Our Mission

About AllCoda

We believe engineers do better work when they have time to understand a product and see it grow. AllCoda connects senior talent in Latin America with companies looking for that kind of long-term collaboration.

Why We Built AllCoda
Our Approach

Why We Built It This Way

Finding someone who can write code is only part of building an engineering team. The harder part is finding people who understand the product, make sound technical decisions, and stay involved as it changes.

Agency rotations work against that. An engineer leaves for another account, and the team loses the knowledge built over months of work. Hiring a replacement does not bring that knowledge back.

We built AllCoda to give those working relationships time to develop. We recruit for each client’s role, assess candidates before introducing them, and never rotate engineers between accounts.

AllCoda engineers take part in the work beyond individual tickets. They contribute to planning, question assumptions, review code, and help improve the product after release.

The true cost of churn goes beyond recruitment fees. It includes the institutional knowledge that leaves and the months spent bringing someone new up to speed.

That's why AllCoda engineers are dedicated to one client and never reassigned.

What We Look For in an Engineer

Four-stage assessment

We look for engineers who can explain their decisions, work through unfamiliar problems, and give useful feedback. Every candidate completes four stages of vetting before you meet them. Fewer than 5% of applicants are accepted.

1. Technical screen

A live coding session in their primary stack. We focus on how they think and solve problems, not whether they can pass a memorized algorithmic puzzle.

2. System design

For senior candidates, we run an architecture discussion relevant to the type of system they'd be working on. We want engineers who can own a service and reason about tradeoffs, not just implement specs.

3. Code review

We send a real PR and ask them to critique it. Communication clarity, quality instincts, and how they handle disagreement all show up here.

4. Communication and remote assessment

English proficiency, assessed in writing and conversation. How they explain decisions. How they handle blockers. Whether they've genuinely worked on distributed teams with US companies.
