Get Rust Developers
Get Rust Developers from Latin America
Systems engineers who work in Rust for performance-critical services, WebAssembly, or memory-safe systems programming. Rust expertise is rare anywhere. LATAM has a small but capable community.
Why LATAM for Rust development
Rare skills at lower cost
Senior Rust developers in LATAM cost $70-100k vs $180k+ in the US. Rust expertise commands a premium everywhere, but LATAM provides a meaningful discount.
Type theory background
CS-trained developers who understand memory management and type theory adapt well to Rust's ownership model. LATAM's academic CS programs create that foundation.
WebAssembly and systems community
LATAM's growing WebAssembly and systems programming community is producing Rust developers who work in production environments, not just toy projects.
UTC-3 to UTC-5
Compatible with US East and West Coast teams. Rust work tends to be focused and async-friendly, which suits the timezone difference well.
C++ and HPC backgrounds
LATAM Rust developers often come from C++ or high-performance computing backgrounds, bringing pre-existing systems programming context.

cargo testHow we vet Rust 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 Rust's ownership model at a deep level. Candidates explain lifetime annotations in complex scenarios, demonstrate understanding of the borrow checker's rules, and discuss when to use Arc<Mutex<T>> vs message-passing channels for shared state. We work through an async Tokio service implementation with proper error handling using thiserror and ? propagation. Candidates also review a code sample with subtle unsafe usage and explain what invariants it requires to be correct.
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 Rust developers apart
Rust developers who can get code to compile but don't understand why are a liability. Ours understand the ownership model and can explain their design decisions in terms of safety guarantees. They write Rust that's idiomatic, not Rust that looks like C++ or Java with different syntax.
GitHub Copilot for Rust boilerplate: derive macros, impl blocks, and trait implementations. They validate generated lifetime annotations carefully.
AI-assisted generation of comprehensive property-based tests with proptest, improving coverage of edge cases.
They use cargo-deny to audit dependencies for security vulnerabilities. Supply chain safety is a first-class concern.
They communicate the cost of Rust clearly to non-Rust stakeholders. They know when Rust is the right tool and when Go or Python would serve better.
They write documentation as part of the API surface. Rustdoc examples compile and run as tests.
