Building an AI governance company with distributed LATAM engineering.
AI Governance / Enterprise SaaS
Senior Software Engineers
LATAM → US
“For a company defining a category in real time, the operational lift of cross-border hiring matters as much as the talent itself.”
Background
About our partner
Credo AI is an AI governance platform helping enterprises adopt artificial intelligence responsibly, safely, and in line with emerging regulation.
The company sits at the center of one of the most consequential conversations in technology today, equipping legal, risk, compliance, and engineering teams with the tooling they need to govern AI systems at scale.
Challenge
Scaling engineering without compromising the bar
Credo AI needed to bring on multiple engineers in a compressed timeframe to support continued product development. The challenge was not simply volume.
As an early-stage company building infrastructure that enterprises rely on for AI risk and compliance, every hire carried weight.
Approach
A structured pipeline of senior LATAM engineering talent
Tecla partnered with Credo AI to source and place multiple engineers within a matter of weeks — working as an extension of their internal hiring team rather than a transactional vendor.
- Structured hiring process
- Tight feedback loops
- Pre-vetted senior talent
- Embedded engagement model
Outcome
Engineering capacity built quickly, without sacrificing quality.
Credo AI successfully scaled its engineering team within the timeline it needed, bringing in multiple senior engineers who were ready to contribute from day one.
Beyond the headcount, the partnership delivered a hiring experience that was smooth, collaborative, and well-managed end to end. The Credo AI team kept their focus on product velocity and customer outcomes while Tecla handled sourcing, vetting, and the administrative load of hiring across borders.
