Nearshore AI Staff Augmentation: Senior AI Engineers in Your Time Zone
Nearshore staff augmentation for AI teams, without the six-month specialized technical recruiting bottleneck. Add senior, AI-native software engineers from Latin America with full-stack, DevOps, MLOps, and data engineering depth, working in your time zone and productive in your codebase from day one, not week six.
Eliminate the six-month specialized technical recruiting bottleneck
Hiring senior ML engineers, MLOps specialists, or AI infrastructure experts through standard recruiting takes four to six months at minimum, often longer for niche skills. Pento's AI Team Augmentation places vetted, AI-native software engineers directly into your team. They work inside your codebase and CI/CD pipelines, join sprint ceremonies, and ship within the first week. With engineers based in Latin America, nearshore AI development with Pento means real-time overlap with US teams, not overnight handoffs.
Complete software engineers who specialize in AI
Every Pento engineer is vetted as a software engineer first, never only a model builder: modern web development standards, fast and reliable production code, and real DevOps, MLOps, and data engineering depth. Deep software fundamentals are what make an engineer genuinely good in their niche. So the same specialist who builds your models also ships through your CI/CD pipelines, holds their own in code review, and ramps in days instead of the weeks that usually stall augmentation engagements.
