Creek Software

Hikru (operating under Creek Software, now part of Atmosera) is a nearshore software development firm based in Costa Rica with offices in Argentina and the United States. The company operates a team of 60+ engineers, with senior developers averaging 15 years of experience. Founded as an AI-first shop, Hikru positions itself around automating development workflows and embedding AI into client solutions rather than treating it as an add-on service.

The company recently merged with Atmosera, described as a "Microsoft-Native Platform" designed to handle modernization projects across the Americas. This positioning suggests a focus on enterprises running or migrating to Microsoft technology stacks, though the source material doesn't detail Atmosera's specific role or how it changes Hikru's service delivery.

Services and capabilities

Hikru's core offering is custom software development paired with data engineering and AI/LLM work. On the software side, they handle full-cycle development with an emphasis on code quality and faster delivery cycles. Data engineering services involve converting data into actionable insights through scalable pipeline architecture. Their AI and LLM offerings center on process automation and decision-support systems rather than consumer-facing AI products.

The company also runs a 24/7 helpdesk and proactive IT management from LatAm, marketed as managed IT services for North American clients. Mobile app development and UX/UI design round out the portfolio. All services are framed around the nearshore model—Latin American time zones with English-fluent teams.

No specific technology stack is detailed in the source material beyond the Microsoft alliance mentioned at the company level. No frameworks, languages, or cloud platforms are explicitly named.

Notable work

Clients cited by name include Componentes El Orbe (manufacturing), Waypoint Group, Aluminyze (metal products), Hontex GP (textiles), and Jacks (facilities management or similar). One project mentioned is an electronic billing system for Jacks, delivered on time and according to spec. A healthtech company CEO notes Hikru improved "life quality of end users" through responsive service. Client retention averages over 4 years, which the company cites as evidence of satisfaction, though no revenue figures or project scopes are provided.

How they work

Hikru engages through three models: staff augmentation, dedicated teams, and software outsourcing (fixed-scope projects). No hourly rates, team minimum sizes, or project minimums are stated. The company emphasizes long-term partnership framing and claims clients treat them as "an extension of our internal team." Communication responsiveness is a repeated theme in client testimonials. No SLAs, deployment frequencies, or reporting cadences are detailed.

Team and credentials

The company is 60+ engineers strong with an average seniority of 15 years among senior developers. Offices operate in Costa Rica, Argentina, and the United States (Miami, based on the listed phone number area code 305). Hikru is now part of Atmosera, a Microsoft-aligned partner. No ISO, SOC 2, or other security certifications are mentioned in the source. No Clutch, G2, or other third-party ratings appear.
