For many U.S. companies, the challenge of attracting and retaining affordable, highly skilled software developers within its borders remains significant. Meanwhile, across Latin America, a wealth of talented developers seeks opportunities to work on stable, innovative projects with industry-leading companies.
At AgilityFeat, we’ve spent over a decade solving this puzzle. Since 2010, our U.S.-based company, with offices in Panamá and Colombia, has been the bridge connecting these two worlds. We’ve helped countless U.S. companies scale their development teams while opening doors for Latin American tech professionals to access career-defining opportunities.
We’ve found that for the developers themselves, working with U.S. companies offers opportunities that go far beyond just a paycheck. I recently discussed this on a Scaling Tech Podcast episode on Nearshore Software Development in Latin America.
Beyond Competitive Compensation
While competitive salaries attract Latin American developers to U.S. companies, the real appeal lies in career advancement.
“It’s about growth opportunities. In some countries, developers often find themselves working for large banks working only on code support or traditional companies. While stable, these roles can limit their exposure to cutting-edge technologies and diverse projects. U.S. clients offer something different—a chance to engage in meaningful, innovative work that expands their skill sets.”
This diversity of experience proves invaluable. Working with U.S. companies exposes developers to advanced technologies, agile methodologies, and collaborative environments rarely found in traditional local industries.
Creating a Culture of Inclusion
At AgilityFeat, we’ve learned that top talent seeks more than just technical challenges.
“The people we want to attract value a culture of belonging. They don’t want fluff—they want meaningful work in an environment that respects their contributions and gives them a voice.”
Our remote-first approach has been fundamental to our success:
“We’ve always been remote, long before it became the norm. We’ve learned how to bridge gaps and ensure relationships can grow despite distances. For us, it’s not about managing a distant team; it’s about creating a close-knit team, no matter where people are located.”
The Global Professional Edge
Working with U.S. companies offers Latin American developers unique career advantages beyond technical skills:
“It’s not just about learning to code; it’s about learning to communicate and solve problems in a global context. That’s a skill that stays with you for life.”
Partners in Success
The foundation of lasting partnerships lies in mutual respect and shared goals:
“Developers aren’t passengers in the journey. They’re outcome drivers. When companies treat them as integral members of their team, they not only attract top talent but also keep them engaged long-term.”
