OUR STORY

15+ Years Building Engineering Teams

Zak Elmeghni

I started my career writing code, solving hard problems and building systems that improved people's lives. But over time, I noticed something broken – not in the tech, but in the hiring. Companies needed developers fast, but the process was slow, expensive, and full of bad fits.

The breakthrough came when I discovered LATAM talent. The quality was exceptional. The work ethic was strong. The time zones aligned perfectly. Yet most companies were missing out because they were stuck with flaky freelancers, bloated dev shops, or didn't know how to navigate nearshore hiring properly.

That awareness led to Next Idea Tech. We're not a dev shop or a staffing agency. We're your remote hiring partner – connecting U.S. companies with reliable LATAM engineering talent without the usual headaches.

We focus on fit, clarity, and performance. Our developers work in U.S. time zones with strong English skills. We stay involved post-hire to make sure things are working. We build trust through transparency – with both clients and talent.

We work with businesses seeking high-quality, budget-friendly talent who treat their people with respect and dignity, regardless of location. Because nearshore doesn't mean second-tier – LATAM talent can outperform when integrated properly.

Our Philosophy

"We vet for more than code. We look for thinkers, not just doers. Good hiring is about people, not just pipelines."

FAQ

Your Guide to Hiring Nearshore Latin American Developers

Hire AI Developers

An AI developer specializes in building systems that learn, adapt, and make decisions going beyond traditional application development. While full stack engineers focus on delivering user-facing features and backend logic, AI developers design and implement algorithms, models, and data pipelines that power intelligent behavior in software. They work at the intersection of software engineering, data science, and machine learning.

Fast and Reliable Hiring

We don't waste time on repeat interviews or a myriad of coding tests. The focus is on finding qualified AI developers quicker than with traditional recruiting.

Cost-Effective AI Hiring

AI developers design and train models to perform tasks like natural language understanding, image recognition, recommendation systems, and predictive analytics. This enables businesses to automate complex processes, uncover patterns in data, and deliver personalized user experiences at scale.
Unlike full stack engineers, who build and maintain web or mobile applications end-to-end, AI developers focus on data preparation, model selection, training, and optimization. They also integrate these models into production systems so applications can make real-time decisions.
Real-world applications include building chatbots that handle thousands of customer service requests daily, fraud detection systems that flag suspicious transactions in milliseconds, and AI-powered search engines that understand intent instead of just matching keywords.
With Next Idea Tech's Nearshore Software Development Services, you can hire pre-vetted AI developers skilled in frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and LangChain. Our talent has experience in deploying AI solutions for industries such as healthcare, finance, retail, and SaaS—delivering measurable ROI while reducing development costs compared to US-based hires.
