The same seniority you would hire in the US, at a fraction of the cost, with no recruiting retainers and no hidden fees.
UTC-3: real overlap with the US business day, so standups, pairing and reviews happen live, not overnight.
English is validated before any profile reaches you — not self-declared on a resume. You see a video before you interview.
Where Chilean engineers are deepest today, based on the roles Interfell actually fills the most in Chile.

Chile offers a stable, mature tech ecosystem, with B1–B2 English and working hours in UTC-3 (1–2 hours ahead of US Eastern), at 50–70% lower cost than hiring the same seniority in the United States. Engineers are particularly strong in data and cloud engineering and work fully remote, so you do not need an office or a local entity.
Chile sits in UTC-3 (1–2 hours ahead of US Eastern). In practice that means a full overlap with the US business day: standups, pairing sessions and code reviews happen live, not asynchronously overnight like with offshore teams in Asia or Eastern Europe.
No. Developers work fully remote from Chile under Interfell’s local contracting structure. There is no US visa, no sponsorship and no foreign company to set up. Interfell signs the agreement, pays in-country every month and handles compliance; you receive a single invoice.
A mid-level fullstack developer in Chile earns around $3,900–$4,500 per month in gross salary (Interfell LATAM IT Salary Guide 2027), against $8,000–$11,000 for the equivalent role in the US. Ranges vary by role, seniority and stack — the table above breaks down eight roles across three seniority levels.
