Azumo

What is Azumo?

Azumo is an AI-native software development firm that embeds senior engineering "pods" directly into client projects, designing, building, and shipping production-ready software: AI and machine learning, web and mobile applications, data engineering, chatbots, and DevOps and cloud infrastructure. It works with enterprise and mid-market clients and has shipped more than 100 AI projects since 2016, with clients that have included Meta, Omnicom, Twitter, UnitedHealth, and Discovery Channel. Azumo uses a nearshore model, its developers are primarily based in South America, notably Argentina, working in US-aligned time zones so they can collaborate closely with US clients during business hours. A point Azumo emphasizes is that its developers are direct employees, not freelancers, staying dedicated to a single client's needs rather than being shuffled between projects, which it positions as a quality and consistency advantage. Azumo was founded in 2016 by Chike Agbai, Founder and CEO, a former Silicon Valley investment banker who advised large, fast-growing technology and software companies before starting Azumo, alongside Juan Pablo Lorandi, CTO, who brings more than 25 years of software architecture experience. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Mission & values

Embed dedicated senior engineering teams that ship real, production-ready AI and software products for the companies that need them.

Qualifications

Azumo hires software engineers and specialists across AI/machine learning, web and mobile development, data engineering, chatbot development, and DevOps/cloud, since these map directly to the pods it embeds in client projects. Strong hands-on engineering skill, the ability to work directly with clients (Azumo developers are dedicated to specific engagements, not rotated across many small projects), and comfort collaborating in US-aligned time zones are the core requirements. Because Azumo's engineering team is concentrated nearshore, primarily in Argentina and other parts of South America, most engineering roles are based in and around that region, genuinely remote-friendly for people there, though eligible countries and any office expectations vary by role, so check each posting. Azumo also hires a smaller group of client-facing, sales, and corporate roles based around its San Francisco headquarters. Application flow lives at azumo.com (careers).
