Nearshore software development is the practice of outsourcing development work to a team in a nearby country — typically in the same or overlapping time zone. Moddtech is a Mexican software company serving U.S. clients with nearshore teams that speak English, work U.S. business hours, and deliver at nearshore pricing.
Who it's for
U.S. companies frustrated by offshore teams in distant time zones, startups wanting experienced engineers without Bay Area salaries, and enterprises looking to scale development capacity without hiring full-time.
  • Work in the same time zone as your team
  • Communicate fluently in English with cultural alignment
  • Access senior engineers at nearshore pricing
  • Scale up or down without full-time hiring
  • Partner with a team that thinks like yours
Process

How it works, step by step

01
Scoping Call
30-minute call to understand your team, project, and engagement preferences. Outcome: tailored proposal and team profiles.
02
Team Matching
Engineers selected based on your technology stack, domain, and team culture. You interview candidates before commitment.
03
Onboarding
Integration into your tools (Slack, Jira, Git), codebase introductions, and workflow alignment. Most teams are productive in the first week.
04
Active Delivery
Daily standups, sprint planning, code reviews. Direct communication between your engineers and ours — no project manager middleman.
05
Reviews & Scaling
Monthly check-ins to ensure fit and productivity. Add or remove engineers with 30-day notice.

FAQ

Questions we hear most often.

Don't see what you're looking for? Ask us directly — bilingual response within one business day.

Where is your team based?

Our primary development team is in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico — same time zone as Phoenix, overlapping U.S. business hours across every time zone. Our project management and client-facing team is split between Hermosillo and Portland, Oregon.

What languages and technologies do you cover?

Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte. Backend: Node.js, Python, Java, C#, PHP. Mobile: Flutter, React Native, Swift, Kotlin. Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, MySQL. Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP.

How do engagement models work?

Three models: staff augmentation (dedicated engineers embedded in your team), project-based (fixed scope, fixed price), and retainer (ongoing development capacity). We recommend based on your situation.

Are your engineers fluent in English?

Yes. Every client-facing engineer operates in English. Many are bilingual and can work bilingually with Spanish-speaking stakeholders or end users.

How do you handle code quality?

Code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and documented coding standards are default. We pair senior engineers with junior developers to maintain quality while keeping costs reasonable.

What about intellectual property?

You own 100% of the code we write. All engagements include NDAs and work-for-hire clauses. Code is delivered in your Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) throughout development — not held hostage at the end.

Nearshore vs offshore

Offshore development — typically India, Eastern Europe, or Southeast Asia — offers the lowest hourly rates but comes with 10-12 hour time differences, cultural gaps, and communication friction. Nearshore from Mexico keeps pricing advantages while solving those problems.

Same time zone, real-time collaboration

Hermosillo is on Mountain Time (no daylight saving), meaning overlap with every U.S. time zone throughout the business day. Morning standup? Easy. Same-day code review turnaround? Standard. Our engineers work when yours do.

Cultural and linguistic alignment

Our team grew up watching U.S. TV, reading U.S. tech blogs, and shipping code to U.S. companies. Cultural gaps that plague offshore relationships are minimal. English communication is fluent — not transactional.

Senior-quality engineering at nearshore pricing

Mexican tech salaries run significantly below U.S. market rates for equivalent experience. Combined with time-zone alignment and cultural fit, that's the nearshore value: senior engineering quality at prices U.S. startups and mid-market companies can actually afford.
