FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does Icalia Labs do?
Icalia Labs is an agentic engineering partner. We deploy nearshore forward deployed engineers: senior engineers from Mexico and Latin America who embed in your team, work your hours, and own outcomes in production. Engagements run as Agentic Engineering, Talent Augmentation (managed nearshore staff augmentation), or Placements and Build-Operate-Transfer.
How does Talent Augmentation work?
We present senior engineers matched to your stack and team, and you run the final interviews. Engineers join your standups, planning, and code review as part of your team, while we handle employment, payroll, growth plans, and continuity behind them.
Which industries do you specialize in?
Regulated and uptime-critical domains: fintech (flow of funds, cards, ledgers, direct-to-bank connections), healthtech (HIPAA, EHR and claims integrations), and logistics (TMS, EDI, telematics, and DOT and FMCSA integrations).
Is AI-written code maintainable?
It is when the system around it is built for it. Agents implement inside a defined workflow, senior engineers own the specification and review every change before it ships, and the tests and conventions stay strong enough that the next change is easy too.
How do you vet engineers for AI skill?
Every candidate is ID-verified, then does a live build in under 45 minutes with their own models and agents. Fewer than 0.4% of applicants are accepted.
Do we get to interview the engineers?
Yes. You still run the final interviews, and your standards decide who joins.
What happens if an engineer leaves?
We plan for continuity from day one. Growth plans and regular reviews keep engineers engaged, with 95% retention over 5+ years, and when someone does move on we run a planned handover and present a replacement.
How do you bill?
Engagements bill time and materials, usually on an evergreen SOW so there are fewer renewal cycles to administer. We frame the work around outcomes, but we don't sell guaranteed outcomes.
What makes Icalia Labs different from other staffing vendors?
Our engineers built products before AI and now build them with AI, and they stay. We've been trusted by Fortune 500 companies and startups since 2012.
