Nearshore software development and QA for financial services and telecom
Tecnova is a Chilean nearshore development shop with 200+ engineers serving mid-to-large companies across the Americas, anchored in financial services and telecom. The tech stack spans legacy (Oracle, Java, .NET) and modern (Node.js, React, Python, AWS), with heavy investment in QA tooling (Selenium, Xray, SonarQube, Appium) — a signature of an outsourced services model where testing rigor is a core differentiator. Hiring velocity is accelerating with mid-level engineers driving active projects in payments infrastructure and AI-adjacent work (chatbots, text/image processing), suggesting client demand for technical depth beyond body-shopping.
Tecnova was founded in 2000 and operates from Santiago with offices in the US, serving telecommunications, finance, and insurance verticals. The company offers three service lines: custom software development, quality assurance, and staff augmentation. Current workstreams include building payment gateways, merchant onboarding flows, and emerging AI capabilities (chatbot implementation, predictive analytics). The team operates under agile methodologies and holds relevant certifications in their target verticals. Hiring is concentrated in Colombia and Chile, with mid-level engineers forming the core of new hires.
Tecnova uses Node.js, Python, React, Java, .NET, Oracle, and AWS for development; Jira, Xray, Selenium, SonarQube, and Appium for testing; and Figma, Visual Studio, and Git for workflow. The stack spans legacy enterprise (Oracle, .NET Framework, SQL Server) and cloud-native (AWS, TypeScript, React).
Tecnova is headquartered in Santiago, Region Metropolitana, Chile, with additional offices in the United States. The company was founded in 2000 and is privately held.
Active projects include payment gateway construction, merchant onboarding design, payment checkout flows, chatbot implementation, and text/image processing and predictive analytics work. Most focus customer-facing infrastructure and emerging AI capabilities.
