At Gtech, we believe building a dream team shouldn’t feel like a nightmare.
That’s the mindset we brought when we started working with SLTWTR—a bold and creative U.S.-premier agency focused on design, development, and implementation of Composable Commerce Solutions for merchants on the Shopify platform. From day one, their vision was clear. But like many startups in California and across the East Coast, they faced the same challenge: how do we scale fast without compromising on quality?
They were on the hunt for the right nearshore partner—someone who could help them find developers, move quickly, and grow sustainably.
That’s where we came in.
The Challenge: Fast Growth, Limited Bandwidth
SLTWTR was growing fast. Their creative studio was launching projects for high-profile clients and needed a tech team that could match their momentum. They weren’t just looking to outsource tech talent—they were looking to build a real, long-term partnership.
They needed to hire web developers who could jump into action, understand the pace of startup life, and deliver with both speed and care.
The Solution: Experienced Talent from Colombia
We’ve been partnering with SLTWTR for over two years now, and the relationship just keeps growing stronger. So far, we’ve built a dedicated team of three developers for them:
Two full-stack Shopify developers focused on building custom Shopify stores for SLTWTR’s clients:
- One developer specializes in the development and customization of Shopify stores for well-known brands. From implementing advanced functionalities and integrating third-party apps, to optimizing performance and running A/B tests, their work directly enhances both user experience and business results.
- Our senior full-stack Shopify developer not only builds Shopify storefronts from conception to launch but also oversees our Colombia-based team. With deep experience in creating customized solutions for multi-market e-commerce operations, they’ve become a trusted lead and advisor within SLTWTR’s tech efforts.
One React developer currently working on a custom Shopify app, expanding SLTWTR’s tech capabilities and product offerings:
- This developer focuses on building and maintaining user interfaces, integrating with Shopify’s backend, and delivering features that improve internal workflows and overall product experience. Their work is central to expanding SLTWTR’s product innovation.
This team didn’t just slot in—they became an extension of SLTWTR. Working in the same time zone, sharing values, and showing up with the same level of commitment and care.
And the best part? There are already plans to grow the team even more this year.
Why It Worked
It’s not just about finding talent, it’s about finding the right talent.
- We understood SLTWTR’s creative and technical goals.
- We matched them with experienced talent from Colombia who could hit the ground running.
- We stayed close to the process, from onboarding to ongoing support, ensuring a smooth collaboration every step of the way.
