About Sciensa
Engineering for what truly matters
Sciensa is a technology engineering firm that designs, builds and operates critical platforms for the most demanding industries in Latin America and beyond.
Our story
We started in 2014 with a simple thesis: the hardest technology problems in Latin America are in financial services, and solving them requires deep engineering, not offshore staffing.
Today, 200+ engineers work across banking, payments, insurance, retail, healthcare and energy, industries where engineering depth, not just technology adoption, is the decisive differentiator. 90% of finance functions are expected to adopt AI by 2026. (Gartner (2024))
We invest in proprietary platforms, publish research and share what we learn with the community.
Foundation of SOA Expert, an enterprise integration and service-oriented architecture school, the seed of what would become Sciensa.

Frequently asked questions about Sciensa.
Sciensa has its roots in 2010, when the founders launched SOA Expert, an enterprise integration and service-oriented architecture school.

Over the next decade, the company expanded into platform engineering, data and AI, and launched proprietary platforms, Amplify and Lumia AI, serving clients across six sectors.
AI-native delivery means that AI capabilities are integrated across every engineering discipline, not siloed in a separate data science team. Sciensa's squads integrate AI Engineering, MLOps, Platform Engineering and Data into unified delivery teams, making AI production-ready from day one.
Engineering excellence at Sciensa means treating architecture, code quality and operational discipline as non-negotiable, not as speed trade-offs.
Owner mindset means Sciensa acts as a co-builder, not a vendor executing requirements. Teams make decisions with the client's long-term success in mind and take responsibility for outcomes.
Sciensa has served 120+ enterprise clients across financial services, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, energy and utilities, telecommunications, and mobility and logistics.
