FromUSD 2,500Cloud Cost Review, 1 week
- Platform engineering
If your developers wait on tickets for environments, pipelines and access, an internal developer platform lets them serve themselves. We build it on your stack, connect the services you choose and add views such as the service catalog and deploy status. IDP Foundations is USD 5,000, 2 weeks, fixed price.
IDP Foundations · USD 5,000 · 2 weeks
- DevOps
Your team ships, but nothing between the merge and your customers can say no to a bad release. We build the CI/CD and infrastructure as code that checks every change, holds back a release that looks wrong and has a rollback we have already rehearsed. CI/CD & IaC is USD 4,000, 2 weeks, fixed price.
CI/CD & IaC build or re-architecture · USD 4,000 · 2 weeks
- SRE and observability

QA Automation Foundations · USD 5,000 · 2 weeks
- QA outsourcing
You want releases that do not break and a QA you can hold to account, without building a team. Two published routes: a fixed package that leaves a working suite in your CI, or QA engineers by the hour from USD 30.
QA Automation Foundations · USD 5,000 · 2 weeks
- Cloud consulting
We read every line of your AWS, Google Cloud or Azure bill, tie it to a service or team, and list what to change to cut your cloud costs.
Cloud Cost Review · USD 2,500 · 1 week

Moving to the cloud goes wrong when a step breaks and nobody can go back. We move one service at a time, each with a tested way back.

AI
AI agents and generative AI features, with evals that score them and the cost per task.
FromUSD 5,000AI Agent Pilot, 2 weeks
- AI engineering
AI consulting services for teams deciding where AI pays off. Discovery (USD 7,000) checks whether your product is ready and ends with a roadmap. The AI Agent Pilot then proves one use case for USD 5,000 in 2 weeks, with evals and the cost per task measured.
AI Agent Pilot · USD 5,000 · 2 weeks
- AI agent development
An AI pilot is easy to start and hard to judge. We build one agent on one real job, score its answers and measure the cost per task. Your accounts or ours, your choice. In ours, client code never trains models.
AI Agent Pilot · USD 5,000 · 2 weeks
- Generative AI development
Generative AI development services: we add text, image, document or video generation to your product, with the model calls, rules, checks and cost tracking around it. On an AI marketing platform we built, a person approves every generated piece.

Team
Engineers inside your team, a fractional CTO or an architect, by the hour or the month.
FromUSD 30–60an hour, by seniority
- Staff augmentation
If a large consultancy gave you juniors and account managers, or a marketplace gave you individuals and nobody owning the result, this is the third option: LATAM engineers at a published rate (Senior USD 45–50 an hour) whom you interview first.
USD 30–60 an hour
- Hire engineers
Tell us the role and the seniority. We present candidates within 1 week and you interview the engineer who will do the work, at a published rate: Senior USD 45–50 an hour.
USD 30–60 an hour
- Forward deployed engineering
A forward deployed engineer works inside your team and on your real systems, and ships changes into them. A Senior is USD 45–50 an hour and a Lead USD 55–60, the same table as staff augmentation.
USD 30–60 an hour
- Fractional CTO
You need someone to own the technical decisions without hiring a full-time CTO. A fractional CTO (CTO as a service) is a senior architect, led by Mat Caniglia, who gives you 30 hours a week.
Fractional CTO · USD 6,000 / month · 6-month minimum, 30 h a week
- Architect on demand
The architect designs, answers your team's questions, follows up decisions and builds.

What does a software consultancy do?
A software consultancy designs, builds and runs software for its clients. Clouditive does this with LATAM engineers, working in English or Spanish, in four blocks: build (custom software, web applications, portals and product design), operate and scale (platform, DevOps, SRE, QA), AI, and team (staff augmentation, forward deployed engineers, a fractional CTO or an architect). You buy hours at published rates by seniority, or fixed-price packages.
We build the software your team can't staff in time, and we run it: pipelines, platforms, tests, observability and AI features.
Today we have access to more than 100 different profiles, available in under two weeks.
Two ways to hire
By the hour
Add engineers to your team through staff augmentation, from USD 30 an hour (Junior) to USD 55–60 (Lead or Architect). You interview the engineer who will do the work. Hourly teams have a 6-month minimum.
- Lead / ArchitectUSD55–60per hour
- SeniorUSD45–50per hour
- MidUSD35–40per hour
- JuniorUSD30per hour
USD per hour, drawn to scale
Fixed scope
Buy a package with a set price, duration and scope, and no minimum term. If the scope is still open, Discovery costs USD 7,000 for 1–4 weeks and ends with a roadmap.
Compliance engineering: SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR and LGPD
Customers, regulators and acquirers ask for evidence of these frameworks, and most of it is engineering: how code ships, who has access, what is logged and watched. We do that engineering toward the controls. We never audit, assess or certify.
Frequently asked questions
What services does Clouditive offer?
Building software (custom software, web applications, portals, product design), operating and scaling it (platform, DevOps, SRE, QA), AI engineering, and team services (staff augmentation, forward deployed engineering, a fractional CTO, an architect).
Who does the work?
Nearshore engineers in LATAM, working in English or Spanish. You interview the engineer who will do the work.
How many engineers do you have?
A small senior team, with Mat leading every project. Today we have access to more than 100 different profiles, available in under two weeks. That is a pool to choose from, not 100 employees. Mat interviews every engineer before we present them to you.
How are services priced?
Fixed-price packages from USD 2,500, or hourly from USD 30 to 60 by seniority. Both price lists are on the pricing page.
Which service should I start with?
If you know the problem, start with that service's package. If not, start with Discovery: USD 7,000 for 1 to 4 weeks, ending with a full roadmap.
Can I combine services?
Yes. Our Autonomah work covered AI engineering, platform, CI/CD, observability and QA on one product.
Where can I see this work?
Seven client cases are published, each with its stack, its dates and the figures from its releases, test runs or checks.
Do you build software, or only run it?
Both. We build custom software, web applications, portals and product design end to end, and we operate and scale what runs: platform, DevOps, SRE and QA.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes. A senior team builds the mobile app together with its web and backend, at the published rates. Autonomah's mobile app is our published mobile work. Our other products are web applications designed at 390 pixels.
