Scaling a global fintech workforce through LATAM talent.

About our partner

Building a LATAM engineering hub without losing momentum

Remitly needed to expand development capacity by building a strong presence in Latin America — transitioning part of its engineering hub from India to LATAM while maintaining continuity, quality, and delivery speed.

The challenge was layered. It was not only about hiring quickly. It was about finding engineers who could integrate seamlessly into existing teams, meet a high technical bar, and contribute from day one without disrupting ongoing development.

A LATAM engineering build-out grounded in technical fit and fast ramp

Tecla partnered with Remitly to support the build-out of its LATAM engineering team, placing Software Development Engineers focused on backend and application development.

1. Embedded staff augmentation
2. Stack-aligned sourcing
3. Core-systems focus
4. Synchronous time zones

Production code shipped fast. Regional capacity built durably.

More broadly, the partnership allowed Remitly to scale its regional presence efficiently, supporting its global engineering strategy while holding the line on the performance and quality standards a public fintech requires.
