Get Java Developers
Get Java Developers from Latin America
Java engineers with production experience in Spring Boot, microservices, and enterprise-grade systems. LATAM has a strong Java community shaped by the region's large banking and financial services sector.
Why LATAM for Java development
40-50% cost savings
Senior Java developers in LATAM cost $60-90k vs $150-180k in the US. That's a meaningful difference for teams running large Java backends.
Enterprise Java experience
LATAM's banking and financial services sector runs heavily on Java. Developers here have real enterprise experience, not just tutorial-level Spring Boot projects.
Deep OOP and design pattern knowledge
Java is a foundational language in LATAM CS programs. Developers graduate with solid object-oriented fundamentals and design pattern vocabulary.
Compatible timezone
4-8 hours of daily overlap with US teams. Enough for standups, architecture reviews, and real-time incident response.
Modern Java adoption
Java 21 with virtual threads, records, and sealed classes adoption is growing in LATAM's forward-looking engineering teams. Not all legacy, not all bleeding edge.

AWS SQSHow we vet Java developers
Every candidate completes all seven stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
* For common roles like full-stack. Other roles typically take 7 to 10 days.
CV check
Stage 1We review experience, stack, seniority, and career history against the role before anyone is invited to interview. Most applicants stop here.
Behavioral interview
Stage 2A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
Technical interview 1
Role-specificA 90-minute session covering Spring Boot application design, JPA query optimization including N+1 problem diagnosis and lazy vs. eager loading decisions, and exception handling strategy. Candidates work through a microservices scenario: designing service communication, handling partial failures, and implementing retry logic. We also assess their understanding of JVM internals relevant to production: garbage collection overhead, thread pool sizing, and connection pool configuration.
Technical interview 2
Stage 4A second, deeper round on system design, architecture tradeoffs, and code review, matched to the seniority you are hiring for.
Take-home assessment
Stage 5A practical assignment that mirrors real work. We review code quality, testing, documentation, and how the candidate explains their decisions.
Reference check
Stage 6We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate, not personal contacts.
Background check
Stage 7Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

What to expect
What sets our Java developers apart
Java in LATAM comes with enterprise context. Many of our Java developers have worked in financial services, where correctness, auditability, and performance under load are not optional. They bring that discipline to whatever codebase they join.
GitHub Copilot for generating Spring components, repository classes, and unit test skeletons. They treat generated code as a starting point, not a final answer.
AI-assisted Javadoc generation for public APIs and design documentation for architecture decisions.
They use Testcontainers by default for integration tests against real databases, not mocked ones.
Clear, structured technical communication. Java teams in LATAM are used to documentation-heavy environments and adapt to both lightweight and process-heavy development styles.
They understand the cost of distributed transactions and design to avoid them. Eventual consistency patterns are part of their vocabulary.
