First Factory is a leading provider of software solution services located in New York, with nearshore operations in Costa Rica. We offer a wide range of services including AI solutions, cloud infrastructure, product development, and custom software development. Our team blends technical know-how with business insight, ensuring that each member is not only a proficient problem solver but also an effective communicator. We collaborate with companies across the spectrum, from startups to Fortune 500 firms, and have expertise in a diverse tech stack. Established by Jason T. Roff in 2000, our inspiration came from Andy Warhol's notion of "The Factory," aiming to create an ideal environment for software engineers to explore ideas and manage significant projects. Since launching our Costa Rica branch in 2006, our team has expanded from 4 .NET developers to over 200 employees today. Our dedication to quality craftsmanship and professional growth for both our employees and partners distinguishes us. We excel at swiftly grasping business objectives and tailoring our approach to specific requirements instead of merely completing tasks. This strategy has secured us a spot on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies for five years running, as well as SOC 2 Type 2 certification and AWS Partner status. Our US team operates remotely, while our office in Cariari, Heredia, Costa Rica hosts a business operations team focused on finances and facilities, along with an HR team dedicated to employee growth and support. Our recruitment team actively engages with a community of over 25,000 followers, members, and applicants globally. Additionally, we have a design team that caters to internal branding and marketing needs, as well as UX/UI for internal products and client projects. Our technical team is led by our VP of Engineering, based in Costa Rica.
