We Work With The Best

Revvity, a Fortune 1000 company, trusts EX Squared to develop and support multiple software applications and manage on-site implementations for global clients.

“EX Squared will find the best developers and effectively manage them so you meet your project schedules on time and budget.” – Sr. Vice President, Engineering, Product, & Cloud Services

You’ve Done the Staffing Thing. We’re Not That.

Forget the endless churn of contractors and rotating “resources.”

Let’s get this out of the way: You’ve done the staffing thing. You’ve tried the plug-and-play devs who ghost mid-sprint. The vendor who promised senior AI talent and delivered interns reading ChatGPT prompts off Reddit. The project that went over budget and underdelivered. The timezone overlaps that turned your standups into midnight marathons.

EX Squared LATAM isn’t that. We’re not here to toss bodies into your Slack and hope they stick.

We embed top nearshore talent, especially in AI, data, and emerging tech, into your team.

People who actually care, know their craft, and stick around to deliver.

We build dedicated, full-time teams across LATAM that work like your team, because they are your team.

Think of us less like a vendor and more like a talent engine fueled by precision, speed, and strategy.

Need an AI developer yesterday?Need leadership roles filled yesterday? Want to spin up a pod of senior devs, QA engineers, or cloud architects before your next release cycle? Sick of managing payroll, compliance, and performance from across 5 time zones?

Good. That’s what we do.
