Nearshore delivery teams
Dedicated Squads / Staff Augmentation
Senior, nearshore squads that plug into your roadmap and ship — data engineers, AI developers, BI specialists, and designers in US-aligned time zones.
Outcomes
What this gets you
A dedicated squad is a stable, senior nearshore team that plugs into your roadmap and ships alongside your people. OneSolution America staffs squads from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, working US-aligned hours.
- Scale delivery without a 6-month hiring cycle
- Work with senior engineers in your time zone, not overnight
- Keep continuity and IP with a stable, dedicated team
- The roadmap is funded, but hiring will take six months you don’t have
- You need senior specialists — not a bench of juniors learning on your budget
- Offshore burned you: overnight handoffs, churn, and quality surprises
- Headcount is frozen, but delivery expectations aren’t

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask us before an engagement — answered straight. Anything we missed? Ask us directly.
How fast can a squad start?
Typically 2–4 weeks from scoping to first sprint — we staff from an existing bench of senior specialists rather than recruiting to order. Compare that with the six months a US senior data hire usually takes.
What roles can you staff?
Data engineers, AI and ML developers, BI specialists, .NET and React engineers, product designers, QA, and fractional data or AI leadership. Squads are cross-functional by default; individual specialists are available for augmentation.
How do time zones actually work with a Brazilian team?
Brazil runs within one to two hours of US Eastern time year-round. Your squad joins stand-ups, planning, and incident calls live — real-time collaboration, not the overnight relay race offshore usually means.
What about IP, security, and contracts?
You contract with OneSolution America in the US, under US law. Everything the squad produces is yours — code in your repositories, work in your cloud, NDAs and access controls set up before the first sprint.
Staff augmentation or a dedicated squad — which do we need?
Augmentation adds individual specialists into your existing team and process — best when you own delivery and just need capacity. A dedicated squad is a cross-functional team that owns an outcome end to end. If you’re not sure, we’ll scope both options in the first conversation.
