Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire software engineers from Latin America?
LATAM combines three things that other regions can't: real-time time zone overlap with U.S. teams (0 to 2 hours difference), a deep pool of senior engineers with production experience at scale, and 40 to 60% cost savings compared to U.S. hiring. Your LATAM engineers participate in daily standups and code reviews live.
Which LATAM country is best for hiring developers?
It depends on your priorities. Brazil has the deepest talent pool across all stacks. Colombia and Peru offer the closest time zone alignment (same as EST) and strong value.

AllCoda sources from all six and recommends the best fit.
What time zones do LATAM developers work in?
LATAM spans UTC-3 to UTC-6, which means 0 to 2 hours difference from U.S. Eastern Time. Colombia and Peru are in the same time zone as EST. Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay are 1 to 2 hours ahead. Mexico is 1 hour behind. All provide 6 to 8 hours of daily overlap with U.S. teams.
How much do LATAM developers cost?
Senior engineers placed through AllCoda range from $45 to $95/hr depending on role, stack, and country. Rates vary by market: Peru offers the most competitive pricing while Brazil and Uruguay command premium rates for specialized talent.
