Frequently Asked Questions
From direct hires to full-cycle recruitment, we handle every aspect of hiring nearshore engineers: screening, compliance, and ongoing support.
What is a dedicated development team and how does it work?
A dedicated development team is a group of remote dedicated developers working exclusively on your long-term projects. You define the team composition based on your needs and maintain full control over priorities and workflow. They function as an extension of your in-house team, following your product roadmap and integrating into your systems. Many companies choose to hire dedicated team members this way specifically because it removes the overhead of building an in-house recruiting pipeline.
How much does it cost to hire a dedicated software development team in Latin America?
Latin American software development teams offer significant cost efficiency. Senior developers cost 60-88K annually versus 130-185K in the US, delivering ~50% savings with genuinely senior talent. Compared to other outsourcing locations, LATAM combines cost efficiency with timezone alignment and cultural fit.
What roles can I hire for my dedicated development team?
You can build complete teams across all technical disciplines: software engineers, project management, UI/UX designers, DevOps, QA specialists. Whether your technology stack requires SaaS, Mobile, or AI development, we cover 100+ roles across any programming language your custom software requires.
What types of software projects can dedicated teams from Latin America handle?
Dedicated teams from LatAm handle diverse projects including insurance software, digital banking platforms, mobile market applications, and access control systems. From MVP development to scaling products for mature markets, they bring expertise across industries. Whether building for product expansion, updating legacy software or creating custom solutions, LatAm engineers deliver production-ready software.
How does Lupa ensure quality when building dedicated teams?
Every engagement starts with a discovery session to understand your requirements, culture, and goals. Our candidate screening includes personal interviews that go beyond resumes to assess technical depth, judgment, and cultural fit. You receive 3-4 curated matches, not resume floods.
What's the difference between dedicated teams and offshore teams?
Dedicated LatAm teams work in your time zone for real-time collaboration, unlike offshore teams requiring overnight handoffs. This alignment drives an 87% customer satisfaction rate for LatAm versus 53% for Asia. Same-day problem solving instead of 24-hour wait times, without the communication delays that derail projects.
Who owns the intellectual property rights when I hire a dedicated team?
You own all intellectual property rights. Engineers you hire become your employees working on your software product. All code and deliverables belong to your company, documented in employment contracts and Statement of Work. This differs from agencies where IP ownership can be unclear.
How do I get started with Lupa?
It starts with a discovery call where we learn about your business, team structure, and hiring goals. We use that conversation to design a search strategy tailored to your specific needs. No generic pitches, just focused discussion about what success looks like for your team.
How does Lupa handle resource planning for growing teams?
We help you think ahead. During intake, we discuss your roadmap and project milestones to anticipate hiring needs before they become urgent. This resource planning approach means you're building capacity proactively, not scrambling to backfill when deadlines hit.
Can I scale my dedicated team up or down over time?
Yes. Dedicated teams flex with your needs. As you move from MVP to scaling products, we help you add specialized roles or expand capacity. If priorities shift, you can adjust team size. The model is built for companies whose hiring needs evolve.
