Hire LATAM developers for your US company
Add senior engineering talent to your team without the US price tag. Save 60–70%, get 3–6 hours of real-time overlap and B2–C1 English — fully remote, with payroll and compliance handled by Interfell.
Senior engineering talent, US-aligned hours, a fraction of the cost
Latin America has become the go-to nearshore region for US startups and scale-ups: overlapping time zones, strong English and a deep pool of senior engineers at globally competitive rates.
Save 60–70%
A US senior developer costs $120K–180K/year. An equally qualified LATAM engineer costs $30K–60K/year — same skill, far more runway.
3–6h real-time overlap
From EST to PST, LATAM aligns with your business day. Colombia and Venezuela match EST; Argentina, Chile and Mexico cover the rest.
B2–C1 English
Colombia averages B2, Argentina B2–C1, Venezuela B2. Every candidate is screened for the English level your role needs.
No US visa required
Engineers work fully remote from their home country. No sponsorship, no relocation, no immigration paperwork.
Hire in days, not months
Pre-vetted candidates mean you interview the same day and sign within 72 hours. Time-to-hire down by up to 66%.
Payroll & compliance done
Interfell acts as the local entity: salary, local taxes, benefits and contracts handled in the engineer's country.
