Get Technical Writers
Get Technical Writers from Latin America
Technical writers from Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia who produce documentation that engineers and developers actually use. They understand the products they document, ask the right questions, and deliver content that reduces support tickets.
Why LATAM for technical writing
Strong cost advantage
Senior technical writers in the US earn $110k-$150k. LATAM equivalents deliver at $40k-$70k, meaningful savings for a role that creates compounding value over time.
Timezone overlap for synchronous review
Technical writers need access to engineers and product managers for interviews and reviews. LATAM's 4-8 hour overlap with US teams makes this collaboration practical.
Bilingual documentation capability
LATAM technical writers can produce English documentation and support Spanish or Portuguese localization for LATAM markets, a practical advantage for global products.
Technical depth alongside writing skill
The best technical writers understand what they're documenting. LATAM writers who specialize in developer documentation often have software engineering or IT backgrounds.
Developer documentation experience
LATAM technical writers increasingly work on API documentation, SDK guides, and developer portals, not just end-user manuals. The developer-first documentation discipline is growing here.
What our technical writers know
API documentation (OpenAPI / Swagger)
Docs-as-code workflow (Git + CI)How we vet technical writers
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.
Skills interview 1
Role-specificA 75-minute live session covering three areas. First, comprehension: given a real API endpoint with request/response schema, candidates write a documentation section including description, parameters, code examples in two languages, and common error scenarios. We evaluate technical accuracy, clarity, and whether examples actually run. Second, interviewing skill: given a brief engineer persona, candidates conduct a 10-minute mock SME interview to extract the information they'd need to document a new feature. Third, revision: a given documentation paragraph with passive voice, ambiguity, and a factual gap, candidates identify and fix each problem and explain their reasoning.
Skills interview 2
Stage 4A second, deeper round with an experienced practitioner on craft, judgment, and tradeoffs in the role, matched to the seniority you are hiring for.
Take-home assessment
Stage 5A practical assignment that mirrors real work in the role. We review the quality of the output, the reasoning behind it, and how clearly 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 sets our technical writers apart
Technical writers in our network write documentation that gets used. They test their own docs, reduce support ticket volume as a measurable outcome, and use AI tools to move faster on the drafting and consistency work so they can focus on accuracy and structure.
AI-assisted first-draft generation: they use Claude or Copilot to create initial documentation drafts from OpenAPI specs, source code comments, or product briefs, then refine for accuracy, voice, and missing context.
Style consistency checking with Vale or custom linting rules catches tone drift and banned terminology before docs publish. AI tools accelerate this setup.
API documentation is scaffolded from OpenAPI specs automatically, then enriched with real code examples they test themselves. Machine-generated structure, human-verified accuracy.
They track documentation against support ticket volume. If the same question comes in three times, the answer belongs in the docs, and they update it without being asked.
They communicate documentation debt clearly: which parts of the product are underdocumented, what the cost is in support hours, and what the fix prioritization should be.
