About Us
Sapphire Labs is a nearshore product development partner. We embed engineers, designers, and product managers directly into your team, so you can ship faster without the overhead of full-time hiring. Founded in Texas in 2022, we've grown to 60+ team members across the US and Latin America, serving startups and scaling companies who need to move at founder speed.
Our People, Our Culture
Sapphire started with a belief: the best engineers in LATAM deserve better than outsourcing factories and revolving-door contracts. We built a company where senior talent can do work they're proud of, grow their careers, and stay. Our average tenure is 2.5 years in an industry where most people leave in 6 months. That stability isn't just good for our team. It's good for yours. When you work with Sapphire, you get people who learn your product, remember your goals, and show up like teammates because that's what they are.
Proximity & Collaboration
Our strong cultural alignment, shared professional standards, and clear communication allow us to integrate smoothly with your team, offering a partnership that feels local, no matter where we are.
