Silicon Development Verified Company

You have probably hired external engineers before - or you have heard enough about how it goes to be careful about it. Communication gaps, engineers who need constant direction, and people who pass a technical screen but slow your team down once they start.

Silicon Development was built around fixing that specific problem. We place software, data, DevOps, and AI engineers from Latin America into US product teams. Not as contractors you manage separately, but as embedded members of your existing team. Same tools, same meetings, same workflow. You manage the work, not the vendor relationship.

Where we differ from most staffing firms is what we actually vet. Technical ability matters, obviously. But we also evaluate English communication in real working scenarios, how someone reasons through problems when the answer is not obvious, and - the part most firms ignore - where they can integrate into an existing team's rhythm without creating management overhead. An engineer who writes good code but skips your review process, or who needs to be chased for updates, is not saving you time. We screen for that before you ever see a profile.

That standard applies to every engagement. But we have spent most of our time working with teams in healthcare, financial services, legal technology, and biopharma environments governed by HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, or FDA 21 CFR. We operate within those frameworks as a company, not just as a talking point. Our engineers are vetted to work inside those constraints and our own processes. How we handle data, manage access, and run engagements are built to meet the same requirements our clients are held to. Working in those environments for years has made our vetting and operations sharper across the board, even for those teams without regulatory requirements.

The process is straightforward. You tell us what you need: role, stack, and how your team works. We match engineers to that, not the other way around. We pre-vet the engineers and send you only the top-qualified people. The person you approve joins your team. We handle: contracts, payroll, and ongoing support. One invoice, one point of management contact.
