Built by Engineers, for Engineers

We started Alongside because we believed there had to be a better way. A company where senior engineers could do their best work, and clients could access top-tier talent without the noise.

Pedro Pinho, Founder & CEO

AI made code cheap. It also made bad decisions expensive. The companies that win are the ones with engineers who know the difference between something that compiles and something that actually works.” — Pedro Pinho, Founder & CEO

Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do.

01

Quality First

Rushing creates tech debt. We build things properly the first time, even when deadlines feel tight.

02

No Surprises

When something breaks, you'll hear about it. We share the real state of projects, not a polished version.

03

Your Success Matters

We actually care if your product works. It's about the outcome, not the invoice.

04

Always Learning

What worked last year might be outdated now. We stay sharp because the tech keeps moving.
