Nir-Yu specializes in helping Small and Medium Enterprises unlock the potential of their business. Our typical customer is worried about not being able to make enough progress on their product(s) or project(s) with their current team; they need additional team-members to deliver work on-time and with the required quality. Tight budgets also make it necessary to lower average wage costs, making it necessary to consider hiring internationally to lower costs. We help these companies by providing a bespoke service that finds and hires remote workers from Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and other countries in LatAm based on the company’s specific job descriptions to work as an extension of their team and perform the required functions. Unlike many other companies, we don’t have a bench of contractors to be hired out, instead each team is hired specifically to meet specific requirements and to work exclusively as a remote employee.
Design and build scalable, secure, and reliable backend systems to power our SaaS platform. You’ll lead the implementation of core APIs, data pipelines, and system integrations across insurance and financial domains.
