Founded by senior engineers
Your engineering team in Latin America, built by engineers not recruiters
We help US companies hire nearshore developers from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Chile, and across LATAM. Senior engineers who work your hours, communicate clearly, and contribute to real product delivery from day one.
Founded by senior engineers. Not a recruiting firm. Not a resume board.
Pain / Problem
The hard part is not finding resumes. It is knowing who can actually do the work.
Any recruiter can send you a stack of profiles. What they cannot tell you is who writes clean code under pressure, who communicates clearly enough to join a US standup, who will still be there in six months, and who is actually senior versus someone who put the right keywords on a CV.
We were software engineers before we built this company. We screen candidates the way an engineering lead would, for technical depth, code quality, communication, and remote team fit. Not for keyword matches.
That difference shows up in your first interview, and it keeps showing up after the hire.
Why this is different
We vet candidates like engineers, not recruiters
Most staffing firms
Screen for keywords. Pass along anyone with the right stack on their CV. Hand off a pile of profiles and move on.
Nearshore Developers
Founded by senior engineers. We screen for technical depth, code quality, communication, availability, and remote fit. You meet candidates who can do the job, not whoever applied first.
And we stay involved after the hire. Check-ins, replacement support if needed, and operational help that most firms never offer.

How it works
From brief to candidate in under two weeks
Tell us what you need
Role, tech stack, seniority, budget, and how your team works. The more specific, the better the match. Need a Python backend engineer with FastAPI experience for a fintech product? That is the brief, not "senior developer."
We find and vet candidates the engineering way
Technical screen, communication assessment, work history review, availability check. You only meet people who are ready to interview and qualified to do the work.
You run your own interview process
We coordinate scheduling, feedback, offer details, and start dates. You make the call on who joins your team.
We handle the operating layer
Payroll, contractor setup, onboarding, equipment, IP agreements. The developer shows up ready to work. You skip the paperwork.
Operations
Hire across LATAM without opening a local entity
No need to set up a company in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, or Mexico. We handle the structure so your developer can start working with your team while everything is handled properly on the ground.

Industries
We place engineers in AI, FinTech, and HealthTech
These industries demand more than a warm body with the right stack. They need engineers who can work in regulated environments, communicate clearly with product and compliance teams, and understand the stakes of the systems they are building.
Our screening process was built by engineers who have worked in these environments. That is why the candidates we send are not generic; they are matched to the specific context of your team and industry.

Where we recruit
Nearshore developers across Latin America

Proof
Built by engineers who have done this work
Nearshore Developers is operated by Next Idea Tech, a US-based technology staffing and software development company founded by senior software engineers, not recruiters.
That background changes how we screen. We know what a good technical interview looks like. We know the difference between someone who can talk about distributed systems and someone who can build them. And we know the operational details that cause nearshore hiring to fail: poor communication, time zone friction, messy onboarding, unclear ownership.
1,000+ placements. Companies like Whole Foods, Walmart, Western Mutual, and Arizent have trusted us to build their engineering teams. We are not a job board. We are not a body shop. We are a team of engineers who know how to hire engineers.
