Nearshore software development inUruguay

Uruguay sits two hours ahead of United States Eastern Time for most of the year, which makes it one of the few places in the region where a supplier finishes the day after a New York client has started it.

The figures below are published as they are measured. Where a field reads pending, no source has been read for it yet — it is not a zero, and it is not an estimate.

Computed over a 9-to-6 working day at both ends, against United States Eastern Time. The two halves of the year are shown separately because the difference is real: the United States observes daylight saving and most of the region no longer does.

Jobs at CUTI’s 400-plus member companies, as the chamber states on its own homepage. It is a floor under Uruguay’s IT workforce, not a count of it — companies outside the chamber are not in this number.

Providers based here

Providers in Uruguay

Featured partners appear first in the country, role and service listings, and carry a tag. That is a paid placement and nothing else: the rest of each list is alphabetical, and the partnership does not touch the score, the tier, or where the company sits in the ranking by score on the directory page. The full disclosure is on each partner’s profile and in the editorial policy.

How this page is built

  • Named sources

    Every figure carries the source it was read from and the date it was read. Nothing is estimated.

  • Published methodology

    The scale, the gates and the thresholds are generated by the scoring engine itself, so what you read is what ran.

  • Declared gaps

    What we have not measured says so. It is never rendered as a zero or filled with a guess.

  • No paid placement

    No provider can buy a listing, a position or a reconsideration. There is no advertising on this site.
