Your data team is ready. Right now.

Talented, English-speaking data professionals

Costa Rica isn't just another nearshore destination—it's Latin America's tech powerhouse. Our data engineers come from the country's top universities and leading technology companies, with proven experience at multinational corporations and high-growth startups. They're not just bilingual; they're bicultural, understanding both the technical requirements and business context that drive successful US data initiatives. Every engineer we bring onto your projects has hands-on experience with enterprise-scale data challenges: petabyte-scale processing, real-time analytics, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical system migrations. They've built the infrastructure that powers e-commerce giants, optimized the pipelines that drive financial trading systems, and architected the data lakes that fuel AI innovations. When you work with NSDC, you're not getting junior developers learning on your dime—you're accessing senior-level expertise that's been battle-tested in production environments.

AI-Enhanced Delivery with Future-Ready Talent

While AI is transforming data engineering workflows, we believe it amplifies human expertise rather than replacing it. Our senior engineers leverage cutting-edge AI tools to accelerate development, automate routine tasks, and explore solutions faster—but every AI-generated output undergoes rigorous human review, testing, and validation. No "vibe coding" here. To maximize this efficiency and invest in the industry's future, we pair each senior engineer with carefully selected junior developers from Costa Rica's top universities—at no additional cost to you. These rising talents handle research, documentation, testing support, and code review under senior supervision, effectively giving you expanded capacity while we nurture the next generation of data engineering expertise. The result: faster delivery, higher quality output, and the satisfaction of knowing your projects are helping build Costa Rica's tech talent pipeline for tomorrow's challenges.

Flexible Engagement Models

Whether you need a dedicated team member for ongoing development or specialized expertise for a critical project, NSDC adapts to your needs. Our dedicated team model provides you with consistent, full-time equivalent resources who become deeply integrated with your systems and business objectives—think of them as your remote data engineering department. For companies with specific initiatives or defined deliverables, our project-based approach delivers complete solutions with clear scopes, timelines, and success metrics. Need to supplement your existing team during peak periods or bring in specialized skills for complex migrations? Our staff augmentation model provides the exact expertise you need, when you need it, without the overhead of expanding your permanent headcount. Unlike traditional consulting firms that shuffle resources between clients, we maintain dedicated relationships that allow our engineers to truly understand your data ecosystem and business requirements.

Latest & greatest

From bleeding-edge to old-school

The data engineering landscape evolves rapidly, and new tools emerge constantly. If your project requires expertise we don't currently have in-house, we can recruit a specialist with that specific knowledge or rapidly upskill our existing engineers who have the foundations to master new technologies quickly. Our team's strength lies not just in knowing today's tools, but in their ability to adapt and learn for tomorrow's data challenges. Plus, our experts can draw on each other's knowledge to solve your toughest problems.
