LatamCent makes nearshoring feel like an
extension of your AI team
I was blown away because LatamCent was able to find more than one qualified candidate who met all of it. It turned out it wasn’t a unicorn, at least not for you.
As our engineering team in Brazil grew, finding developers with the right experience became difficult.
We had reached a point where contractors were slowing us down instead of helping us scale.
LatamCent made hiring engineers simple.
We needed to scale our engineering and delivery teams fast without sacrificing quality.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring Back-End Developers
How do I hire a back-end developer from Latin America?
LatamCent handles sourcing, vetting, and onboarding end to end. You sign an agreement, share your stack and role requirements, and our Talent Partners headhunt qualified candidates who pass a technical screening, a live coding exercise, an English fluency assessment, and reference checks. Your first candidates are usually ready to interview within days, with a hire in place within 21 days.
What back-end roles does LatamCent place?
LatamCent places 20 specialized back-end roles, including generalist developers, language specialists (Java, Python, C#, Kotlin, Elixir), cloud and platform engineers (AWS, Azure, OpenShift), DevOps and reliability engineers, and API, GraphQL, and security specialists.
How long does it take to hire a back-end developer through LatamCent?
Most roles are filled in 21 days or less. Talent Partners typically deliver your first 3 to 5 vetted candidate profiles within 10 days. Interviews and final selection usually wrap up over the following one to two weeks.
How much does it cost to hire a back-end developer from Latin America vs. the USA?
Back-end developers in Latin America average around $54K per year, compared to roughly $135K for equivalent US talent, a savings of about $81K per hire. Rates vary by specialty: senior architects and distributed systems leads command premium salaries, while generalist roles sit closer to the regional average.
What experience levels of back-end developers can I hire?
LatamCent places candidates across four tiers: Junior (1-2 years, feature-level tasks), Mid-Level (3-5 years, owns services end to end), Senior (6-8 years, leads architecture decisions and mentors teams), and Director-level (9+ years, defines technical strategy).
What is the difference between a back-end developer, a DevOps engineer, and a site reliability engineer?
A back-end developer writes the application logic, APIs, and database queries. A DevOps engineer builds the pipelines that ship that code to production. A site reliability engineer keeps the running system healthy, fixing incidents and improving uptime. Smaller teams often need one generalist who covers all three.
Which languages and platforms do your back-end developers work with?
Candidates work in Java, Python, C#, .NET Core, Kotlin, and Elixir, deploying on AWS, Azure, and OpenShift, with tooling like Docker, GraphQL, and microservices architectures for teams that need to scale past a single monolith.
Can I hire a full back-end team instead of a single developer?
Yes. LatamCent regularly staffs full back-end pods, pairing a senior architect with supporting API, DevOps, and database specialists. That way you get a team that has already worked together, not four strangers hired one role at a time.
