Get Java Developers
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.
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.
LATAM's banking and financial services sector runs heavily on Java. Developers here have real enterprise experience, not just tutorial-level Spring Boot projects.
Java is a foundational language in LATAM CS programs. Developers graduate with solid object-oriented fundamentals and design pattern vocabulary.
4-8 hours of daily overlap with US teams. Enough for standups, architecture reviews, and real-time incident response.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
