Scale your team with senior developers in Mexico + Texas
Nearshore software development for US companies: same US time zone (CST), USMCA, bilingual engineers, and a US legal entity in Texas — staff augmentation and dedicated teams onboarded in weeks, not months. Read the complete nearshore guide or explore staff augmentation.
Nearshore software development: common questions
What is nearshore software development?
Hiring software engineers in a nearby country in your same time zone, so work happens in real time — unlike offshore (Asia), where a 10-12 hour gap forces overnight handoffs. iTech delivers nearshore from Mexico on US Central Time, contracted through a Texas entity.
How much does a nearshore developer cost?
A senior nearshore engineer typically costs a fraction of a comparable US in-house hire, with no recruiting, benefits or overhead — you only pay for the engineer's time, billed monthly.
Is the code and IP mine?
Yes. The code, repository and access are 100% yours from the first commit, contracted through a US entity under US law. No vendor lock-in.
How fast can I start?
Typically days, not months — we match vetted senior engineers from an existing bench instead of running a full recruiting cycle.
Nearshore vs offshore: what is the real difference?
Time zone and communication. Nearshore (Mexico, CST) overlaps your full workday; offshore (Asia) does not. That overlap is what makes daily standups, demos and quick decisions possible.
