In the fast-paced and highly regulated world of financial technology, speed, precision, and compliance are everything.
FinTech companies today must ship secure, scalable products quickly, often with limited internal capacity and mounting pressure from stakeholders.
At Oceans Code Experts, we specialize in helping U.S.-based companies overcome exactly this kind of challenge through our nearshore staff augmentation services. By tapping into elite tech talent across Latin America, we help teams move faster, scale smarter, and stay lean.
Here’s how we helped a U.S. FinTech company rapidly scale its engineering capacity and successfully launch a mission-critical product—while building the foundation for long-term collaboration.
The Challenge: Scaling Fast with Zero Margin for Error
Our client, a digital trading platform based in the U.S., was preparing to launch a new financial product central to their next phase of growth. It had to be secure, compliant, and production-ready, and it had to ship fast.
The problem? Their internal engineering team was already at capacity. Recruiting in the U.S. was too slow and expensive. They needed expert developers who could integrate seamlessly, contribute immediately, and deliver high-impact results without missing a beat.
That’s where Oceans Code Experts came in.
The Nearshore Advantage: Senior LATAM Developers, On-Demand
At Oceans, we provide high-performing, English-fluent software developers, QA engineers, and DevOps talent from across Latin America. Our teams work in the same time zones as U.S. companies, making collaboration frictionless. Unlike traditional offshore providers, we prioritize technical rigor, cultural fit, and embedded workflows that feel like true extensions of your in-house team.
For this FinTech client, we deployed a tailored team of senior engineers with deep experience in:
- Backend technologies (.NET, Java, SQL Server)
- Frontend development (React, JavaScript)
- Cloud infrastructure (Azure, Infrastructure as Code)
- Automated QA (Mabl, Cypress, Testim)
- Security and compliance (SSO, financial-grade architecture)
Each consultant was handpicked to match the client’s tech stack and project needs.
The Process: Seamless Integration, Real-Time Delivery
Our approach to nearshore staff augmentation is simple but powerful: deliver senior talent that plugs directly into your workflows and starts adding value from day one.
From the start, our engineers embedded themselves into the client’s agile environment. Using shared standups, Jira boards, Slack channels, and Git workflows, our team operated as if they were sitting in the same office; despite being in Colombia, Argentina, and Costa Rica.
Over the course of the engagement, Oceans developers made major contributions, including:
- Designing and building new product features from the ground up
- Enhancing the infrastructure-as-code layer to support scale and reliability
- Implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication to meet enterprise security standards
- Migrating from a single to a shared database architecture, enabling cleaner data separation across business units
- Automating testing workflows using Cypress and Mabl to increase test coverage and deployment confidence
The collaboration was driven by clear communication loops, shared KPIs, and a laser focus on delivery.
The Outcome: A Successful Launch and a Trusted Partnership
Thanks to the combined effort of our client and our LATAM team, the new product launched on schedule, with performance, security, and compliance benchmarks fully met. More importantly, the partnership led to long-term trust.
Following the launch, the client extended the engagement into a new initiative focused on regulatory compliance for digital stock trading. This showed not only satisfaction with the outcome but also confidence in Oceans’ ability to lead future high-stakes projects.
Why LATAM Developers Are the Secret Weapon for FinTech Growth
FinTech companies operate in a unique environment; combining the speed of tech startups with the regulatory demands of the financial sector.
To scale effectively, they need engineers who are not just technically sharp, but also experienced in compliance, data security, and scalable architecture.
That’s exactly what Latin America’s tech talent brings to the table.
At Oceans Code Experts, we work with some of the region’s top 3% of engineers, developers who’ve worked on banking platforms, payment processors, trading systems, and enterprise SaaS products.
Here’s why U.S. companies love working with LATAM teams through Oceans:
✅ Same time zone: No more late-night meetings or async delays.
✅ Senior-level expertise: Our candidates average 6–10 years of experience.
✅ Faster ramp-up: We deliver vetted engineers in under 2 weeks.
✅ Cost-effective: Reduce engineering costs by up to 50% without compromising quality.
✅ Low attrition: Our retention rates beat industry averages—your knowledge stays in-house.
Nearshore Staff Augmentation vs. Traditional Outsourcing
Traditional outsourcing often comes with communication issues time zone friction, and variable code quality. Nearshore staff augmentation flips that model.
At Oceans Code Experts, our teams are designed to act as full-time teammates, not external vendors. We focus on:
- Real-time collaboration
- High-bar technical vetting
- Long-term continuity
- Cultural alignment
- Security and compliance readiness
Our clients don’t “outsource.” They scale with us.
Is Nearshore Staff Augmentation Right for Your Team?
If your company is:
- Struggling to hire U.S.-based engineers fast enough
- Looking to launch a new product, feature, or platform
- Facing tight deadlines and regulatory pressure
- Trying to reduce burn rate while maintaining technical excellence
- Seeking flexible, scalable engineering capacity
…then nearshore staff augmentation may be the best solution.
With Oceans, you gain access to senior developers and technical talent who are ready to contribute immediately—without the overhead of recruiting, onboarding, and managing full-time hires.
The FinTech client we supported isn’t unique—many U.S. companies face the same scaling challenges, and we’re here to help. Whether you need one engineer or an entire squad, Oceans Code Experts makes it simple to scale your team with confidence.
