Glajumedia

Glajumedia, which trades as gmedia.la, is a software development company based in Lima, Peru. It has worked as a nearshore outsourcing partner since 2010, placing Latin American engineers with startups, product companies and digital agencies in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The company's central argument is that time-zone overlap and technical English make Peruvian teams a practical extension of a client's own team.

Dedicated development teams

Its flagship service is the dedicated team: part-time or full-time engineers matched to a project's profile and run with agile methods. The company says it prefers senior engineers to rapid growth and deliberately stays mid-sized, so that its engineers integrate with the client's product rather than working as a separate resource. Code reviews, feedback sprints and a constant learning culture are part of each team, and clients are given full access to tracking, hours and progress.

Staff augmentation and fixed-price projects

Clients who need one developer or several can add engineers to an existing team and scale them up or down as the work changes. For smaller projects, a fixed-price arrangement covers a defined scope and brings the work to completion on an agreed timetable and budget. The company's engineers work in hours that overlap with the US and Western Europe, which it cites as the reason clients can talk to them in real time.

Quality assurance, e-commerce and mobile

The company also offers quality assurance and testing, HTML conversion, Shopify and WooCommerce development, and mobile applications built by its frontend, backend and full-stack engineers. Its client list ranges from startups and product companies to digital agencies, small and medium-sized businesses and governments. It describes its engineers as carrying ownership of the code they write.
