Hire full-stack developers from Latin America
"Full-stack" is the easiest title to claim and the hardest to verify. The only honest test is to hand someone a feature that crosses the schema, the API and the UI, and watch where they get uncomfortable.
Brief us on this role
Brief us Monday; we aim to send the write-ups by Friday. Search, interviews and a shortlist you decline cost nothing.
The two hours before you meet them
The candidate adds a new field that has to reach the database, the API contract and two screens, in a codebase they saw ten minutes ago. We are watching for the migration they forget, the API version they break, and whether they tell us about the breakage or hope we do not notice.
What we fail people for
A syntax quiz proves nothing. These are the mistakes that decide a no, and they only surface once the work stops being tidy.
- Strong on one side, bluffing on the other
- Confident in the UI, cannot explain an index or a transaction boundary. Or the reverse. The gap always shows in the second hour.
- Ships the migration that locks the table
- Writes correct SQL with no sense of what it does to a live table under load.
- Never mentions the contract break
- Changes a response shape and does not raise it. Everything downstream is now the client's problem.
Stack we test
Tools change. Judgment travels. We still test in the stack your team runs, including the paths where it breaks.
They join your team, not a bench
An embedded engineer sits in your standup, your repo and your Slack from day one. We never leave the loop: the founder who vetted them still reads their code weekly or every two weeks, then sends that read in writing.
- Engineers you get to know
- You get a person with a name, a write-up and a calendar. Nobody is swapped out behind your back, and no second account manager sits between you and them.
- They work inside your process
- Your repo, your board, your standup, your review rules. We do not run a parallel delivery process or insert a project manager you did not ask for.
- We stay in the engagement
- The founder who ran the vetting reads the work weekly or every two weeks and sends you one page: what shipped, what stalled, and where we would push back on you.
- 4 to 6 hours of real overlap
- Latin American time zones mean the working day overlaps yours, so review, pairing and incident response happen live rather than on a 12-hour delay.
What full-stack engineers cost
One hourly rate in USD covers their pay, our fee, the vetting, contracts and invoicing. The band comes from what they did in the pairing session, not the title on their CV.

Planning range, not a quote. Pairing performance, stack, overlap, engagement length and start date set the final rate.
Questions about hiring full-stack engineers
We aim for a brief on Monday and a shortlist of one to three full-stack engineers by Friday, then a start date agreed with the candidate. Friday is a target, not a promise: it depends on who clears the bar. You pay nothing for a shortlist you decline.
A full-stack engineer through wepair.works starts at $49 an hour, all-inclusive, in USD, with the band set by what the candidate did in the pairing session rather than by years on a CV.
We hand the candidate a feature that crosses the schema, the API contract and two screens in a codebase they saw ten minutes ago. The migration they forget and the contract they break are the signal.
See a sample write-up
Every shortlisted candidate arrives with what we saw, where they were strong and what they got wrong. Read one before you decide whether this process is any different.
Read the sample vetting write-upTwenty minutes. You leave knowing whether we can fill the role.
Tell us the stack, the scope and the seniority. On the call you get a straight answer on whether we can fill it and what it would cost. If we take it on, a founder pairs with each candidate and you get one to three names with the write-ups attached. If nobody clears the bar, we say so instead of padding the list.
