Local headcount is slow and expensive
An open senior role competes with big tech on salary and takes months to close. The roadmap keeps moving while the seat stays empty.
Senior engineering · Brazil · UTC−3
Senior engineers who work your hours.
Your working hours go into the briefing and become a search criterion before we look for anyone. From briefing to a diagnosis of what you need: 48 hours. From briefing to 3 pre-vetted profiles: 7 days. From briefing to a developer working on your team: 15 days — with continuous follow-up after that. 12 years of operation, more than 1,500 mapped developers, clients in Brazil, the United States and Canada.

// the problem
You already know how this goes wrong.
Offshore already disappointed
Someone covering your afternoon from the middle of their night, English that does not hold up in a design discussion, and a new face every quarter. The team stops asking and starts working around it.
Contracting abroad is risk you own
Worker classification, payment mechanics, IP assignment — and when something breaks, no company on the other side to answer for it.
// what we do
PureCode answers all three: pre-vetted seniors, selected for your hours, under one contract.
// how it works
From briefing to a developer on your team, in 15 days.
Four steps with a deadline on each one, and continuous follow-up once the developer is in. No inflated agency layer, no endless sequence of calls before anyone shows you a CV.
30-minute briefing
Stack, seniority, timeline — and the working hours you need covered, which becomes a search criterion, not an afterthought.
SLA · same day
Briefing diagnosed
We come back with our reading of what you need: seniority, stack, the hours to cover and what the search will prioritise.
SLA · 48 hours
First 3 pre-vetted profiles
We filter the pool of more than 1,500 mapped developers — sanitized CVs, English level, stack and availability, all assessed before you see them. You interview directly and choose; no profile is imposed.
SLA · 7 days
Hire closed, developer on your team
Contract and onboarding run in parallel. After they join: continuous follow-up, and replacement guaranteed for as long as the contract runs, at no additional cost.

// why brazil
Why does nearshore from Brazil work when offshore did not?
Five answers, each one checkable. If any of them does not hold for your case, it is better to find that out on this page than three months in.
The developer works your hours
Your hours go into the briefing as a search criterion before we look for anyone. What geography decides is not whether that happens — it is whether the person can keep it up. Brazil is UTC−3 all year, so covering a 9-to-6 Eastern day means working 11:00 to 20:00 here: a normal day, on the late side. Five hours further east, in Lisbon, the identical commitment is 14:00 to 23:00 — an evening shift, every day, and an unsustainable shift is what turnover is made of. For Pacific hours we search specifically among developers who take that schedule, and we say so upfront if we cannot fill it.
English is assessed before you meet anyone
Technical skill, English and soft skills are assessed before a profile ever reaches you — you are not handed raw candidates to qualify. Then you interview and judge the English for yourself. No profile is imposed, and telling us to look again costs you nothing.
One contract, not vendor sprawl
You contract PureCode. PureCode contracts and manages the developers under Brazilian law. There is no individual relationship for you to hold, pay or administer, and no set of freelance agreements accumulating in your legal team's inbox.
You own the IP
The code is always the client's. The assignment is closed at both links of the chain — in our contract with you and in our contracts with the professionals — so there is no step where ownership sits with us or with an individual developer. An NDA is part of every international contract, and we sign yours.
Compared to hiring locally
A local senior hire means competing on salary with companies that will outbid you, months of pipeline, and the full cost of getting it wrong. Allocation puts a pre-vetted senior on your team in 15 days, and if that person is wrong you swap them — for the life of the contract, with no cap. We do not publish a savings percentage — we have no audited number to back one, and you can price your own alternative better than we can.
// why purecode
What do you get that a marketplace does not give you?
Real pre-vetting
Technical skill, English and soft skills assessed before the profile reaches you. You only see people who already cleared the filter.
Guaranteed replacement
If the developer does not work out, we replace them — for the entire contract, with no cap on swaps and no additional cost. The replacement enters on the same ladder as the original: diagnosis in 48 hours, 3 pre-vetted profiles in 7 days, on your team in 15 days. We earn on the allocation continuing, not on the recruiting, so a bad match costs us before it costs you.
Senior means method, not tenure
Senior here is someone who runs an engineering method with AI — assisted specification, review and testing, with the developer answering for the code. In practice a smaller team covers the scope that used to need more people.
A company on the other side
One contract, one counterparty, one invoice. Contracting, payment and management of the professionals stay with us — you manage the work.

USA
US product company
One contract, no individual relationships to administer.
// where we work
Four verticals, with actual depth.
In each one we have senior engineers active today and working knowledge of the standards and compliance the industry runs on.
Healthcare
Healthtech, medical platforms and EHR integrations. LGPD, HIPAA-ready, enterprise compliance.
Fintech
Payments, banking, financial infrastructure. Developers with a PCI-DSS and Brazilian Central Bank regulation background.
Agtech
Systems for digital agribusiness, agricultural supply chain and field telemetry. Real IoT, not a slide.
Edtech
Educational platforms and content delivery at scale. LTI 1.3, SCORM, xAPI.
// full product delivery
Need the whole product, not one developer?
PureCode also builds end to end. The way in is not a fixed proposal written in the dark — it is a short paid discovery.
A short paid discovery
A paid technical assessment that defines scope, architecture and estimate before any build commitment. Small, with a fixed price and a fixed date.
You leave with material, not a promise
At the end you hold the scope, the architecture decisions and a per-stage estimate. Continuing the build with us is your call; the material is yours either way.
Less risk on both sides
You are not buying a project in the dark and we are not estimating in the dark. Scope defined before the build is what prevents the overrun after it.
