Time zone honesty

Live through your afternoon

Latin America runs behind London, and that works better than it sounds: your afternoon is their working day, live in your Slack.

  • Time zone

    Your UK afternoon, live

    Sao Paulo runs three to four hours behind London; from late morning onwards you are collaborating in real time, every day.

  • Cost

    50-75% below a UK hire

    The all-in saving against a comparable UK-market senior engineer, with the same standard of vetting behind it.

  • What they build

    AI, ML and full-stack

    Five to nine years in production, most with US or European companies behind them already.

  • English

    Fluent and vetted

    Every engineer is screened by our senior technical team. Argentina ranks first in Latin America on the EF English index.

Why LATAM

Why US companies are hiring in Latin America.

    01What is the time zone overlap with the UK?

    Latin America runs three to seven hours behind London depending on the country. Sao Paulo is closest at three to four hours, so from late morning your teams work live together; stand-ups sit naturally in the UK afternoon.

    02Do the engineers really speak fluent English?

    Yes. Every engineer is screened for spoken and written English by our senior technical team before you meet them, and Argentina and Colombia rank at the top of the region's English indexes.

    03Who handles Latin American employment law and compliance?

    We do. HR, payroll, tax and local compliance are handled in each country, so there is nothing for you to set up. Because the engineer is our employee rather than your contractor, UK employment-status questions do not arise.

    04Can we vet our engineers ourselves?

    Always. You interview every candidate and make the final call. We shortlist two vetted engineers per role, typically within 7 working days, and you take it from there.

    05How do Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Colombia differ?

    Mexico City is our largest hub and strongest in fintech and full-stack. Brazil brings product and scale experience, Argentina leads on English and data, and Colombia balances cost with an Eastern-US-style working day.

    06Are LATAM engineers used to working with Western teams?

    Most have already shipped production code at US or European companies, so English-first remote work with Western tooling is their default. UK clients inherit that working style from day one.

    07Where do IP protection and data privacy stand?

    Your IP is yours. Contracts assign all work product to you, engineers sign NDAs, and we support your security and data-privacy requirements per country.
