Your go-to partner for high-quality outsourced solutions.
There are hundreds of nearshore development companies. Most offer the same pitch: lower cost, good talent, same time zone. At Cafeto, we've spent 15 years earning something different — a reputation as the partner US tech teams actually want to work with again.
Cafeto was founded in 2010 in Cali, Colombia, with a clear thesis: Latin America produces world-class technology talent, and US companies should have access to it without the friction, risk, and overhead that had historically made outsourcing frustrating.
We opened our US headquarters in Houston, Texas, expanded to Guadalajara, Mexico, and today operate a network of 150+ technology professionals across three countries. We are not a staffing marketplace or a body shop. We are a technology partner with a track record — and clients who have been with us for years.
Every engagement is built on three commitments: quality that matches in-house standards, communication that works in real time, and a long-term relationship oriented around your success.
Every engineer at Cafeto is employed by Cafeto. We do not scrape freelance platforms or present contractors we've never met. Our recruiting team vets every candidate personally — across technical skills, communication, and professional maturity.
Cafeto is a destination employer in the Cali and Guadalajara tech markets. We invest in our people — professional development, career paths, competitive salaries, and a culture that values long-term stability. Engineers who join us stay.
Most nearshore friction doesn't come from technical gaps — it comes from cultural ones. Our engineers have worked embedded in US teams for years. They know how to collaborate, escalate, give feedback, and operate in the communication norms of American technology companies.
We handle employment, compliance, payroll, benefits, and talent continuity — so you never have to manage the operational complexity of a distributed team. You focus on product. We handle the rest.
Staff augmentation, custom development, managed support, or a full BOT engineering center — we structure the engagement around your goals, not around a fixed service menu.
We don't optimize for short-term placements. Our business model depends on clients who stay — and they do. Our average client relationship spans multiple years. We build for retention, not just activation.
