The Story

‍Ferdinand Hingerl, CTO at Ambyint, faced a critical hiring crisis during the pandemic when salaries skyrocketed and competition from giants like Microsoft and Spotify made domestic hiring nearly impossible. Instead of overextending his budget or settling for less, he turned to Revelo to rethink his approach through nearshoring. By tapping into Latin America, Ambyint built a high-impact team that didn't just fill gaps but became core to their technical mission.

The Vision/Challenge

‍Ambyint found itself in a bidding war it couldn't win against hyperscalers with bottomless pockets. Ferdinand’s challenge was to find senior, production-ready engineers who could integrate into Ambyint’s complex engineering culture without the unsustainable costs of the US market. He needed a solution that offered more than just temporary contractors; he needed long-term, senior talent that acted as a core extension of his team.

The Revelo Partnership

‍Ambyint utilized Revelo to pivot from a domestic-only search to a nearshore strategy, building a powerhouse squad across Brazil and Mexico. By accessing Revelo’s network of 400,000+ vetted engineers, Ferdinand secured elite talent that is time-zone aligned and fully integrated into Ambyint’s workflow. While these engineers drive high-level technical outcomes, Revelo manages the payroll and compliance through a single dashboard, allowing Ferdinand to focus on scaling the business rather than navigating international bureaucracy.

In Their Words

"We couldn't compete with the salaries tech giants were offering, but with Revelo, we didn't have to. We found senior engineers who are now core contributors to our success, not just extra hands."
