We work with you to define each role and find engineers who meet your standards. Teros handles payroll, compliance, and local support while your team leads direction, priorities, and performance.
Employer-of-record platforms provide useful infrastructure, but your team still needs to choose the country, employment model, compensation, and benefits—then source candidates and operate the process.
Traditional agencies can take on more of that work, but they often retain ownership of the team, operating model, and day-to-day relationship.
Teros brings those needs together: you build and lead the team, and we provide the playbook and local operations that support it.
Practical defaults help your team move forward with confidence.
Employment structure, compensation benchmarks, equity treatment, holidays, ramp-up, and performance cycles all require thoughtful decisions. We bring defaults refined across our portfolio, then adapt them with you to fit your team.
A Series B customer scoped a senior backend role on Monday. By Friday, we had benchmarked compensation against its US band, agreed on the contracting structure, and scheduled onboarding—so the team could focus on two candidates instead of evaluating five operating frameworks.
We source, vet, and shortlist; your team makes the hiring decision.
Together, we select the right engagement model—full-time, fractional, or embedded directly into your squads. Our default is full-time engineers who become lasting members of the team, with an average tenure of 3–5 years.
Engineers hired through us in 2021 are still on those teams. They join the same standups, contribute to the same repositories, and review code alongside US colleagues. They report to your engineering leads while Teros supports payroll and employment behind the scenes.
We're physically present in the Río de la Plata — Buenos Aires and Montevideo.
You gain US business-hour overlap, access to a deep engineering talent pool, and a local team that can support onboarding, retention, and employment needs personally.
When a senior engineer in Buenos Aires had a visa question, our local operations lead met with them that afternoon. When a Montevideo hire needed equipment on day one, it was delivered to their door. That direct support is part of how we work.
We meet with your engineering leaders to understand the team and align on level, compensation, and engagement model.
We source from our regional network and vet against your standards. Your team chooses whom to interview.
Once you choose a candidate, we coordinate contracts, payroll, equity treatment, equipment, and compliance.
With the offer confirmed, contracts signed, and equipment ready, the engineer can start contributing to your team.
Argentina and Uruguay share US business hours and have strong communities of engineers experienced with the technologies growing teams use every day.
Our local presence helps us support onboarding, retention, equipment, payroll, and other employment needs promptly and personally.
“We started working with Teros during a critical phase of growth and they've consistently delivered. The engineers are thoughtful, pragmatic, and operate with real ownership. They ramp fast and contribute meaningfully. Teros is not a vendor for us — they are a core part of Honeyjar.”
“Teros has been a strong partner as we've scaled our engineering organization. The team brings senior-level judgment, moves quickly, and integrates seamlessly. They care about architecture, security, and long-term maintainability — not just shipping fast. It's rare to find a partner that feels like an extension of your team this quickly.”
“Teros helped us add senior engineering capacity quickly and responsibly. The team ramped fast, operated with ownership, and raised the technical bar. Highly recommend.”
“As we scaled engineering, we needed experienced contributors who could operate with autonomy and sound judgment. Teros delivered exactly that. Their team is senior, reliable, and aligned with outcomes. They think long-term while still moving fast.”
