Choosing a talent market as a partner wound down

As Pipe Tech approached the end of a major engagement with its development partner in Ukraine, the company began evaluating new options for scaling its engineering team.

Drawn to LATAM's overlapping time zones and strong English communication, and exploring the region for the first time, Pipe Tech needed a trusted partner to identify qualified engineers while minimizing hiring risk.

Tecla partnered with Pipe Tech to help evaluate and build a nearshore engineering team in Latin America, working closely with leadership throughout.

1. Fit beyond the resume
2. Embedded engineers

A first LATAM team established, with velocity intact.

Pipe Tech successfully established its first engineering team in Latin America and gained confidence in nearshore hiring as a long-term growth strategy.

The engineers integrated quickly and began contributing across the infrastructure management platform, expanding development capacity while benefiting from stronger time zone alignment and day-to-day collaboration with the US-based team.
