LatamCent makes nearshoring feel like an
extension of AI & B2B SaaS teams
I wish many of our US-based employees showed the same level of enthusiasm we’re getting from our team members in Latin America.
Some of our very best reps that have been promoted to senior SDR have come from LatamCent.
It basically feels like we’re working with our in-house people team. Sometimes I actually get confused about who’s a YipitData employee and who’s a LatamCent employee.
We built that from the ground up with a couple of LatamCent-placed people. Being able to keep those enterprise customers is integral to the expansion of SpendHound itself.
When I started, my team was around four or five people. It’s almost 30 now. That’s in large part due to the work LatamCent has done for us.
I know we're going to get good people, and I don't have any worry that it's going to be a super long six-month process of trying to find someone.
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.
Hiring CSMs in the U.S. wasn’t scalable, but LatamCent made it possible.
LatamCent helped us scale quickly when growth was creating demand our team couldn’t handle.
I always say there’s no Steve Jobs without Steve Wozniak, and that’s what this hire became for us.
LatamCent made hiring engineers simple.
We needed someone to step in fast and keep our marketing momentum strong.
We needed to expand our analytics team fast but still stay within budget.
LatamCent helped us grow our customer base while staying on budget.
We needed to scale our engineering and delivery teams fast without sacrificing quality.
We needed SDRs who could start fast and deliver results right away.
Before LatamCent, we spent hours sorting through resumes that didn’t fit.
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.
