What does Clouditive do?
We're a nearshore software development company in St Petersburg, Florida. LATAM engineers build web apps, mobile apps, portals and MVPs, and do AI engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, QA and forward deployed engineering for teams in the US and Latin America, by the hour or as fixed-price packages. Mat Caniglia leads every project.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. A senior team builds the iOS and Android app together with its web and backend, at the published rates. Autonomah's mobile app, built by Clouditive, is our proof, and Discovery settles native or cross-platform for yours.
What does it cost, and what if the scope changes?
USD 30 to 60 an hour by seniority: Lead or Architect 55–60, Senior 45–50, Mid 35–40, Junior 30. Swapping a backlog item for one of the same size costs nothing extra. New scope is quoted at the published rate before we start it, and defects against what we agreed, found within 30 days of delivery, are fixed at no cost.
Will the engineer I interview be the one who works?
Yes. Mat (Matías) Caniglia interviews every engineer first, then you interview the one who will do the work. If that engineer leaves or doesn't fit, we replace them and cover the handover at no cost. You choose who directs them day to day: your team, or Clouditive. We have access to more than 100 different profiles, available in under two weeks, and we present candidates within 5 business days.
Who owns the code, the accounts and the IP?
You do, from day one. Our engineers work in your repo and your cloud accounts, with your SSO and MFA, and lose access when they leave the project. We sign an NDA before the call if you ask, and we work under an MSA and a SOW.
How do we start, and is there a minimum term?
Book a 30-min call or send your request, and we reply within 1 business day. You can start with a fixed-price package (the Cloud Cost Review is USD 2,500 for 1 week, and the 2-week ones start at USD 4,000). Or start with Discovery: USD 7,000 for 1 to 4 weeks, ending with a roadmap you can price. Work that comes out of a Cloud Cost Review, an AI pilot or Discovery can be implemented with the 2-week packages, with no minimum. The 6-month minimum applies to staff augmentation, which is billed per hour worked, and to the fractional CTO.
Which time zone and language do you work in?
Our engineers work between UTC−3 and UTC−5: at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern and Central time, 2 with US Pacific and 6 to 8 with Mexico City. Meetings and delivery are 100% in English or Spanish, whichever your team uses. In writing we also work in Portuguese: the website, proposals, contracts and email.
Who are your clients, and can I talk to one?
Yes. Before you sign, we connect you with references. Hernán Massad, development lead at MPI (a client), and Marina Perla, CEO of MojoTrek (a partner), have both agreed to take a call from a prospective client. Our published cases cover a fintech SaaS platform, a US transportation services company, a US consultancy, a GovTech coordination portal, a PropTech housing platform, an AI marketing platform and an online RPG. Each one is on the Work page.
Is Clouditive a registered company?
Yes. Clouditive has worked since 2024, and DX Clouditive LLC was incorporated in Florida in April 2026 (document L26000219015). We invoice in USD, monthly in arrears, net 15, by bank transfer. Our founder, Mat Caniglia, has more than 18 years in platform engineering, DevOps and SRE.
