Get Terraform Engineers
Infrastructure-as-code specialists from Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia who write Terraform modules used in production. They manage state across environments, build reusable module libraries, and apply security scanning and drift detection as standard practice.
Senior Terraform engineers in the US earn $155k-$195k. LATAM equivalents deliver at $68k-$100k — significant for IaC roles that often sit across multiple cloud environments.
LATAM timezone aligns with US business hours for 4-8 hours daily. IaC changes that affect production environments need review and merge windows that overlap with on-call engineers.
Good Terraform engineers write module documentation as part of the work, not as a follow-up task. LATAM engineers in this space are used to creating input/output documentation that other engineers can actually use.
Terraform's provider ecosystem spans AWS, Azure, GCP, and dozens of SaaS tools. LATAM engineers increasingly manage multi-cloud environments where Terraform is the common denominator.
Terraform, Vault, and Consul are common in LATAM infrastructure teams. Some engineers have migrated to OpenTofu following the HashiCorp license change and can work in either.
Every candidate completes all five stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
A timed test measuring analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving clarity, independent of specific programming language knowledge.
A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
A 90-minute live session where candidates write a Terraform module live — a reusable VPC module with configurable CIDR blocks, subnets, and security groups. We probe state management: how they handle multi-environment setups, state file locking, and what happens during a failed apply. Candidates explain how they'd refactor a flat Terraform configuration into reusable modules, and walk through how they detect and fix state drift. The session includes a security review: given a Terraform plan output, they identify IAM over-permissioning, missing encryption settings, and public access misconfigurations.
Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate in an engineering context, not personal contacts.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

Terraform engineers in our network treat IaC like application code: modular, reviewed, tested, and monitored for drift. They don't apply changes that skip CI. They use AI tools to handle the scaffolding work so they can focus on module design and security review.
GitHub Copilot for HCL module scaffolding, variable and output definitions, and tfvars file generation. Complex resource trees get drafted faster without sacrificing review.
AI-assisted security scanning with Checkov and tfsec is integrated into every PR. Misconfigurations are caught before apply, not during a security audit.
Infracost is configured in CI so every Terraform PR includes a cost estimate delta. Expensive infrastructure changes don't slip through without visibility.
They document every module: input variables, output values, examples, and the 'why' behind non-obvious design decisions.
They flag when a Terraform change should wait for a maintenance window and communicate the blast radius before merging.
