Nearshore software development
What we can build for you
Overlapping working hours
Our workday overlaps with the US and Canada, so meetings and answers happen during your day.
English-speaking team
A bilingual Spanish and English team that talks, writes and documents in English.
A short flight away
Santo Domingo is a few hours' flight from the US East Coast, so visits are easy to plan.
Cultural fit
Close cultural ties with North America and direct, clear communication in every meeting.
Senior engineers
The engineers who scope your project are the same ones who build it.
A company, not freelancers
Your developers work for Ciguabit, a registered company, so you get continuity and backup.
Why Ciguabit
A technical partner, not just a vendor
A software company registered in the Dominican Republic, working with businesses across the Americas and Europe.
You own everything
Source code, infrastructure accounts and documentation are yours from day one. No lock-in, no hostage situations.
Senior engineering
The people who scope your project are the people who build it. Nothing gets handed down to a junior bench.
Bilingual delivery
We work in Spanish and English, across Dominican and North American time zones, with documentation in both.
We answer after launch
Support and maintenance are part of the agreement, not an extra cost you discover when something breaks.
