Hire Cloud Engineers in Latin America

Fill out the form, then book your intake call and describe your cloud provider, Terraform or Kubernetes setup, required seniority and budget. NBS screens cloud engineers in four stages, including a B2-or-higher CEFR English assessment and a role-specific technical work sample on your stack. You interview your first candidates within 3 business days of the intake call and choose your hire.

Senior cloud engineers in Latin America cost 40 to 60 percent below US rates, and mid-level cloud engineers cost 50 to 70 percent below. A direct hire placement carries a one-time fee, and nearshore staff augmentation runs on a fixed monthly fee that covers employment, payroll, benefits, compliance and monthly invoicing. NBS quotes its fee on the intake call.

Hire nearshore for cloud work that runs alongside your US team. All 12 NBS countries sit within 2 hours of US Eastern time, while India runs about 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead, the Philippines about 12 to 13 hours ahead and Eastern Europe about 7 hours ahead. A nearshore engineer can investigate a failed Terraform apply that a developer flags at 2 p.m. Eastern and review the correction with your team during the same working day.

A nearshore cloud engineer works from Latin America as part of your US team during US business hours. That overlap lets the engineer review Terraform plans with your developers, run production deployments inside your release window and handle access requests during your working day. An offshore engineer in an Asian time zone may review those plans after your team has logged off, so a blocked change can wait until the next working day.

You can hire from 12 LatAm countries: Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua in North and Central America, and Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay in South America. NBS has local recruiters in each, and each country has a hiring guide on this site.
