Melty is a full-stack development shop based in the US 🇺🇸 and Brazil 🇧🇷 that provides both team augmentation, as well as project-based work to deliver your app, website, or software project affordably and on time.Our clients are primarily in the United States, and our development takes place in Brazil. We are deeply embedded in the technical community surrounding a top Brazilian engineering university, Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, in the beach city of Vitória, Brazil.This location has the advantage of NOT being located in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, or other technical hubs where companies like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft compete for talent and pay top dollar to cover higher costs of big-city living.Unlike Europe, India, Russia, or Southeast Asia, Brazil also has the advantage of being located in a timezone that is 1-4 hours away from anywhere in the continental US. This gives us significant overlapping working hours between the US and Brazil.In sum, our location enables us to hire ambitious local talent at excellent rates to deliver high-quality product, on time, within budget, and without sacrificing communication.
