nalto deploys AI inside mid-sized companies.
For real, in production.
We do it through AI workers: agents that take over a job from start to finish. They don't just communicate through voice and email: they make decisions, take action, and run operations autonomously across entire enterprise systems. Around them, we build custom software designed for the way each business actually works.
Mid-sized companies know AI could transform how they operate. What they lack is the team to make it happen, and most assume custom AI is reserved for large corporations. We prove them wrong: one process at a time, in production, measured in hours given back to their teams.
Nothing off the shelf, nothing stuck in a demo. And everything we build belongs to the client: no lock-in, no endless licences.
We operate in Spain and France, and we're building our presence in the UAE.

Our values,
day to day.
Production or nothing
A demo isn't a deliverable. If it's not running in a real business, it's not done.
Extreme ownership
Your AI worker, your client, your call. If something breaks, even outside your lane, you fix it or flag it. Nobody here waits for a ticket.
Craft over volume
We'd rather ship one AI worker that runs flawlessly for years than five that need babysitting. Quality compounds, duct tape doesn't.
Talent density
Small team, no passengers. The best argument wins, whoever makes it.
Urgency with focus
Speed is a promise, not a vibe. We move fast on what matters and refuse to be busy with what doesn't.
Three cities,
the whole team together every month.
Paris
Clients, industry, strategy and short coffee.
Barcelona
Product, builders, Mediterranean and execution.
Dubai
Our next market: we're building our presence there, and hiring.
Five roles. Zero filler.
We hire rarely and we turn down very good people. We don't place anyone inside someone else's team and we don't sell days: we build and we deliver. If you'd rather build a pretty demo that never leaves the laptop, this won't be for you.
Forward Deployed Engineer
Deploy AI workers inside mid-sized companies. For real, in production.
Applied AI Engineer
AI demos always work. You build the ones that survive Monday, with genuinely messy data and people relying on them to do their job.
Data & Product Engineer
A tool nobody opens is a failure, however good the code is. You model the data and build the screen the team opens every morning.
Employee or freelance.
Same team.
You pick the setup that suits you. As an employee or a freelancer, you work on the same projects, with the same team, and you own the same outcome: we never place you at a client to plug a gap. Terms are agreed case by case.
How we hire
The process
Four steps, two weeks: a thirty-minute call with a partner; a technical conversation about something you've already built; one real, paid day of work on an anonymised client process; an answer within five working days. No HR round, no personality test, no whiteboard algorithms.
You get an answer
A partner reads it, not an automated filter. We answer everyone, including when the answer is no.
None of them fit
quite right?
If you're good and none of the five is you, send us an open application. We read everything and we answer everyone, including when the answer is no.
