Jalasoft is a nearshore software engineering company founded in Bolivia in 2001. Over more than two decades, it has grown to employ over 1,000 engineers across 74 cities in 12 countries, and describes itself as one of South America's fastest-growing technology companies. The company holds ISO 27001 certification and is a Microsoft partner.
Engineers at Jalasoft work on enterprise-grade application development, system integration using platforms such as Boomi, and AI-powered solutions, with a primary technology stack that includes .NET and React. Client engagements tend to be long-term, with partnerships averaging ten years, and engineers ship software on a daily cadence. The company also runs dedicated R&D teams that incubate internal startups.
A distinctive feature of Jalasoft's model is Jala University, a free educational programme designed to identify and train Latin American engineering talent before bringing them into the company as engineers - referred to internally as "Athletes." The programme claims to recruit from the top 2% of Latin American talent and reflects a stated organisational principle of investing in people before projects.
The culture is structured around continuous learning, long-term client accountability, and internal product exploration. Engineers are expected to engage with real-world engineering challenges from the outset, and the company's R&D function provides exposure to early-stage product development alongside client delivery work.
