We Help American Companies Go Global.

The best engineering talent isn't all in one place. Howdy helps US companies build high-performing teams across the Western Hemisphere, supported by offices in major cities across Latin America (LatAm).

Here's a look at the industries we work with:

Banking, finance, and fintech

Financial services move fast with zero margin for error. Compliance requirements shift, fraud patterns evolve, and infrastructure downtime carries consequences. Companies in this space need engineers who understand regulated environments and the full stack behind them.

Howdy helps financial institutions and fintech companies hire across roles, including backend and platform engineering, data engineering and analytics, and risk and fraud systems.

Case study: Fintech company Earnest partnered with Howdy to build an engineering team in Guadalajara, creating a seamless extension of its US team while reducing costs by 15–20%.

Biotech and healthcare

Healthcare engineering is its own discipline. HIPAA compliance, sensitive patient data, and deeply interconnected systems require developers with experience in regulated environments. Speed matters, but so does getting it right.

Howdy connects biotech and healthcare organizations with engineers experienced in software engineering, data engineering, machine learning, and beyond.

Case study: Digital pharmacy platform Fuze Health partnered with Howdy to rapidly scale its engineering team, onboarding developers three times faster and increasing engineering output by 25% while reducing hiring costs by 50%.

Construction and real estate

Property tech has gotten serious. Modern real estate platforms handle everything from search and project management to complex data workflows. The engineering teams behind these systems need to move as fast as the market does.

Howdy helps construction and real estate companies hire across software engineering, platform and backend development, data engineering and analytics, DevOps and infrastructure, and product and design.

Case study: Real estate technology company OJO partnered with Howdy to expand its engineering team with experienced LatAm developers. The new hires quickly integrated with OJO's US team, earned trust, and delivered results.

Cybersecurity

The threat landscape evolves constantly. Cybersecurity companies need devs who can build secure infrastructure at scale while staying ahead of emerging threats.

Howdy helps cybersecurity companies hire across software engineering, platform and backend development, infrastructure and DevOps, data engineering, and security-focused product development.

Case study: Cybersecurity platform JupiterOne partnered with Howdy to scale its engineering team with high-performing developers. Howdy devs integrated fast, maintained quality, and helped accelerate product development.

Government and education

Public sector and education organizations run large, long-lived systems where stability and careful coordination matter as much as technical skill. Clear communication across time zones is part of the job.

Howdy helps these teams hire for software development, data engineering and analytics, IT operations, and platform support.

Manufacturing

The factory floor is going digital. From connected equipment to supply chain platforms, manufacturers increasingly depend on software teams to keep operations running and modernizing.

Howdy helps manufacturers hire across software engineering, backend and platform development, data engineering and analytics, mobile and web development, and DevOps and infrastructure.

Case study: National Carwash Solutions (NCS) partnered with Howdy to expand its development team with experienced LatAm engineers, keeping pace with growing digital demands while integrating with its US team.

Media and entertainment

Media companies are running some of the most technically demanding consumer products out there. These organizations need engineering teams built to keep up.

Howdy helps media companies hire across software engineering, frontend and backend development, data engineering and analytics, DevOps and infrastructure, and product and design.

Case study: Live music and event management platform Prism.fm partnered with Howdy to build an integrated engineering team with LatAm developers who quickly became core contributors to the company's platform.

Oil, gas, and energy

Energy companies manage massive infrastructure and workforces distributed across remote locations. The software holding all of that together must be reliable.

Howdy helps energy companies hire across software engineering, data engineering and analytics, AI and machine learning, DevOps and infrastructure, and platform development.

Case study: Workforce management platform RigUp partnered with Howdy to build a high-performing LatAm engineering team, maintaining strong collaboration and low turnover throughout.

Read the RigUp case study.

Retail and e-commerce

Customer experience is the product. Retail and e-commerce companies depend on platforms that perform and support teams that show up when something goes wrong.

Howdy helps retail and e-commerce companies hire across software engineering, data and analytics, customer support and operations, product and design, and DevOps and infrastructure.

Case study: Subscription brand Nano Home partnered with Howdy to build a customer support team that delivered a white-glove experience for its HVAC filter subscription service while improving customer retention.

Read the Nano Home case study.

Software and IT

Software companies scale fast. Engineering teams that can keep pace separate companies that ship from those that stall.

Howdy helps software companies hire across full-stack engineering, backend and platform development, data engineering and analytics, DevOps and infrastructure, and product and design.

Case study: Niche BMS partnered with Howdy to expand its engineering team with LatAm developers who built a complex energy data API from scratch while working closely with US-based product teams.

Read the Niche BMS case study.

Telecommunications

Telecom infrastructure runs at a scale most engineering teams never touch. The platforms supporting it — customer-facing or internal — require reliability.

Howdy helps telecom companies hire for network platform development, infrastructure engineering, data engineering, and DevOps and systems operations.

Transportation and logistics

Coordinating fleets, routes, warehouses, and supply chains requires software that holds up. Logistics companies need engineers who understand operational complexity and can build scalable systems.

Howdy helps logistics organizations hire across platform engineering, data engineering and analytics, operations software development, and infrastructure and DevOps.
