Software development team augmentation and managed staffing across Latin America
Powdevs staffs distributed development teams and individual contributors for US-based companies, operating out of Phoenix with hiring footprint across Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Guatemala. The tech stack skews heavily toward testing infrastructure (Cypress, Jenkins, custom test harnesses) and cloud deployment (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform), with active projects focused on CI/CD pipelines and test automation—suggesting their delivery teams are built around quality assurance and infrastructure maturity rather than greenfield product work.
Notable leadership hires: QA Lead
Powdevs is a nearshore staffing firm founded in 2019 that supplies dedicated software developers and fully-managed development teams to clients in the United States. They operate across three service lines: team augmentation (adding developers to existing projects), fully-managed teams (end-to-end managed by their project managers), and app development (full-cycle collaboration). The company is 11–50 people, headquartered in Phoenix, and sources developers from seven countries across Latin America and the US. Current pain points center on test coverage gaps, release quality cadence, and scaling both a payments platform and website lead generation efforts.
Testing and DevOps-heavy: Cypress, Jenkins, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS (Lambda, SNS), Jira, Git. Also frontend (React, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML/CSS), backend (PHP, Python, MySQL), and design (Figma).
Primarily test automation and CI/CD infrastructure: custom test harnesses, automated test frameworks (unit/system/integration/performance), CI/CD pipeline improvements, cloud-based test deployment, plus WordPress front-end builds and custom plugin development.
