For more than 15 years, AgilityFeat has helped companies build software across Latin America. As AI reshapes how products are built, we created something new: Builder Pods. These are small, senior, AI-native nearshore squads designed for startups, product teams, and innovation projects that need to move fast without cutting corners.
What Is a Builder Pod?
A Builder Pod is a dedicated nearshore squad of 2 senior engineers plus up to 4 on-call specialists, available at a flat rate of $4,500 per week. Each pod arrives as a pre-formed unit with shared workflows already in place, so there is no ramp-up time and no assembling a team from scratch. You get experienced engineers using the best AI coding tools available, with human judgment driving every decision.
Builder Pods are ideal for new product launches, MVPs, proofs of concept, and skunkworks projects where you need speed and engineering judgment in equal measure. They are not designed for maintaining large legacy codebases where deep institutional knowledge matters more than velocity.
Inside a Builder Pod
Each pod is a pre-formed squad with proven workflows already in place, so you get experienced engineers using the best AI coding tools available with human judgment driving every decision.
- 2 Core Builders. Full-time senior engineers with real product backgrounds who have shipped software at scale. They work exclusively on your project, operate in US time zones from Latin America, and use AI-native development workflows to move faster than a traditional team.
- 2 to 4 Specialist Support. DevOps, infrastructure, UX design, QA automation, Voice AI, and WebRTC specialists who step in part time when the work demands it. You get the right expertise at the right time without paying for bench time.
- Stable Pod Identity. The same squad moves from project to project together. Their spec-driven processes are already in place, so familiarity translates directly into speed for your project.
- Flexible Contracts. Start with two weeks prepaid to hold your spot, then extend week by week with no long-term commitment. When the build is done, an optional maintenance retainer keeps your product covered.
Why Experienced Engineers Still Matter in the Age of AI
AI tools can write code faster than ever. But the hardest parts of building software: defining the right product, making architectural decisions that hold up at scale, and translating a fuzzy idea into something users actually want, still require experienced engineers with judgment and accountability.
Builder Pods are built around this reality. Every Core Builder brings a product mindset alongside engineering depth, meaning they challenge requirements, define scope, and ship what your users need rather than just what was written in a ticket.
Three Pods, Each With Different Strengths
AgilityFeat currently offers three named squads, each with published availability, named engineers, and specific areas of expertise.
- Pod Atlas focuses on MVPs, workflow-heavy B2B applications, and AI-enabled products, with deep experience in React, TypeScript, Rails, and Node.js.
- Pod Pulse is built for real-time systems, live data applications, and compliance-sensitive products in areas like telehealth and fintech, with strength in React, Node.js, C#/.NET, and real-time communication platforms.
- Pod Nova specializes in Voice AI, agent-based experiences, and products that combine AI with real-time interaction, with expertise in LiveKit, WebRTC, LLMs, and AI/ML integration.
How to Get Started
There is no lengthy procurement process. Browse the available pods, reserve your spot with two weeks prepaid, and your squad kicks off right away with daily standups and real product decisions from week one. Extend week by week for as long as the pod is available, or wrap up and move into a maintenance agreement when the build is complete.
