SILAStaffing in Latin America

Hire nearshore developers, all of Latin America

Hire Nearshore Developers Across Latin America

You are not buying access to a job board. You are buying a shortlist you would actually hire from, employed compliantly in the country the engineer lives in, with one team accountable for both the hire and the paperwork.

No obligation. You see markets, model and landed cost before anyone calls you.

What is hire nearshore developers?

Hiring nearshore developers means employing engineers in Latin America who work your US business hours. You interview a calibrated shortlist, we handle the local contract, payroll and statutory benefits, and a senior LATAM engineer typically lands at 40% to 65% of the fully loaded cost of the equivalent US hire.

Same working day, same review cycle, same standup. The only thing that changes is the cost line.

Engineering roles we fill across LATAM

  • Backend: Node, Python, Java, Go, .NET, Ruby
  • Frontend and full stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vue, Angular
  • Mobile: React Native, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter
  • Data and AI: data engineering, analytics engineering, ML and LLM application work
  • Platform: DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, security engineering
  • QA and delivery: automation, SDET, technical product and engineering management

How the hire actually runs

  • Calibration call on stack, seniority, market and budget band
  • Shortlist of interview-ready engineers in 5 to 10 business days
  • Your interview loop, your technical bar, your final decision

What a LATAM engineer costs

Fully loaded monthly cost usually lands between 40% and 65% of an equivalent US hire once salary, statutory employer burden and service are counted. Mid-level engineers in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and Peru sit at the lower end of that band; senior platform, data and AI engineers in Brazil, Chile and Costa Rica sit at the higher end. We publish the landed number per market before you commit.
