What does a software consultancy do?
A software consultancy designs, builds and runs software for its clients. Clouditive does this with LATAM engineers, working in English, Spanish or Portuguese, in four blocks: build (custom software, web applications, portals and product design), operate and scale (platform, DevOps, SRE, QA), AI, and team (staff augmentation, forward deployed engineers, a fractional CTO or an architect). You buy hours at published rates by seniority, or fixed-price packages.
We build the software your team can't staff in time, and we run it: pipelines, platforms, tests, observability and AI features.
Two ways to hire
By the hour
Add engineers to your team through staff augmentation, from USD 30 an hour (Junior) to USD 55–60 (Lead or Architect). You interview the engineer who will do the work; the minimum term is 6 months.

- JuniorUSD30per hour

Fixed scope
