, month-to-month, no long-term lock-in. If it's not a fit, you walk away with whatever shipped in those two weeks.
A dedicated senior engineer, full-time, embedded in your codebase, with no recruiting, onboarding, or benefits administration on your side.
Both. Nearshore Engineering Pods are our ongoing, embedded model, and New Feature Development, QA & Testing, and Debugging & Troubleshooting cover scoped, one-off engineering needs. Every engagement is staffed with the same senior-only bar.
