For Ruben Ribeiro, VP of Engineering
Vietnam and Indonesia already prove your team can ship without everyone in one room. The open question isn't whether distributed works for Orange Logic, it clearly does, it's whether your next 15 engineering hires sit on a team eight time zones away or one that overlaps your actual working hours.
Your current offshore overlap
Vietnam / Indonesia to US working hours. Standups happen async, or someone's on a call at midnight.
A LatAm pod's overlap
Most of the US workday, live. Same standups, same sprint ceremonies, no async tax on every decision.
Why this, why now
Most companies we talk to are still deciding if offshore hiring is safe. Orange Logic decided that years ago. This isn't a "should we" conversation, it's a "which time zone" one.
That volume of open roles, filled entirely through US or APAC-hours hiring, means every new engineer ramps into a schedule with limited live overlap with the core team. A LatAm pod removes that constraint for a subset of the roles.
We run the recruiting and pod setup directly, senior ICs who ship on your actual stack, not a body-shop hand-off. That's a different model than what "nearshoring" usually means.
No deck, no generic pitch, we'd walk through which of your open seats would actually work as a LatAm-pod hire versus which need to stay US-based.
