Get Kotlin Developers
Get Kotlin Developers from Latin America
Android engineers who build with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and the modern Android stack. LATAM's large Android user base has produced experienced Kotlin developers across consumer and enterprise apps.
Why LATAM for Kotlin development
40-50% cost savings
Senior Kotlin developers in LATAM cost $55-85k vs $150k+ in the US. Experienced Android engineers at a fraction of the Bay Area cost.
Android-dominant market
Android is the dominant mobile platform across LATAM. Developers here have worked on apps used by millions of people in competitive, mobile-first markets. The production experience shows.
Strong OOP fundamentals
OOP fundamentals from LATAM CS programs map directly to Kotlin. Many developers come from Java backgrounds with Android experience before Kotlin.
4-8 hours of daily overlap
UTC-3 to UTC-5 means real-time collaboration is possible with both East and West Coast US teams.
Cross-platform potential
Kotlin Multiplatform is increasingly part of LATAM Kotlin developers' toolkit, giving teams a path to sharing logic across Android and iOS.
What our Kotlin developers know
Kotlin 2.0+How we vet Kotlin 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 Kotlin coroutines in depth including structured concurrency, Flow collection, StateFlow vs SharedFlow, and cancellation handling. We also cover Jetpack Compose state management with state hoisting, derived state, and effects cleanup, and dependency injection with Hilt. Candidates work through an Android feature: a repository pattern with Room, a use case layer, a ViewModel with StateFlow, and a Compose screen handling loading, error, and success states correctly.
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 Kotlin developers apart
Android has a reputation for legacy patterns and fragmentation. Our Kotlin developers build with the modern stack from the start: Compose UI, coroutines for everything async, and modular architecture that survives feature growth. They've shipped apps used by millions of people in LATAM's mobile-first markets.
GitHub Copilot for generating Compose UI components, ViewModel boilerplate, and coroutine patterns. They review generated coroutine code carefully for cancellation and scope handling.
AI-assisted Hilt module and repository class generation, cutting setup time on new features significantly.
They test coroutines with Turbine and Mockk, not just happy-path unit tests.
Clear communication about Android-specific constraints: battery impact, background task limits, Doze mode, and Play Store policy changes.
Active code reviewers who explain Android-specific reasoning in comments, not just style feedback.
