A bit about us​

Howdy was created in 2018 to enable access to US opportunities to candidates in South America.

Talented developers are everywhere but the best opportunities are focused in only a few select cities in the US.

Howdy is here to bridge the gap and bring you Silicon Valley opportunities and support you along the way.

Mission and purpose

Silicon Valley companies don’t outsource their engineering culture by working with the traditional outsourcing model (and they definitely don’t build world-class product teams with an army of freelancers…). That is why our platform helps the best US product companies build their own teams in South America: we have a people-centered business model. Our whole ethos is developer first.

Engineering mentors from the very start

Our Engineering Mentors are at the core of our business.
They focus on the well-being of the developer from onboarding to creating a longterm career growth plan. They flatten the learning curve of a new role for the developer and help our teammates navigate the relationship with their partner.

Meet the team

Our community of senior level developers take on challenging roles. The community supports each other and allows developers to learn and grow with each other.
