Hire The Best
Software Developers
in Latin America

Tell Tecla the role, stack, and seniority you need, and we return a shortlist of vetted candidates in as few as 3 days. Each developer comes from a network across 18+ Latin American countries and has cleared our four-layer vetting. Once you choose, we employ them under our EOR and handle payroll and compliance, so a full-cycle hire takes about three weeks.

Latin America overlaps U.S. business hours, which is the main reason companies hire there instead of offshore. Every Tecla developer works on your hours, joins standups and code reviews in real time, and communicates in fluent English. You manage the work; we handle the employment.

Hiring through Tecla can save U.S. companies up to 70% versus equivalent U.S. talent, while keeping full time-zone overlap. We quote one scoped rate per hire, agreed up front, with employment and compliance already included, so there are no separate payroll or entity-setup costs.

Latin America pairs a large engineering talent pool with real-time overlap with U.S. teams, which offshore regions can't offer. Standups, pairing, and releases happen live during your working day, so you get the cost advantage of hiring abroad while keeping real-time collaboration.

Every candidate goes through a four-layer process, and fewer than 1% are accepted. Our proprietary screening model reads each application; a recruiter evaluates communication and English; a senior engineer runs a technical assessment; and an AI-fluency screen checks whether they build and ship with modern AI tools.

Tecla's network spans 18+ countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, and Uruguay. We match on skill, seniority, and time-zone fit across the whole region, so you see the strongest candidate for the role wherever they are.

Both. Companies use Tecla to add a single specialist, expand a team, or build a complete embedded team across engineering, AI, data, product, design, DevOps, QA, and marketing. It scales in one relationship.

You'll typically see a shortlist in as few as 3 days, because the vetting is done before anyone reaches you. A full-cycle hire, from first conversation to a developer starting, usually takes about three weeks.

Tecla employs each developer under its own EOR in their home country, so classification, payroll, and local labor law never land on you. You direct the work. Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee, though it's rarely needed, since 98% of our talent stays with the teams they join.

Yes. The network includes AI engineers, ML engineers, data engineers, MLOps specialists, data scientists, and LLM specialists. And every candidate is screened for AI fluency, so even engineers hired for non-AI work build with today's tools.

The modern stack: React, Node.js, Python, and the major frontend, backend, mobile, cloud/DevOps, data, and AI/ML technologies, including LLMs and RAG. Tell us your stack and we match developers who have shipped with it.

Since 2013, Tecla has staffed teams for companies including Mercedes-Benz, Roche, BMW, Drift, and HomeLight, across fintech, healthtech, AI, and SaaS. Tecla holds 4.9/5 on Clutch and 4.8/5 on Trustpilot, and is on the Inc. 5000 list.
