Building a great software development team today is harder than ever. The U.S. tech industry is facing a massive shortage of skilled engineers, and companies are struggling to fill key roles. Hiring locally is slow, expensive, and highly competitive.
That’s why more CTOs are expanding their talent search globally—and they’re not just outsourcing randomly. They’re strategically hiring top-tier Latin American (LATAM) developers through Plugg Technologies. Here’s the top ten reason why this trend is booming—and why you should be paying attention.
Great developers aren’t just in Silicon Valley or New York. They’re everywhere. When you limit hiring to one location, you shrink your talent options. With Plugg Technologies, you gain access to a vast network of skilled engineers in Latin America, specializing in AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and more.
The advantage? You’re not competing in the same talent war as every other U.S. company. Instead, you get access to incredible developers who are just as skilled—but far less expensive.
(Need proof? According to Stack Overflow’s Developer Survey, LATAM developers are one of the fastest-growing tech segments globally.)
Hiring U.S.-based engineers is expensive—and it’s not just salaries. Office costs, benefits, and overhead quickly add up. Nearshoring to LATAM offers a smarter alternative by providing top-tier talent at a fraction of U.S. salaries.
For example, the average senior developer salary in the U.S. exceeds $120,000, while equally skilled engineers in Mexico, Brazil, or Argentina cost significantly less. The result? Your budget stretches further, allowing you to build a stronger, more capable team.

A developer’s skills go beyond coding. Communication matters. Our developers aren’t just technically proficient—they’re also bilingual, making collaboration with U.S. teams seamless.
Many of our engineers have worked with U.S. and European companies, meaning they understand international business, compliance, and industry-specific expectations. Whether you need fintech, healthcare, SaaS, or e-commerce expertise, we’ve got the right talent.
Hiring in the U.S. can take months—especially for niche roles. Plugg Technologies shrinks that timeline dramatically.
Bottom line? You get the talent you need—fast.

Diverse teams think differently. They tackle problems in fresh ways, leading to more creative solutions and better products. LATAM is home to some of the most exciting emerging tech talent, and companies that tap into this resource are seeing real innovation gains.
Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants are already investing heavily in LATAM talent. Why not your company?

Time zone differences are one of the biggest problems with offshore outsourcing. If your team is in India or Eastern Europe, you’re stuck dealing with delays, overnight feedback loops, and communication breakdowns.
With LATAM nearshoring, you work in the same (or very similar) time zone as your developers. That means:
For Agile teams, this is a game-changer.
Software doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why Plugg Technologies offers dedicated teams that support your projects around the clock.
