The lemon tea

Ecuadorian developers, paid in dollars

Budget in dollars, pay in dollars: we handle payouts to your vetted Ecuadorian developer.

Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca

Quito has the government and universities, Guayaquil the port and business, and Cuenca a small, calm tech scene.

EPN, USFQ and ESPOL

Quito's Politécnica Nacional and USFQ face off with Guayaquil's ESPOL, a friendly rivalry between the two cities.

Payments and enterprise

Ecuador's developers lean toward payment infrastructure, enterprise systems and cloud migrations for regional firms.

Why Ecuador

Ecuador uses the US dollar, so developer rates need no currency conversion.

Payment rails from Quito

Kushki built payment infrastructure in Ecuador that now serves merchants across Latin America.

US Eastern hours

Quito and New York share a clock half the year and sit an hour apart the rest of it.

Building from zero

Ecuador's startup scene is young, so many developers have built products from a blank page.

Close to Colombia and Peru

Projects with Colombia and Peru are common, so Ecuadorian developers know the neighbors' markets.
