ABOUT Z3

An engineering team, not an hours factory.

Z3 Works is a Brazilian software development company, with clients in Brazil and other countries — including the United States, Canada and New Zealand.

Founded in 2014 with a focus on international projects, Z3 started out serving clients in the United States — initially in partnership with a US-based company specialized in integrating foreign clients — then expanded into New Zealand, and today also serves companies in Canada, always pairing that international know-how with projects in the Brazilian market.

Along the way, the team grew to about 20 professionals, working 100% remote and integrated with international teams, following agile methodology (Scrum) from planning to production deploy. That accumulated experience spans sectors like transportation and telemetry, e-commerce, security and IoT, and travel tech — including projects for companies that were later acquired by major players in their markets.

  • 01
    Lean team, full context

    Small, senior teams dedicated to your product — no constant swapping of people mid-project.

  • 02
    Direct integration with your team

    We take part in the client's agile ceremonies — dailies, planning and reviews — as an extension of the team, not as an outside vendor.

  • 03
    Delivery, not just code

    Infrastructure, monitoring and deployment are part of the scope — the goal is the system running in production.

WHAT WE DO

Three ways to work with us.

From zero to production, or reinforcing a team that already exists.
