What Devlane does

Devlane, legally Brimak Corporation SA and headquartered at the World Trade Center in Montevideo, Uruguay, is a private nearshore IT staff augmentation company founded in 2020. It connects U.S.-based companies with senior engineering talent sourced from across 15 Latin American countries, drawing on a curated pool of 70,000 vetted candidates. The company operates under a 360° service model that bundles recruitment, payroll administration, local labor-law compliance, hardware provisioning, and ongoing talent retention into a single contract. Its go-to-market is sales-led, targeting U.S. enterprise and mid-market technology companies in major tech hubs (San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles) through dedicated account executives and a book-a-call conversion mechanism.

Devlane's technology surface centers on a Talent Platform that provides real-time visibility into candidate profiles, interview recordings, and skills assessments, supplemented by tools such as a Nearshore Savings Calculator. The company supports a broad stack of technologies including React, Python, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Java, iOS, Android, TypeScript, and Golang, and deploys on AWS, GCP, and Azure. Its security and compliance posture is anchored by ISO 27001:2022 certification (held for over six years), GDPR compliance, and adherence to Uruguay's Law 18.831, with a dedicated CISO (Esteban Gretter) overseeing the Information Security Management System. Day-to-day execution is led by Managing Director Martín Laclau, with Mikaela Cabella as CMO and senior account executives handling enterprise client engagement.

Devlane generates revenue primarily through managed staff augmentation services, charging clients monthly subscriptions for senior-level engineers at rates positioned to deliver 40–60% cost savings versus equivalent U.S. hires. Pricing is quote-based and customized by role, seniority, and engagement duration. Named customers span verticals including media (Grindr, Feeld), fintech (SpotOn), healthcare (Linus Health, Huckleberry), retail (Everlane, Flipp, iHerb, Mejuri), SaaS (Paragon, AtScale), and consumer products (Moen, Redfin), with engagement sizes ranging from 3 to 32 engineers per client. In December 2025, the company expanded its 360° model and rebranded explicitly for the U.S. market, signaling a strategic push to deepen enterprise penetration.
