About
NKE places senior Colombian engineers with US teams building AI systems. We are small enough that every placement is vetted by someone who ships production code, and structured enough to carry the contracts, insurance, and IP assignment that make that placement safe to sign.
Track record
NKE's leadership has spent two decades on one question: how to make complex, human-centered systems more intelligent and more autonomous at scale. The domains changed; the work did not.
The pattern repeats: integrate fragmented data, apply intelligence, and put better decisions in front of the people who have to make them.
Partners
NKE is small at the top and deep underneath. The people who screen a candidate are the same people who write production code that week, which is the only reason the technical bar means anything.
Two decades architecting data and integration platforms: autonomous systems R&D for DARPA and DHS, then real-time freight visibility and operational rules engines at enterprise scale. Now builds LLM and agentic systems full time, and runs the hands-on technical session behind every placement.
Senior software developer focused on UI/UX and design engineering. Builds design systems and high-performance commerce architectures, including Humancore's AI platform, IVAO's design system, and product work for Colombian brands. Sets how NKE's own interfaces and client-facing products get designed and built.
How we work
We take engagements where we believe we can move the needle on business value, and we turn down the ones where we cannot. That is easier to do honestly when the firm is built on placements rather than billable hours.
Our own product work keeps the technical bar current. Building agentic systems in production is what makes our screening credible, because the people running a candidate session that week are solving the same problems the candidate will be hired to solve.
Next step
If you lead engineering, product, or operations and you are under pressure to ship AI capability without a US hiring budget, we should talk. Twenty minutes, a real problem, an honest answer about whether we are the right fit.
